Link not working properly...
Yay!
@@bretnelson33 same. Not working for me either
@@bretnelson33 Try again, it should work now.
@@hungryjoebbq try agian, it should work now.
The intro of Andrea is just beautiful! I’m tired of hearing degree, degree, accomplishment, accomplishment. Mother of 5 and studies the gospel! AMEN
Same... love this
I loved hearing that too!
Hook and sinker. Couldn't agree more.
yeah that is the best. She is inspiring
Totally. The best reference ever! The best job of all!
Men are so equally important and gravely needed. They go to war not because they are indispensable but because God put a warrior in men to protect lands, truth, women, children and gospels. Life wouldn’t start without them nor be sustained.
I got chills reading this.
I love men. Their strength, their ability and steadiness. I just wish they could see all that they can be.
....to wield the sword of truth and justice.
@@janfelshaw8217They, and our sons, must be taught this.
Thank you for reminding us that MEN are also part of God’s Eternal Plan of Happiness!
I'm listening again, and many years ago as a 25 yo convert, when I went to the temple for the first time, I had a deep impression that the Temple ordinances were very ancient That feeling has stayed with me..This religion isn't new!
Dude... Does anybody else listen to the episodes of this channel and several times find themselves with their jaw dropped and their hands on the top of their head b/c of the depth and the connections made??
@@Chris27883 💯 they have had some really outstanding podcasts.
Totally! I wish I could like your comment 10 times. One of THE best channels out there.
Share it! I hope people share this channel with everyone.

this lesson is particularly amazing.
I LOVE THIS! Please have Andrea on again and do an extended version. I would watch 4 hours of this at a time. No joke. ❤
Yes yes yes!! Please have her on again to finish this!!
Amen!!!

Me too! I have listened to this podcast multiple times, so far, with many more times to come. (And shared with my family and friends) I love what and how Andrea teaches! I am starting a deeper dive into your podcast with her & could listen to hours of her knowledge. Keep it up. This podcast is amazing! Andrea, Mike & Dave are definitely my top favorites.
Don't forget she is a mother of five, she has other things to do.
All of this should be in a Temple Preparation book.
I haven’t taken a temple prep course for a long time. Maybe I should read through it again.
Right?? I’m a new member and just took a temple prep class. This was way more informative!
So us doing our family history and ordinances for our dead is like us sewing the cloth that will be tied around the hands at the wedding ceremony!
Beautiful!
They without us cannot be claimed/saved. We are linked to the Bridegroom. When He marries, He receives unto Himself ALL the bride’s family at that day!! 😅
Years ago, our Stake Pres had announced in every meeting for a month that everyone must be on time for Stk Conf. The High Counsel talked on spiritual preparation that month, and at 10am the doors to Stake Conference were locked. The whole of Stake Conference was on this parable, and one of the most spiritual I've attended.
There were many who were so angry - family who had saved "their row" and the family members who were locked out.
It was a very literal observation lesson, and painful for many, as I expect it will be for many, when that day comes.
💯 way to go Stake President! 😮 That's awesome 👍
The Beloved Bridegroom, by Donna Neilsen, is a good LDS book from the 1990s describing Hebrew wedding customs and how they symbolize our relationship to Christ as the bridegroom.
Really enjoyed her book!!
It’s a wonderful book
There is a book from Lynda Cherry named “The redemption of the bride”- God’s re-editing love for his covenant people. It is so enlightening and related to the subject.
Love Donna's book!
Donna ‘s book in so profound!
YES! Another wonderful WOMAN talking about deep doctrine. We need more LDS women speaking up with true deep doctrine, THANK YOU ANDREA! I cannot wait to finish this!!!

