I’ve always thought smart phones were an object like a seer stone, we can see anything from all around the world, even other planets, in seconds, in the palms of our hands. Seems like a precursor to something much Holier.
Matt, I just happened upon your channel today…. (No such thing as coincidence!). I’ve listened to the first two and have gone back to take notes. I can’t get enough! I have questions I’d love to ask. Thank you for sharing with us.
I’ve watched a couple of your videos and really appreciate your humble attitude and the things you share. Good insights. I like that you lost your phone then when recovered used for higher and holier purposes. Very good. I feel for my young adult kids in their 20’s and it breaks my heart thinking of children with phones. Phones were only becoming a thing when ours were teens. Keep doing your videos they are great and you remind me of my friend Watcher Palmer, except he’s much much older, but same style, just speaks from the heart! I’m grateful the Spirit had guided me to find your channel and his and a few others to use this device and TV in higher ways! Thank you Brother Jeppson!
This was amazing! Rev 2:17 has been on my mind a lot. I had an experience so similar to your loss of phone and your important spiritual data that it is almost beyond belief. My data wasn’t lost in a River however both of these experiences are a testimony in and of themselves That God is aware of ALL THINGS and EVERYONE. We just need the eyes and ears to recognize HIS voice and HANDS in our own lives. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
That is awesome those similarities, thanks for sharing. The Lord truly is in all things, his tapestry is perfect! Life becomes such a joy when we realize this and we seek to do his will.
This thought has been on my mind for a while now… how I can make better use of my device and not have it be such a time waster. I am so grateful for your thoughts. This video is giving me the push I need to overcome the urges to mindlessly waste time on my phone. I’ve listened to a couple of your videos now and I must say I really feel the spirit confirming so much truth. Thank you again!
Old age confusion may cause me to lose my place on comments but I did see a verse concerning your promptings to share. Moses 6 "it was given to as many as called on God to write by the spirit of inspiration". Your response to the spirit is appreciated as we all continue to research. 🙂 Jill Sifford
24:58 I thought the same thing that the breastplate stones look like an iPhone screen. I hadn’t really ever thought more about it though. Thanks for adding additional insight. It’s like how you talk about things being a counterfeit… iPhones have truth but now days with so much false information. Becoming more of a counterfeit to the urim and thumim?? I have also been thinking lately how I want my own Liahona to show me the way. After listening to this maybe it’s actually a urim and thumim that I would like. I believe the prophet Joseph Smiths words. If he says any worthy person can get one then that’s what I’ll work towards. Sounds like the perfect tool to have in the last days. I’m sure that the Lords words to Emma Smith to “lay aside the things of this world and seek for better things” is a good place to start. Also praying about it and asking for it.
It’s definitely both a counterfeit and a preparatory (and testing) tool. It depends 100% on how you use it which it will be. There is great intentionality that they are available to this last generation, an important tool to both sides gearing up for the end. Thanks for your comments.
“In reality, most of us use a kind of “seer stone” every day. My mobile phone is like a “seer stone.” I can get the collected knowledge of the world through a few little inputs. I can take a photo or a video with my phone and share it with family on the other side of our planet. I can even translate anything into or from many different languages!” Elder Uchtdorf, 2016
Thanks Matt for sharing. I’ve contemplated these things too. I guess i just didn’t ask what it meant and why I needed this. It gave me much to contemplate
Could you tell me the source of your list of uses for the urim and thumim? It looks like you are reading from something. I tried to find it myself on the internet, but was unsuccessful. This was sooo inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks, glad it was helpful. This list comes from all statements I found in the Topical Guide and statements by latter day prophets. If you search for them individually by phrase, you will find all of them (and more that will be useful! Where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord; obtaining revelation from the Lord, translating languages; where saints could look in it and see as they are seen; used in the midst of his holy house, in his Temple, to trace individuals and nations among all people back to ancient times will be revealed; whereby things pertaining to a higher order of kingdoms will be made known; whereby all things pertaining to an inferior kingdom, or all kingdoms of a lower order, will be manifest; in judgment and discerning (see breastplate references).
Sure, I hope these are somewhat helpful! As I mentioned on Ezra’s I pushed back on promptings on this for awhile because I have NO interest in becoming anything of a TH-cam personality. Satan was doing some kind of reverse pride on me. I want to see the headlines when you guys pass your days over 110 record down there!
I am trying to define what it means to be sanctified. Made holy? By following a higher and holier way I assume we will get there eventually. This is my quest and curiosity of the moment.
I had to take a break from Twitter even from posting the gospel because even those who are supposed to be gospel oriented were turning south. It is frightening and frustrating 😢

So amazing. Your phone was baptized and saved! Truly was a miracle!
You have helped to calm me. It will be wonderful to have the Savior come and have all wickedness end.

Thank you. Coming back to the church after a long period of inactivity. These are a great boon.
That makes me so happy to hear, so glad you are back!

Just saw this but thank you! The Lord merciful to let us all participate in small ways in the amazing things he’s doing!

Great video.
I cannot wait to have a urim and thummim that won't spy on me.
Well said. The phone thing I hadn’t thought about, but it’s a great analogy.

Glad the Lord led you to it to continue his message to you! Thanks for sharing that.
So good. Thank you!
Thank you Matt! I needed to hear this today!
So glad to hear that. Thanks for letting me know, it means a lot!
Thank you for the new perspective.
We are on the same path, thanks for thw videos.

D&C 130:8-11 is the white stone reference and goes with Rev 2:17
Also Rev 2:7 and D&C 76:60 talks about overcoming the world preparing to receive the fruit of the tree of life (translation / transfiguration)
Thank you my friend

Pure, is the purest word I've came across. 😊
Sanctification means to keep the commandments.
Hi Matt,
Is it possible to have you come down you presentation at my church ?
The one you posted on your channel 3 weeks ago?
I had to take a break from Twitter even from posting the gospel because even those who are supposed to be gospel oriented were turning south. It is frightening and frustrating 😢
