Moroni understood the gospel, he understood the nature of man, he understood warfare and he understood politics. He sent out spies and asked the prophet about the movement of the Lamanites. He used the faculties of his mind that the lord gave him and trusted in the lord and went to his servant for advice/knowledge.
Thank you Tyler for your valuable insights on the Book of Mormon! I am one of those who didn't get very much out of the war chapters in the past but you have enlightened my understanding of the importance of why they were included. I loved your comparison to the devil and how he tries to attack us but we have the Savior to help us fight those battles
An interesting and exciting lesson! The war chapters weren’t so provocative to me previously. You made them come alive with the analogies you presented.. I don’t think there are any better chapters in the BOM that masterfully demonstrate how they can be so accurately likened to our present day world and country. Truly a “survival guide” for our time. Thank you for your diligent, thoughtful preparation of these lessons Brother Griffin. Studying with you this year has enriched and blessed my life in so many ways.
Keep in mind how exasperated Moroni was from battles already with Lamanites including those under Zerahemna. By the time Amalickiah enters the scene, Moroni is rightly grieved. The rending of the garment in the Bible is known as Kriah (Hebrew) which means tearing. The custom of tearing or rending the outer garment is an external sign of grief. Captain Moroni has already experienced great losses to his armies and is now seeing the threat to liberty and right to worship. Grieved by these threats, he rends/tears (Kriah) his outer garment and thus creates his title of liberty to which his Nephite compatriots rally around.
Very well put. It makes me think we should all be rending our own clothes and rally around the Title of Liberty that Captain Moroni made. We are much in the same position. thank you, great comment.
The peace comes when we show that we will deny Ha Satan and follow Christ. Then we feast with Him and He grants us "the peace that passerh all understanding." Those who have ears to hear....
Brother Tyler, you are such a blessing! You are easy to follow and help me understand my scriptures more. Thank you for being a part of my every week! Sending much aloha!
I believe that as we go through tough times and Jesus is there to hold our hand and/or say "I'll take care of it" and know how much He Loves us, and that Love we feel, we would walk through Hell for Jesus. It's those hard times that we turn to the Lord and He is there. And sometimes failing a test only makes us stronger the next time and determined and know that yes Jesus was there the whole time.
I love to listen with you brother Tyler , i was reminded of a war like todays battle especially in parenting,defending and keep them safe my family from the negative side of social media.
I've always LOVED the war chapters (since I was a Seminary student because I had a wonderful teacher) and I think it's very relevant for our day. I get pretty excited when I get to these parts! :)
I loved this. I am a basketball fan. They say that defense wins championships. On ESPN they typically show offense and little to no defense. I also love the thought of motivation. God's motivation is to help us grow, satan's plan is to oppress us and enslave us. These thoughts I will share when I teach this Sunday.
The wars you speak of do not just include the battles against sin. They can also include the battles against weaknesses like mental health, social interactions, emotional traumas, intellectual (memory) challenges, etc.
We will be face with these same type battles in these last days..... We will need to arm ourselves spiritually and physically. Just like those that stood with Moroni. Just like Venezuela is going through now!
That’s the Liberty Defense Charter we are endowed with and obligation. But the so called sensitive times they say we should only apply the spiritual aspect of the BoM- and so I am exactly with you on that topic. It is our duty to raise the Title of Liberty for the defense of God Liberty Family Religion and Country. I have been told that politics does not belong in the church. But the Book of Mormon is also the Book of Politics and Liberty. I am concerned about the fearfulness and apologetic demeanor the Saints display. Nephi didn’t apologize, nor did captain Moroni. We certainly are not bloodthirsty but I am heaping up the earth and build moats and trenches metaphorically spiritual and actual on addition to arming myself and my family appropriately spiritually and ACTUAL. And that is apparently at least in my Utah ward highly frowned on. Why? because they have apostatized from the Book of Mormon.
The war chapters are the best chapters in the book of Mormon. I don't understand why members of the church struggle with them. They are awesome! I look forward to and love reading them.
I appreciated your teaching of the Book of Mormon. I am now on chapter 48 and you made it easy by giving the summary about the war. I like how you analyzed it by being between Christ and Satan with making choices. It is not always an easy place to be but with keeping the covenants with the Lord, it always work that the Lord wins the war. One reason why we tell our youths to Choose The Right. Whatever choices we make is where we determine to be. In truth, if Jesus Christ and Satan make choices for everyone there will be no need for judgement day. Jesus Christ and Satan will take the blame for our actions and behaviors. I love the Book of Mormon knowing it is true words of God. I do follow this Book of Mormon study.
I have been listening to you for years and I always come away learning. I listened to you read the BOM with Pastor Jeff and I was so grateful for your charity and knowledge. Thank you.