@@thestickofjoseph YES! She took the bait 😻
Ashley, yes! I love this and plan to watch again and take notes. If you loved this video, there's another that I found yesterday that also was excellent and so needed for our day. It's on the Joseph Smith Foundation channel and it was put out about a month ago. It was about saving rebellious youth. There are two parts. Make sure to watch the second part! 🤯 We're seeing some high quality work from women on CZcams, both in and out of the church. We need more! I wish I was talented in that regard! And P.S. have you ever watched the Women of Ward Radio? They are great, too!
What is "deep doctrine? "
@@Sound_The_War-Cry- I would explain deep doctrine as concepts that are not commonly or frequently addressed like in Church talks or General Conference, but are still true and valid. "Deep doctrine" may not be doctrine as much as symbolism. It would depend on the concept. Like Christ being the bridegroom of the Church (individual members) does not mean we are actually marrying Christ like a spouse. The Doctrine is that Christ is our Savior and the principle is that we enter into a covenant relationship with Him. In the Church when people give talks, it used to be from my perspective that men were asked more frequently to talk on doctrinal topics and women were asked to speak on "lighter" topics. Over the years I've seen a shift where women are considered just as doctrinally adept and capable of teaching doctrine and principles as men are.
In the Galilean wedding tradition, the husband could visit the bride but with an escort, usually the Father. Aka the First Vision, and would otherwise send messengers. The Father would also accept the House but when exactly the wedding takes place is still at the Father’s discretion. Kirtland the House was received, since then we had our winding up of assets and Oliver Granger was made a merchant in the Lord’s name and would redeem and honor Oliver’s sacrifice in his own due time, which seems to have been fulfilled at the purchase of the Kirtland Temple this year. D&C 117 for reference. Really good stuff
Your comment intrigues me, but I guess I will have to look up Oliver Granger to understand it.
Incredible! I felt the spirit so strong as I listened to Andrea share her discoveries. Andrea is my cousin and I can say that she is as wonderful in everyday life as she seems through the screen. A true disciple of Christ and example to me 💕
Tell her to start her own CZcams channel!
❤
Me too~🙏👑🕊️✨
I felt the light coming into my house as I began to watch this ❤
I have watched this 3 xs now. Attended the Temple Tuesday and my mind was blown away. Thank you so much for hosting this sister. Can I get her contact please.
You can tell what an experienced mother she is by the way she handles the hosts -- laughing at their dumb jokes and helping them along when they don't understand. LOVE her.
Something to add; short version. When groom proposed, he drank from cup of wine and presented to bride. IF she accepts, she drinks from same cup. If she rejects proposal she refuses to drink. Neither will drink wine until their wedding day. Also, Numbers 6 talks about Nazarite vow. One doesn't drink wine during vow. End vow with lamb sacrafice. Wedding symolizes relationship between Christ and Church. At last super, Christ when he offers the wine as part of sacrament, is playing part of groom and making marriage proposal. Apostles accepted marriage vow when they drank. Gives me new meaning when I take the sacrament. Each week we renew our marriage vow/covenant with Christ. After last super Christ vows not to taste of wine. This has 2 purposes. 1, He is invoking Nazarite Vow and will end it by offering himself as the lamb sacrifice. Second, he is playing out the role of the groom who vows not to drink until their wedding night. Know who else makes that vow? The bride (church). Name me one church outside of ours that as a covenant doesn't drink alcohol. We are playing out the role of the good Bride. Makes me look at WofW differently. That's the super condensed version.
How do we get the long version. Any references that you can point me to?
Mind blown!! Amazing add to an amazing episode! Thank you for sharing. I have often pondered the Lords prophecy to us that he will drink wine with us when he comes again from DC 26 and imagine Adam-ondi-ahman as the beginning of the wedding feast. It’s going to be amazing!!😍
This is SOOO FREAKING COOL !!!
Thank you for the insight!
Yes, I would also love to know where to find more of the long version of that beautiful insight. Thank you for sharing.
She needs to put this on paper and write a book
She learned all this from reading several books. I'd love to have the summary of all she learned from her research --what she's presented-- into a book. That would be awesome! I've enjoyed every bit that she has shared.
I totally agree.. Id buy it for sure. Wow..

