He was a well-known radio broadcaster in Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Chicago and New York, as well as an international newscaster for the “Voice of Israel.” In 1974, he returned to Israel with his wife, Marilyn, and their three children. Their family has grown to five children. Like all Israelis, his sons and daughters served in the Israeli Military before their full-time missions. Brother Rona directs the nonprofit ENSIGN FOUNDATION which unites the people of Judah and Joseph in educational, cultural and scientific activities. The Ensign Foundation also provides learning experiences in the Holy Land. For twenty-seven years, Brother Rona has been the only LDS licensed tour guide in Israel. His background is unique: he is an American, an Israeli, a Mormon, and a Jew! Latter-day Saints, who have experienced ISRAEL REVEALED with Brother Rona, tell of greater enrichment in their lives through his spiritual and cultural insights. He harmonizes the language, the culture, the time and the places of the Holy Land, sharing the deep feelings and spirit of ancient and modern Israel. These are reflected in this Gospel Doctrine Supplemental Study Material along with a weekly printable summary sheets which he also provides every week on the Internet, www.HolyLandsRevealed.com . His book, ISRAEL REVEALED , is an authoritative work bringing the ethnic cultures and traditions of the Holy Land into a spiritual and pictographic review. He also produced a TV mini-series about Israel. These six TV-films are also on home-video cassettes. Brother Rona has served many years in the presidencies of the Israel District and Jerusalem Branches. v vi Contents Lesson Number and Title Page Helps for the Teacher ix 1 Introduction to the Doctrine and Covenants and Church History 1 2 “Behold, I Am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World” 3 3 “I Had Seen a Vision” 7 4 “Remember the New Covenant, Even the Book of Mormon” 10 5 “This is the Spirit of Revelation” 14 6 “I Will Tell You in Your Mind and in Your Heart, by the Holy Ghost” 19 7 “The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel” 23 8 The Restoration of the Priesthood 26 9 “The Only True and Living Church” 32 10 “This Is My Voice unto All” 36 11 “The Field Is White Already to Harvest” 41 12 “The Gathering of My People” 44 13 “This Generation Shall Have My Word through You” 52 14 The Law of Consecration 64 15 “Seek Ye Earnestly the Best Gifts” 68 16 “Thou Shalt .

For almost thirty years, he has been teaching the Old and New Testaments in tours, as many as thirty times a year. Additionally, for years, he has directed numerous tours to the LDS Church History locations as well as the Book of Mormon Lands of Central America. Following the Footprints of the Savior, he brings people to the bridge connecting the Ancient Holy Land to the Modern Promised Lands. He was born and lives in Israel. As an active LDS member and Church leader, Brother Rona combines his gospel knowledge, Israeli ethnicity and Jewish insights to assist in bringing the tribes of “Joseph” and “Judah” closer together. His background is unique in that he is an American , an Israeli , a Mormon and a Jew . Under each scripture listing is a summary to the chapters being discussed. These are from the LDS Scriptures and are provided only as an overview. It is important that the actual scriptures be read . The Holy Land and Jewish insights are added to help the teacher and student “go back” to the setting in which the scriptures were given and also to better understand what general Judaic views are of those scriptures. Jewish views have varied with time and dispersion, yet understanding the Jews (basically Judah) will help Joseph in the prophetic mission of reuniting “Joseph and Judah.” That will bring us both back to the original understanding and truths that God gave to his children, yesterday and today as well as tomorrow. In reading quotes from Jewish authors, it is helpful to keep in mind that the Jewish calendar differs from the Gregorian calendar used today. Not only can the number of months in a year differ, but also the days in a month: the Jewish or Biblical months only have twenty-eight days. The number of the year also differs; the Jews calculate from creation, whereas Christians calculate from Jesus’ birth. B.C. stands for Before Christ and A.D. for Anno Domini , the Year of our Lord. Jews have made a “scholastic adjustment” in referring to the Christian calendar by using B.C.E. for Before Common ( or Christian) Era , and C.E. for Common ( or Christian) Era , respectively. Helps for the Teacher and Student The young prophet Nephi gave us a substantial key to understanding the scriptures. Note how subtly he teaches us through a ‘chiasmus’ (an order of words listed in one direction to a center thought and then listed in the other direction in reverse order). I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the 1. learning of my father learning of my father ; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, 2. highly favored of the Lord having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the 2. knowledge of the goodness and the goodness and the mysteries of God , therefore I mysteries of God make a record of my proceedings in my days.

