Isaiah 40-49 God's Promises for His People | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson
What does it mean to see God as a mother in labor, a nursing mother, and a bridegroom? In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Isaiah 40–49 and the powerful feminine imagery that reveals God’s love, compassion, and covenant relationship with His people.Lynne examines the surprising ways Isaiah describes God as a woman in childbirth, a nursing mother who cannot forget her children, and Jerusalem or Zion as a bride. These images invite us to see the Lord’s relationship with His people through the tenderness, sacrifice, and enduring love of motherhood and marriage.The discussion also turns to Cyrus the Great, the Persian ruler who played a remarkable role in the history of Israel and the restoration of Jerusalem. What does Isaiah’s prophecy teach us about God’s ability to work through unexpected people and nations to accomplish His purposes?Join Lynne as she uncovers the women, symbols, and covenant themes woven throughout these chapters—and discovers how Isaiah’s words continue to deepen our understanding of the Savior.In this episode:God as a woman in childbirthNursing mothers and the Lord’s unfailing remembranceCyrus the Great and the restoration of IsraelJerusalem and Zion as a brideThe tender, covenant love of GodSubscribe to Scripture Central for more episodes of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines and discover the women and feminine imagery that help us better understand the scriptures.#HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #Isaiah #OldTestament #ScriptureCentral #BibleStudy #Zion #CyrusTheGreat

"Stand Forever" Ep. 33 | The Truth—The Church of Jesus Christ Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on earth?The Church could have lost its way and divine approval since it was organized in 1830. It wouldn’t be the first time; in fact, it is the pattern of history. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” So, let’s look at some of the fruits. Christ is the center, the chief cornerstone of His Church. Priesthood authority is evidence of the kingdom of God on earth. Beginning with Joseph Smith and down to the present-day, God has called prophets to guide us as He has always done before.One of the glorious truths of the restoration is that the heavens are open, and God speaks not only to prophets as He has done throughout the ages, but to all His children who ask, knock, and seek. Revelation is both a sign of the truth and the means to know it.Is it worth the effort to find out? No endeavor could be more important, nor could more hang on a single question.Apostasy has always toppled the kingdom of God on earth, but not this time. This time the kingdom of God will stand forever against all odds and opposition. This time it will not fail.

Isaiah 13-35 A Prophet Whom Jesus Loved | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson
In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, biblical scholar Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Isaiah chapters 13–35, a powerful collection of prophecies filled with warnings, judgment, hope, destruction, and visions of the future.Isaiah is one of the Bible’s most influential and frequently quoted prophets, and these chapters demonstrate why his words have echoed through scripture for centuries. Lynne examines Isaiah’s prophecies concerning great cities and nations, including Babylon and Tyre, while also exploring the vivid imagery Isaiah uses to describe destruction, captivity, and the ultimate triumph of God.What do these chapters teach us about ravished wives, female slaves, and the daughters of Tarshish? What was life like for women caught in the devastating consequences of ancient warfare and conquest? Lynne brings attention to the women who appear—sometimes only briefly—in Isaiah’s prophecies and helps us better understand their experiences within the ancient world.But Isaiah’s vision reaches far beyond his own day. These chapters also contain dramatic images that look toward the apocalypse and the end times, when the wicked are judged, the world is transformed, and God’s salvation is revealed. From the fall of Babylon to the eventual redemption of Zion, Isaiah’s message combines sobering warnings with some of scripture’s most beautiful promises of hope.Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as she continues her journey through the Old Testament and uncovers the women, history, symbolism, and powerful prophetic messages found in Isaiah 13–35. Discover why Isaiah remains one of the most important voices in scripture—and why his ancient prophecies still speak so powerfully to our world today.#Isaiah #OldTestament #BibleStudy #WomenInTheBible #LynneHiltonWilson #HandmaidensHaremsHeroines #Babylon #Tyre #EndTimes #Apocalypse #ScriptureStudy