There is no better channel for truth seekers than The Stick of Joseph. Thank you all for finding and living your calling. You’re helping the Lord change lives.
Better than ~cough cough~ Ward ~cough~ Radio~cough cough cough~
Thank you guys for introducing us to Andrea, and Andrea for your willingness to share the beautiful research you've done to connect many threads that the Spirit has been illuminating for me these past 6 years. I always put it to receiving my temple endowment on this day 8 years ago, the anniversary of my late daughter's first birthday. She lived for 5 1/2 days after her birth. The Spirit and I believe my daughter's spirit, led me to the temple. My husband is not a member of the church. I was waiting for him. When I entered the Holy Temple for the first time, I had a moment in the Bride's chambers as I looked at my reflection, where I felt an inner joy, that today I was marrying my Christ. I felt impressed to bear testimony to that sacred experience even though I had grown up in the church and never once heard anyone describe their temple experience that way. I remember wishing my husband was there so that we could be sealed together. I didn't know how to resolve the feeling that in his absence, Christ was taking care of me, as my Beloved Groom. And He has all these years been there for me. He was there in my darkest hour, mourning the impending death of my daughter. He anointed me with His peace in the dark night, and all I felt was warmth envelope me from the crown of head down to the tips of my toes as I knelt in prayer, weeping and pleading.
I have been seeking for confirmation that my obsession with Judaism was not looking beyond the mark. I felt the richness of the Jewish tradition become the beat of my heart. I was starting to turn away from these spiritual experiences thinking I was looking into it too much, even though it's transformed the way I study my scriptures. Like you I'm a Mum. My family ask me how I have time to study scripture while tending my kids and home. The truth is, time stopped existing for me when my daughter passed away. But my crisis opened my eyes and heart to Christ, to Temples, to the Restoration and I began my quest to trace the Restoration back to it's ancient origins. I have been fascinated by everything I've been learning. But nothing has been more breath taking than having the Spirit write the Jewish traditions on my heart. I haven't been able to find anyone in my circle willing to go down this rabbit hole with me, so I felt like the odd kid on the block, even my husband thinks I want to be a Jew. He's not entirely wrong but he's not entirely right either! I want to worship God and prepare myself appropriately because I have a daughter in heaven waiting and hoping that I'll make the necessary preparations to see her again. I'm making my spiritual wedding preparations and the Jewish feasts help me feel closer to Christ. I want to return back to that ancient wisdom because it's calling me. It brought me such joy to study/learn these things. I don't want to feel jaded by it, sometimes I do because I have noone to share them with. I feel when our Auckland temple is dedicated I will find the solace I'm seeking. It's been 7 years since my last visit. I've been pining for the temple ever since. You've helped clear up what my monthly fasts were mourning for. I have felt to mourn on my fast Sundays. I know the disciples didn't fast because Christ was with them. So I figured they and we must fast because He's not here. When we see Him we will feast again. Your added context of the wedding motif has helped to bring further clarity to these things.
I look at the changing seasons by the moon's and I understand why we're called a Gentile Church. Because we are not keeping God's appointed times and feasts. One day I believe we will. I feel it in me every time I look up at night and see the waning and waxing of the moon. My children and I have tried to observe them the last 6 years so that we could learn after the manner of the Jews.
The Bridegroom is coming.
The Sabbath is the Bride's day in Jewish custom isn't it? The women light the candles. Perhaps the "wise" women light the Sabbath candles/lamps?
Thank you for fanning my inner flicker again. I love your faith!
Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I didn't lose a child, but my daughter did and it was so traumatic, especially for her. Things that have brought solice, even in grief, are remembering all the blessings and miracles that happened, and continue to happen. Additionally it has been helpful to know that Joseph and Emma Smith lost babies, and some of the current Apostles lost some of their children too.
It doesn't take away the pain, but sometimes it helps, knowing that there are people out there who understand the pain of losing a baby. ❤❤❤ I wish you peace and to be filled with love and gratitude, even as you mourn and remember your little one. God bless.

