Meridian Magazine--Come Follow Me Latter-day Saint Podcast

Special guest Ketty Muhlestein shares how Deuteronomy is Moses summarizing the covenant and the process that Israel has gotten through to be a covenant people and what the covenant is and what they need to do about it. This is really important for them. But it’s equally important for us as a covenant people, who are trying to embark on building a Zion society.

In this episode, we study Numbers 11–14, 20–24, and 27 and explore one of the most exciting discoveries in Israel: the Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6:24–26. Unearthed in 1979 in the Valley of Hinnom, this 2,800-year-old silver scroll is the oldest known scriptural text, preserving the words we know so well—“The Lord bless thee and keep thee…”—and connecting us to history in a tangible, unforgettable way. Plus, we’re joined by special guest John Hilton III to dive deeper into this sacred treasure.

In a world that is steadily growing darker and more tumultuous. The Lord’s voice speaks to the tumult and says in Leviticus chapter 19 verse two, “Ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.” That’s quite a commandment for his Children in a fallen world. But we know that the Lord knows how to do His work and he wants His people to be holy.

Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast. We're thrilled to be with you again this week as we discuss Exodus chapters 19 -20, 24, and 31-34, a very important and wonderful part of the Old Testament. This week, we welcome another special guest that we think you'll be very excited to have join us. Kerry Muhlestein is one of our favorites, because we love his books so much. He's written many, but we have favorites. We love, Let God Prevail, which is all about the covenant in the Old Testament and, of course, his prolific work on the Book of Abraham. He is an Egyptologist, a professor at BYU, but most of all, we are impressed with his passion to make what people consider the hard things of the Old Testament easier.

Welcome. We're Scot and Maurine Proctor, and this is Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast, where today we'll study Exodus chapters 14 through 18 at the miraculous moment in the history of the children of Israel, where the Lord parts the Red Sea, and they pass through on dry ground in an ultimate triumph for the Lord over Egypt. Now, we have with us today Jeffrey M. Bradshaw. He has a PhD in cognitive science, but is particularly known by Latter-day Saints for his detailed commentaries on the Old Testament, the Pearl of Great Price, and temple themes in scriptures.
