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.

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
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.

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
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.