When I was asked to be the gospel doctrine teacher I was able to see how we must have the past (Old Testament and Ancient traditions,) the present (New Testament what Christ teaches) and the future (restoration of all things, Articles of Faith) viewed together to understand more of the plan of salvation. Like our lives the past, present and future are all vital for understanding
@rutht2023 We are all connected. I learned through my Hebrew tutor (who is Jewish) that blessings come through the mothers, since life comes through her. Grandparents are connected to the pain of losing a grandchild too. I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved grandchild, may his/her memory be a blessing. Thank you for your words of comfort and faith. I could not have anticipated how the loss of my daughter, z"l, would drive me to seek answers to so many questions. The more I search, the more I understand how expansive truth is. Everything in my faith walk is so much more now than it ever was. The world is alive with testimony that we have a Creator! And that we must worship Him and acknowledge His hand in all things.
I never used to see it before. I always wondered how to have spiritual experiences growing up. Experiences like those I read in the Ensign or listened to in church or in General Conference. Now it's like I can't turn off the firehose.
May our hearts be comforted as we prepare for the coming of our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.
Much love to you Ruth (I love your name) and your family.
Thank you for writing about your obsession with Judaism and how the feasts help you feel connected to Christ!! I feel the same way! And I also feel this strong connection and interest in Judaism customs, feasts, rituals, etc. The meaning and symbolism behind them are so rich! It is fascinating to me! Like another brother said here, we need the old, current and future revelation and scripture to understand the WHOLE plan of salvation. I would love, as a church, to become more educated on the Jewish feast days and their symbolism. So, you aren’t alone, I’m also very interested in Judaism and have studied different aspects of it but have continued to yearn for more!! 😅
Who else has listened to this more than once!
✋🏻
I’ve got to listen to it again with paper and pen next time. This was so amazing!
GUYS. We need to get this woman together with Lynne Hilton Wilson on Scripture Central!!!!!!!!!🤯 This was absolutely ASTOUNDING!!!!!
I love Lynne Hilton Wilson! I agree!
What an amazing idea! 2 women I could listen to & learn from for hours!
I would also LOVE to see her do an episode with Barbara Morgan Gardner!❤️
I've been thinking this for years, our church is a restoration of the ancient church. Meaning what Adam believed and taught. It's beautiful.
Wait, do most members not realize this?
Wait till you realize that this has actually been lost and restored multiple times in history.
Same... yeah, I actually thought most of us thought this way...guess not??? What's the word or phrase used to describe the ancient religion and then all others trickling down from it...anyone??
@@cindlou7335 prisca theologia (ancient theology) basically the idea that all religions are degenerate forms of the true faith given to man by God at the beginning.
This is actually a central part of Islam as well as Mormonism, and while not exactly central to modern mainstream Christianity, it is there when you dig down.
I would expect that a similar belief is there in Judaism but then again the old testament is heavily focused around the law of Moses which is basically like "true theology 101" so I wouldn't be shocked if Judaism doesn't spend much time thinking about where other religions come from.
@@isaac_steinberg thank you
Proclamation on the Family!!! We are told our duties as husband and wife. I was listening to a channel where the person spoke about the Garden of Gethsemane. He brought up the image of Christ coming out of the Garden dressed in red from our sins and us coming out clean through Christ's Atonement. I so much love to spend time in the scriptures and seeing things with new eyes.
The fast represented by the year the bridegroom went away until the marriage, is mirrored in the year you must wait between baptism and temple attendance.
Is that still a requirement? I thought that was advanced.. it is for the deceased.
@@tiffanyseavy565 no idea. But it was. They change the rules as they go along.
Like everyone had said keep her coming back or tell her to begin her own CZcams channel! We need more women like her out there 😊
@@my2cworth4U you mean we gain more privileges as we go along
@@tiffanyseavy565 Privileges or penalties haha
To your question at the 11 minute mark, “Why did Joseph not tell us about this?”
Certainly that question has been asked many, many times about this and other subjects, and the conclusion that seems to be most common is that he didn’t know. Personally, I think there is so much more that he knew that was impossible to tell - his time was limited - and just as in Alma 8:1, there were “many things which cannot be written” - perhaps he was commanded not to tell, because the Lord instructed him to hold back, because the people were not ready for it, or perhaps it was given only to him and not to be shared, or possibly he was able to share some things with others with instructions that they were not to record it.
That’s a lot of speculation, I know. But, I need only listen to Elder Hollands talk in the most recent General Conference where he spoke of his experience in the hospital and said, “I cannot speak fully of that experience here…”, to know that the Prophets and Apostles are often instructed to not tell all they know. Why? I don’t know. We must each ask the Lord.
Similarly, my wife and I witnessed Elder David B Haight give a talk, “The Sacrament, and the Sacrifice,” October, 1989, where he spoke as an apparent intimate witness of the earthly life of Jesus Christ. In a personal encounter with him later, he told my wife, “I had to careful about what I said.”
Finally, read and watch Elder Bruce R McConkie’s final testimony in April 1985, “The Purifying Power of Gethsemane”, especially in context with the wonderful content you have shared with us recently from David Butler, and others, and likely from this video - which I have yet to fully consume.
In His infinite mercy, The Lord reveals truth “line upon line” as we are prepared to receive it, and not before. We must be careful not to place limits on the prophets of the past for what they did not say … and my wife just said, “…but as you read the words of the prophets present and past, listen, and the Spirit will whisper more truth between the words if you listen with a humble heart.”
P.S. this is not an admonishment to anyone but me. As we are sitting here watching and listening to this wonderful video, I’m feeling this as a personal admonition from the Spirit, and sharing it back. Thank you for diligent work to share with us this information (wisdom?). Truly, we are edified!
Mind absolutely blown. Thank you all for the enlightenment. The world's so much brighter now, and the building of Zion makes so much more sense. Zion is the bridegroom's home...
Ether 13:3 And that it was the place of the New Jerusalem, which should come down out of heaven, and the holy sanctuary of the Lord.
Christ has already built the holy sanctuary. It will come down from heaven.
Hmm