"Stand Forever" Ep. 32 | The Truth—Was Joseph Smith A Prophet? Part II | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Pick almost any scripture from the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, and ask yourself if they read like the words of deceit, lunacy, or God. Joseph Smith said, “…that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” Following the three-month period of translation between April and June 1829, Joseph Smith produced the manuscript of what would be printed and published the following year as the Book of Mormon, a book of over 500 printed pages. And not just any book—a book dictated in a continuous stream without notes, books, or reference materials, with layers upon layers of complexity. How does an uneducated young man produce a complicated narration of multiple literary structures and styles, a web of hundreds of chronological and geographical references, multiple discernible authorship styles, hundreds of authorship shifts, language patterns and idioms of the Near East, and also fill the scores of gaps of truth missing from the Bible all in a continuous, unassisted, unedited flow of dictation in 60 days? The Book of Mormon appearing on the scene within two months, containing what it contains, does not happen in the ordinary course of events without the intervention of a higher power. The Book of Mormon speaks for itself.

Isaiah 1-12 Shakespeare of the Old Testament | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson
Join Lynne Hilton Wilson for another fascinating episode of Women in the Old Testament as she explores Isaiah chapters 1–12, some of the most beautiful, powerful, and influential passages in all of scripture.Often called the “Shakespeare of the Old Testament,” Isaiah is a master of language, poetry, imagery, and prophecy. His words move from warnings and judgments to soaring visions of hope, redemption, peace, and the coming of the Messiah. In these chapters, Isaiah paints unforgettable pictures of the Lord's mission and the future restoration of Israel.Lynne explores these remarkable chapters with special attention to the connections between Isaiah and the Book of Mormon. No other ancient record helps illuminate Isaiah quite like the Book of Mormon, where Isaiah's prophecies are quoted, explained, and applied by prophets who testify of Jesus Christ. From Nephi's powerful teachings to later Book of Mormon prophets, these scriptures help us see why Isaiah's words were so important—and why they continue to speak to disciples of Christ today.Together, we'll examine Isaiah's extraordinary prophecies of the Messiah, including the promised Immanuel, the divine Child who would be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and the prophetic vision of a world transformed by the reign of Jesus Christ.What do these ancient prophecies teach us about the Savior? Why did Book of Mormon prophets treasure and repeatedly quote Isaiah? And how can understanding Isaiah's poetic language help us better recognize the message of Christ woven throughout the Old Testament?Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as we begin an unforgettable journey through the words of Isaiah—the Shakespeare of the Old Testament—and discover the beauty, power, and testimony of Jesus Christ found in Isaiah chapters 1–12.#WomenInTheOldTestament #LynneHiltonWilson #Isaiah #BookOfMormon #JesusChrist #OldTestament #Messiah #ScriptureStudy #IsaiahProphecies

"Stand Forever" Ep. 31 | The Truth—Was Joseph Smith A Prophet? Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Was Joseph Smith a prophet, or was he a lunatic or a fraud? There is no dispute regarding the facts of the life and work of Joseph Smith. There is no disagreement as to what he did. Only disagreement as to why and how he did what he did. How do you explain him? His critics say he was an impostor or deranged. Those are the options: he was a deceiver, or he was a lunatic, or he was what he said he was, a prophet of God. No one but a lunatic or a prophet endowed with the powers of heaven could endure what he endured, experience what he experienced and never waver regarding the ultimate successful outcome of his labors. Despite every setback and they were constant, despite every defeat, every obstacle, and every crushing blow of opposition, there is no hint he ever doubted the cause of Zion would triumph beyond anyone’s wildest imagination except his and God’s. He was not only a prophet but a seer who foresaw what no one else could have seen at the time—what we all now see in retrospect. The Lord warned, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Let’s look at the fruits of the life of Joseph Smith.

