Joseph Smith's 1843 Vision Most Latter-day Saints Have Never Heard

Joseph Smith's 1843 Vision Most Latter-day Saints Have Never Heard

In April 1843, Joseph Smith stood on the Nauvoo temple grounds and described a vision he had received: he had seen the resurrected dead take each other by the hand and embrace one another, reuniting families across the veil. Most Latter-day Saints know that handclasps carry sacred significance in temple worship — but very few know that this exact motif runs through the entire ancient world, from the Hebrew Bible to early Christianity to Byzantine art to Egyptian temple ritual. In this episode, Jasmin Rappleye, Neal Rappleye, and Stephen Smoot sit down with Spencer Kraus to discuss his paper "God Hath Shown Unto Me a Vision: The Sacred Handclasp and the Resurrection of the Dead," published in Temple Insights: Scholarship, Craftsmanship, and Fellowship (The Interpreter Foundation / Temple on Mount Zion Symposium). ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye Spencer Kraus, “‘God Hath Shown unto Me a Vision’: The Sacred Handclasp and the Resurrection of the Dead,” in The Temple: Seership, Craftsmanship, and Fellowship., ed.

Mesoamerica vs. The Heartland: The Book of Mormon Geography Debate

Where did the Book of Mormon actually take place? It's one of the most divisive internal debates among Latter-day Saints — and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Jasmin Rappleye, Neal Rappleye, and Stephen Smoot sit down with Brant Gardner — author of the six-volume Second Witness commentary on the Book of Mormon and one of the most widely published Book of Mormon scholars working today — to lay out the methodological, archaeological, anthropological, and textual case for Mesoamerica, and why the Heartland model doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

Abinadi Was Right | Stunning Evidence From Two Ancient Worlds

What is the "east wind" in the Book of Mormon? Why would it have struck terror into King Noah's people? On the surface, Abinadi's warning that the people would "reap the east wind which bringeth immediate destruction" (Mosiah 7:31) sounds almost forgettable. But this detail turns out to be one of the most quietly powerful pieces of evidence for the Book of Mormon's ancient origins. In this episode, Jasmin, Neal, and Stephen unpack a fascinating paper by BYU professor Kerry Hull titled "An East Wind: Old and New World Perspectives," published in the volume Abinadi: He Came Among Them in Disguise (Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University). The east wind in the Hebrew Bible is consistently used as an instrument of divine judgment — drying out crops, bringing locusts, parting seas, and famously blighting the wheat in Pharaoh's dream. It's a wind of destruction, even when biblical authors apply it to regions where the geographical direction wouldn't literally make sense. But the real surprise comes when you cross over to the New World. Among the Yucatec, Zeltal, and Zotzil Maya, "evil winds" were believed to be punishments sent by the gods, with the east wind singled out as especially destructive — the Zotzil and Zeltal literally calling it "fiery wind." John Sorensen documented a Zeltal prayer that almost mirrors Abinadi's prophecy: "let no hail come, let no wind come, let no locusts come." That's the exact constellation of calamities listed in Mosiah 12:6. The geography deepens the case. In highland Guatemala; where most Mesoamerican Book of Mormon models place the city of Lehi-Nephi — a hot northeast wind clashing with humid Pacific air actually produces hailstorms, and locusts naturally migrate down from the nearby Motagua River Valley. Jerry Grover has also connected Abinadi's prophecy to Mayan New Year rites, where year bearers were tied to specific cardinal directions and warnings of famine, locusts, war, and the violent death of a ruler were part of the ritual prophetic tradition. ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye Subscribe for more deep-dive Book of Mormon scholarship Read the full volume: Abinadi: He Came Among Them in Disguise at the BYU Religious Studies Center Sources discussed: * Kerry Hull, "An East Wind: Old and New World Perspectives" * John Sorensen, An Ancient American Setting for the Book of Mormon and Mormon's Codex * Jerry Grover, Evidence of the Nehor Religion in Mesoamerica * John W.