Learning after the manner of the Jews expands our understanding and knowledge of the gospel. Nephi was right.
This was so great. Layering with Dave, Mike and the Ancient Tradition Podcast = 🤯. I have never been this excited to dive deep into the scriptures. My love for Jesus grows daily. It’s all here for eyes to see and ears to hear. ❤ Well done Brothers and Sister.

Okay! Thank you for sharing The Ancient Tradition podcast!!! Such a mind-blowing discussion, for sure!!!
Check out the bright and morning star with Breck England podcast! It covers even more!
Amazing! So glad I saw this when it first popped up! Thought I’d share a few additional thoughts that tie into this.
1) my dad was a temple sealer, and I had the opportunity to go with my wife and him to the temple and do some sealings about a half year before he passed away. He pointed out to me how the word “cleave” has dual meaning. To separate, and to bind. Man shall leave his parents and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh. But also, a butcher’s knife, an axe, what have you, is used cleave an animal apart. Now consider where you would cleave a sacrifice, and then consider what is in the temple in the middle of the sealing rooms, and how that is used for both versions of the word “cleave”. He also pointed out several differences in wording during the covenant for the bridegroom vs the bride, pay attention next time you do sealings 🙂
2) they shall become one flesh. I never considered how this phrase could be applied to us and Christ. We are to become one with him, even as a bridegroom and a bride become one flesh. In terms of the consummation of marriage, we’re talking about a sacred act that brings life, bears fruit, etc. this makes the allegory of the olive trees and the Lord of the vineyard’s statement (paraphrasing) “what good is this tree if it brings forth no fruit” even richer in meaning. IOW - what good is your bond to me, if it doesn’t bring forth your eternal life, to live with me, and be in my presence forever? The purpose of our relationship and covenants with Christ (his work and his glory) is to bring to pass the immortality and Eternal life of man-to bear fruit, or to give life to his covenant people, to take away their reproach.
Love this symbolism! There is so much I feel like I’ve been learning lately that I never understood in the last 30+ years! Thanks for bringing on people who have learned and studied these things, so we can all learn with you! 🙂
That's reason why when aman and woman get married they create or make abody for the child out of the image of the father and become one flesh that's why every one has genealogy of their family and have the same DNA transmitted in us.thats why we are called father and mother because the body of the child belong to us.and the spirit belong to heaven father and mother because our spirit was created after their own spirit and likeness.thank you for the episode.
Amazing comment seriously! I learned a few things from it.