Proverbs: Focus on the Wisdom of Women I Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Wilson
What can Proverbs and Ecclesiastes teach us about the women of the Bible—and why does recognizing their voices, wisdom, strength, and influence matter?In this episode of Women in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, uncovering the many ways women appear throughout these fascinating books of wisdom literature. From Woman Wisdom and the warnings surrounding the “strange woman” to the powerful mother who counsels King Lemuel and the remarkable woman of valor in Proverbs 31, women are woven throughout the teachings and poetry of these ancient texts.Lynne invites us to look more carefully at the women in Scripture—not simply as background characters, but as teachers, mothers, leaders, examples, symbols of wisdom, and people whose experiences help us better understand the biblical world. Proverbs even personifies wisdom itself as a woman, while the closing poem celebrates a woman whose strength, intelligence, industry, compassion, and faithfulness are worthy of praise.Why are women sometimes overlooked when we read the Bible? What happens when we slow down and intentionally look for them? And what can these ancient women teach both women and men today?Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as she helps us rediscover the women of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes and reminds us why women's stories belong at the center of our study of Scripture.#LynneHiltonWilson #WomenInTheBible #OldTestament #Proverbs #Ecclesiastes #BibleStudy #WomenOfTheBible #Scripture #Proverbs31 #WomanOfValor

"Stand Forever" Ep. 30 | The Truth—Is Jesus Christ the Son of God? | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the World?Except for knowing there is a God who is Our Eternal Father, nothing is more critical to our journey in life than knowing Jesus is the Christ. And except for the evidence that reveals God Our Father, no truth of primary importance is more evident than the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ.Consider the reach of His influence. No one ever has had such a positive effect on more people than Jesus of Nazareth. No matter what sphere of human experience you consider, no matter what period you examine the influence of Jesus Christ looms larger and wholly overshadows all the combined influences of every other person and time combined.Knowing what has been prophesied from the beginning of time and that Jesus of Nazareth alone fulfills all that has been foretold, how can there be any doubt? To deny Christ in light of what has been written is to stand in the clear light of day and say the sun does not shine. In the end, we won’t be able to credibly say, “I didn’t know.”

"Stand Forever" Ep. 29 | The Truth—Is There A God Who Is Our Father? | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
Is there a God who is our Father? The answer to that question is simply, absolutely and unequivocally “yes” there is a God who is your father. The most compelling, life-transforming, and enduring evidence of God is the witness that comes from His Spirit. Having said that, reason plays its role as well. The Lord said, “And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me…” Look around and see how God manifests Himself to us, especially in our day, not only by the restoration, scriptures, and prophets, but also by all that has been revealed in this day of remarkable scientific achievement. Life on earth depends on a set of highly specialized and immensely complex combination of conditions. It involves complexity and precision that defy human comprehension in physics, astronomy, microbiology, biology, physiology, proportionality, consciousness, and cosmology. We see God every day if we have eyes to see Him. Just look around.

"Stand Forever" Ep. 28 | The Truth—Primary and Secondary Questions | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
How can you know the truth? How do you close the gap between your beliefs and the truth? How do you avoid deception? There are primary questions, and there are secondary questions. The primary truths and questions are the most important. Everything else is subordinate. There are very few primary questions. Here are four of them:1. Is there a God who is our Father?2. Is Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the World?3. Was (Is) Joseph Smith a prophet? 4. Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on the earth? The secondary questions are unending. They include questions about Church history, plural marriage, people of African descent and the priesthood, women and the priesthood, and so forth. In a world of uncertainty, you can be certain about the answers to the primary questions not as a matter of faith but knowledge grounded in experience, study, reason and revelation, and if you are settled, you can chart your course without wavering like a “wave of the sea driven with the wind” or “tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine and the sleight of men.”

"Stand Forever" Ep. 27 | The Truth—The Truth Shall Make You Free | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge
People at times criticize the Church, claiming it unreasonably restricts lifestyle and free choice. This point of view, while understandable, is truth turned upside-down. There is no freedom without choice and there is no choice without knowledge. Agency is expanded, not restricted by knowledge of truth. The greater the knowledge, the broader the agency and the greater the freedom. One cannot, for example, choose an eternal family, to be sealed to one’s spouse and children without the knowledge of sealing ordinances, priesthood, and the Restoration. One cannot choose to live the law of chastity without understanding the law and the consequences of obedience and disobedience. Many people do not understand and, therefore, they are not free to choose. The Lord reveals knowledge, line upon line, precept upon precept gently expanding agency commensurate with one’s capacity to understand and obey. Only by gaining knowledge are people “placed in a state to act according to their wills.” Otherwise, there is no decision to be made, no choice, no agency, no freedom—only the bondage of ignorance.