The Brazen Serpent: The Weirdest Symbol in the Bible — EXPLAINED

Why on earth would looking at a bronze snake on a pole heal someone bitten by a serpent? It's one of the strangest stories in the Old Testament and most readers move past it without a second thought. But ancient Near Eastern artifacts, Israelite seals, and details preserved in the Book of Mormon reveal that the Brazen Serpent (the Nehushtan of Numbers 21) was anything but arbitrary. It was the perfect symbol and Nephi knew exactly why. ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye In this episode, the Informed Saints crew break down Neal’s paper which covers: • The Hebrew behind "fiery serpents" (ha-nəḥāšîm ha-śərāphîm) and what seraph actually means • Bronze serpent wands from Egypt and figurines from Megiddo, Hazor, Shechem, Timnah, and Gezer — all associated with healing • The 13th–11th century BC tent shrine at Timna with a bronze serpent inside • The seraphim of Isaiah 6 as winged serpentine guardians of Yahweh's throne • Isaiah 14:29's "fiery flying serpent" as an ancient Jewish Messianic prophecy • Why Nephi adds "flying" to the serpents in 1 Nephi 17:41 • How the Hebrew word nēs (pole / ensign / battle standard) ties Numbers 21 to Isaiah's prophecies • Why this whole web of imagery points unmistakably to Jesus Christ Read Neal's full paper: https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/serpents-of-fire-and-brass-a-contextual-study-of-the-brazen-serpent-tradition-in-the-book-of-mormon [https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Finterpreterfoundation.org%2Fjournal%2Fserpents-of-fire-and-brass-a-contextual-study-of-the-brazen-serpent-tradition-in-the-book-of-mormon%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExZ2JxcEF5V3pBbjI2VFk0bXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR57hOqStIlj1z6NqswSrWzeX6h9GpyUM244YxAN7EiM9Zq6cJTQJ0OflQwNOA_aem_Xmol5Y6PCkWVqilEgL2mhQ&h=AUAtxHAaojh-X84eDz8wT__iT3TEEZpflAk5rFpUwwNN6IwTvy2ahW7aM-Tilvh2g46XE6yU_lSZWZSLpZygtyC4tY8Bh5qN03xUQhn8z7Lb3QGyUBZQk6SRFSYBaxdMVb9GnaNiN34] Scripture references * Numbers 21:4–9 * 2 Kings 18:4 (the Nehushtan) * Isaiah 6, 14:28–29, 11:12, 13:2 * 1 Nephi 17:41 * 2 Nephi 25:20 * Alma 33:19–22 * Helaman 8:13–15 Scholarly sources mentioned in the episode * James H.

Linguist Finds 1,650 Hebrew Words Hidden in Ancient American Languages

What if the strongest evidence for the Book of Mormon isn't archaeological but linguistic? In this episode of Informed Saints, Jasmin Rappleye, Neal Rappleye, and Stephen Smoot sit down with Brian Stubbs, a respected Uto-Aztecan linguist whose foundational comparative dictionary of the language family was praised as a "monumental contribution" by Kenneth Hill in the International Journal of American Linguistics. After decades of work, Stubbs has documented more than 1,650 cognate sets connecting Hebrew, Aramaic, and Egyptian to the Uto-Aztecan language family, which spans from the Utes in the north to the Aztecs in the south and includes more than thirty languages across western North America and Mexico. In this conversation, we cover: * What cognates are and why consistent sound correspondences are the gold standard for establishing a relationship between languages. * Why linguists generally require at least 10% overlap to establish relatedness, and how Stubbs' Semitic and Egyptian data accounts for roughly 60% of the cognates in his Uto-Aztecan dictionary. * Specific cognate examples, including barak/peroq (lightning), bat/pata (daughter), and saba/sipo (star). * How a single Aramaic dialect from northern Palestine matches Uto-Aztecan in a way that points to ancient northern Israel, the region of Manasseh and Ephraim. * The remarkable "lion to mountain lion" sound shift that directly addresses one of the most cited Book of Mormon anachronisms. * The two distinct sound correspondences in Uto-Aztecan (Semitic-P and Semitic-Kw) that suggest two related but distinct language groups merged into one population, an unexpected parallel to the Nephite-Mulekite merger described in the Book of Mormon. * Why language evidence is uniquely unfakable compared to inscriptions and physical artifacts. * Endorsements from David H. Kelley, John Robertson, Dirk Elsinga, Roger Westcott, and other prominent linguists. Brian Stubbs' latest research will appear in a forthcoming volume from the Religious Studies Center at Brigham Young University entitled "In the Eyes of the Ancient: Historical Perspectives on the Book of Mormon." ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye Further Readings: https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/exploring-semitic-and-egyptian-in-uto-aztecan-languages [https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/exploring-semitic-and-egyptian-in-uto-aztecan-languages] https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/an-american-indian-language-family-with-middle-eastern-loanwords-responding-to-a-recent-critique [https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/an-american-indian-language-family-with-middle-eastern-loanwords-responding-to-a-recent-critique] https://byustudies.byu.edu/article/exploring-the-explanatory-power-of-semitic-and-egyptian-in-uto-aztecan [https://byustudies.byu.edu/article/exploring-the-explanatory-power-of-semitic-and-egyptian-in-uto-aztecan] https://www.velikovsky.info/roger-w-wescott/ [https://www.velikovsky.info/roger-w-wescott/] https://interpreterfoundation.org/journal/answering-the-critics-in-44-rebuttal-points [https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Finterpreterfoundation.org%2Fjournal%2Fanswering-the-critics-in-44-rebuttal-points%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExSVdCT1RZUUZCcTg2TW01VXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6e886DULbfn9OtiSYjWcqfsAr3NrSbR_yam31vcpGMUTlpYL_GmOsGyGE4mg_aem_112JUr4TMbgD9xvvwcfYng&h=AT76WYOVwc_IJ5P-KDtL-DWyWKMWT1d1JcgOKcwZ258qsQ3WNt9UJipwW6Ygd35VCDiBVDFqCzhDE0U9YNsUt8840c-Cgk4Pvg1yKlDpLvANTtU97_UekAqjDWDTAgRNT_wnDcTU4Po] https://rsc.byu.edu/book/eyes-ancients [https://rsc.byu.edu/book/eyes-ancients?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExSVdCT1RZUUZCcTg2TW01VXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7ezhCGPrlLzrj7GbfUUqfd4RBMT6gbAHjXMdETrTK2dfIZQJwIGHDB4PE-jQ_aem_AQhNBtZIOIccOT7RQztc2A] Study deeply.