A brilliant lesson - had never understood why so many war chapters… thank you so much for the explanation of how we can see our struggles against the adversary and prepare and strengthen ourselves to keep our covenants . Many blessings to you x
I love the introduction of Revelations 12 - great for explaining why these war chapters are so very significant - I didn't realise the Church had revealed the location of Zarahemla and of the Book of Mormon events.?
@@caroldavey7634 This map is Brother Tyler’s interpretation of how the different cities and lands are laid out. He explained how he put this together 4 years ago when he was teaching with Taylor.
I have gone through a period where the Lord is teaching me. Content, especially consumed on TH-cam can be very dangerous. Especially gospel content, when not presented by true sources. I fell into a trap of going to the channels that seemed more interesting in their thumbnails, or well produced content, flashy. And they often spout opinions and theories from learned scholars or very switched on members. Not all of it is bad. But the Lord has been teaching me where to look for sources of truth and light, sources that don't have a motive of monetary incentive too. Not that that is inherently bad either. But prophets have nothing to gain, they get ridiculed. They are storing up treasures in heaven, not here. And that has shifted the way I consume content so drastically. I've turned away from flashy content with sometimes quite absurd content, you hebe to learn to discern. It is so easy to become tricked. This channel is one I feel directed to give attention too for real gospel learning as well as general conference talks and other talks from prophets and apostles.
Thank you for your support! We strive to align ourselves with the Church Leaders and stay well away from speculation and clickbait. We hope that we can co to use to be a source of inspiration each time you consume our content! Thanks! 🙏
Need to remember warfare was in the preexistence and a necessity for proving we have kept our second estate. We encounter Ha Satan in the Temple, and need to learn how to recognize him, and discern what he is trying to do. Then, we make covenants that we will only follow Jesus the Christ. In doing so, we are clothed in garments of light; we feast with the Lord, and return with Him to the Father, to be joint heirs with Him.
The lessons for our individual lives are great! Also, the parallels between the Nephites/Lamanites and Israel/Hamas are amazingly clear, yet I hear no mention of this on any platform. How could this be, so shortly after the prophet invited us to study the promises to the covenant children of Israel? "O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them. But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people." - 2 Nephi 29:5 How can we so easily forget the covenant children of Israel who are fighting for their lives and liberties in the covenant land of Israel?
Moroni wasn’t 15. 17 And Moroni took all the command, and the government of their wars. And he was only twenty and five years old when he was appointed chief captain over the armies of the Nephites.
I hate it so much that you people are so blinded that you always try to teach us ”politics has no room in the church” and you always look or interpret “through the lens of” for a real history war and the very causes of it, and the destruction of or Holy Land of Promise and the Title of Liberty (for our day) , and intentionally negate neglect the active engagement in the defense of Liberty, God, Religion, Family and Country, saying it’s all a metaphor so you can fight spirituality. This war is spiritual as well as physical, that’s why Nephi killed Laban, that’s why Nephi’s admonitions to his brothers were hard in their sight, that’s why Nephi was frustrated about the wickedness about his own evil that so easily beset him 2 Nephi 4:19, but finds hope in Jesus, that’s why Captain Moroni killed 4000 kingmen. it is wickedness that you try to apologize for the the truth in from the book of mormon. Is it hard for you too to understand that the Book of Mormon is also a book of warfare instructions that also teaches us to defend our liberty with everything we have available. It’s time we call it what it is and live it.
I have come to love and respect the “war chapters”…Thank you so much for this beautiful and strengthening lesson!
The word "preparation" has a new meaning to me. I'm so grateful for your weekly inspiring lessons, respected brother Griffin 😊
Moroni understood the gospel, he understood the nature of man, he understood warfare and he understood politics. He sent out spies and asked the prophet about the movement of the Lamanites. He used the faculties of his mind that the lord gave him and trusted in the lord and went to his servant for advice/knowledge.
Is this the same Moroni who buries the gold plates?
@@myfencingcenter6265 This is captain Moroni.

THANK YOU !! I'm so glad the Lord Blessed You so well. God Bless You and Your Family Forever !! In Jesus name !! Amen.
God will protect us with armor so that we can go build and create goodness in our world. Satan will give us weapons to fight those who offend us.

I agree stay true to our covenant ❤️🙏
The reality is we are living the Book of Mormon...or telling us about us
Thank you for helping my family understand the scriptures better and helping me be a better Youth Sunday School Teacher 😊

Yes, Benjamin is the one who is on the Rabbi Joe videos.
I would love a link to that map… so clear and useful to use as I study. Does anyone know if its available?

Why do you cook them before freezing? Everything is already cooked?
Is the interactive map you use available for personal use?
Yes!