  • Premortal Spirits: Implications for Cloning, Abortion, Evolution, and Extinction
    Premortal Spirits: Implications for Cloning, Abortion, Evolution, and Extinction Kent C. Condie /~\ny organism (animal or plant) living on Earth today or any organism that lived on Earth in the geologic past is largely the product of its genes, which in turn are inherited from two parents—or, in the case of asexual re- production, one parent. No other parents can produce this organism. Hence, if each organism is patterned precisely after a spiritual precursor, as we are commonly led to believe by some interpretations of Moses 3:5, only one set of parents can produce this organism in the temporal world. Car- ried further, this scenario means that all of our spouses and children are predestined from the spirit world and that we really have not exercised free agency in selecting a mate or in having children in this life. It also means that each plant and animal that has ever lived on Earth was predestined to come from one or two specific parents. This would also seem to require that events in Earth history are predestined, because specific events are necessary to bring predestined individuals into contact with each other in the right time frame. But how can a predestined or deterministic temporal world be consis- tent with traditional LDS belief in free agency? From the very onset of the restoration of the LDS Church, Joseph Smith taught that God "did not elect or predestinate." As Bruce R. McConkie states, "Predestination is the false doctrine that from all eternity God has ordered whatever comes to pass." Determinism advocates that all earthly events are controlled by prior events (usually in the premortal existence), but not necessarily by God.

  • Old Testament: Gospel Doctrine Teacher\222S Manual
    “Thou Wast Chosen Lesson Before Thou Wast Born ” 2 Abraham 3; Moses 4:1–4 Purpose To help class members understand the doctrine of foreordination and their own responsibility to help build up the kingdom of God and bring souls to Christ. Preparation 1. Prayerfully study the following scriptures from the Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants: a. Abraham 3:11 –12, 22 –23; Doctrine and Covenants 138:53 –57. Abraham talks with the Lord face to face and learns that in the premortal life many “noble and great ” spirits were foreordained to their mortal missions (Abraham 3:11 –12, 22 –23). President Joseph F. Smith learns more about the “noble and great ones ” in a vision of the Savior ’s visit to the spirit world before His Resurrection (D&C 138:53 –57). b. Abraham 3:24 –28; Moses 4:1 –4. Abraham and Moses are shown in vision that Jesus Christ was chosen in the Council in Heaven to be our Savior and that we chose to follow him. They are also shown that Lucifer (Satan) and the spirits who followed him were cast out of heaven. 2. Additional reading: Isaiah 14:12 –15; Revelation 12:7 –9; Alma 13:3 –5; Doc- trine and Covenants 29:36 –39; and the rest of Abraham 3 and Doctrine and Covenants 138. Suggested Lesson Development Attention Activity You may want to use one of the following activities (or one of your own) to begin the lesson. Select the activity that would be most appropriate for the class.

    Episode 30 Mormon Identities PRE-MORTAL LIFE, PART 1 [START MUSIC] INTRODUCTION: Welcome to Mormon Identity, a thirty-minute talk radio program that addresses Church topics important to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our host is Robert L. Millet, professor of Religious Education at Brigham Young University. [END MUSIC] ROBERT MILLET (HOST): We welcome you once again to this edition of Mormon Identity. I‟m Bob Millet from Brigham Young University. I‟m joined today by my friend and colleague Brent Top, who is the chair of the Department of Church History and Doctrine at Brigham Young University. Welcome, Brent. BRENT TOP: Thank you, Bob. ROBERT MILLET: We want to talk today really in two segments. First and the second segments, both dealing with the subject of our first estate, the pre-mortal existence, our pre-mortal life. Brent, when we think about some things that appeal to people about Mormonism, it seems to me that, that this portion of our doctrine, namely the doctrine that talks about the eternal nature of man, is particularly appealing. Have, have, have you found that to be the case? BRENT TOP: Well, I‟ve had lots of experiences with that. I remember many years ago taking some of our neighbors and friends when we lived in the Washington D.C. area, northern Virginia. Took them at Christmas time to the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors‟ Center and to see the Christmas lights around the temple. And while we were there, we were, we took them in to see Man‟s Search for Happiness, that was very prominent at that time, and was being shown in all of the visitors‟ centers.