Faith explosion!!! So much more, so many more connections in all the scriptures. I loved it. And now I must read some scriptures and watch this one again.
I attended a wedding/sealing of a friend. The grooms mother was less active as were many other family members. My return missionary son was prompted to remain outside and stay with the grooms brother. It was such a testimony to me that while they may not understand the significance of personal worthiness to enter the temple, God knew they needed to be loved & taught.
This deserves more time. I'm going to have to relisten on my own

I get so giddy when I find other members talking about things I have discovered but had no one to share the discoveries with
Makes me so happy!!!
We are here . Just silently waiting and watching . You have found those that feel the Gospel and love it . ❤
Yes.😊 I think there are many. For me, it started with my diligently studying Isaiah. It's exciting! God wants all of His children to know Him & how He deals with, & has dealt with His children from the beginning. I'm so thankful!
Isn't it refreshing? I had a friend and we used to study all the time together. We were sharing our finds with a mutual friend when he said " You guys study was to much"..
@@mrschefyoda7825
No such thing as too much
😉
Agreed!!!! No one wants to study the gospel much less discuss it. I don't understand when this became taboo.
I love studying the gospel and yet I have soo soo much to learn.
I realized that the reason why all the temple symbolism needs to be maintained as hebrew-centric, with us having a hard time understanding the symbolism, is because the covenants were made with the house of Israel originally and that we are only adopted into it.
It's like the equivalent of moving into Japan and learning the customs. It would be inappropriate to force the people to adapt to our preferences.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been praying for a greater understanding of the temple and the purpose of the symbols, etc. you have truly opened my eyes!

*cough mini dig at Cardon cough cough 😂🤣
I love how she explains this! It was realization of this that motivated me to start sharing and do a channel. I can tell I only scratched the surface, thanks for sharing!
A couple months ago I was praying asking for help with researching the scriptures instead of just reading. I started reading and I was inspired to go down this rabbit hole of this topic. I’ve never been inspired like that before I terms of feasting on the scriptures. Yes, this is a very important topic.
YES!, im so glad you're listening to "The Ancient Tradition" I can not believe that it's a coincidence that at the same time I'm reading, "In the language of Adam" I am also learning some of the same principles from "Jack Logans" podcast.
This to me is evidence of another way the Lord is hastening His work. I can't help but shout! "The Lord is extending the Saints’ understanding"
🙌🏻
Yes!! The mysteries are being revealed!😍
I just made another connection. When a person gets baptized, they are making a promise, but they have to "wait a year" before going to the temple to receive their endowment. Just like the bride has to wait a year while the groom "goes to prepare a place for her"?
I listened to this yesterday and just got home from the temple today. I couldn't wait to listen to this again. I need to listen to this every time I go!

WOW !!!! This is soooooo sacred and spiritual. I feel like I was in the Temple receiving instruction about the deeper layers of how Christ should be my focus, because the things that I should be doing, would in fact bind myself to Him.
It's about preparing to be ready as in Father Alma, "for this life is a time to prepare to meet God" which is about "being loyal" to Christ our symbolic Bridegroom before He returns, at a time, that I know not.
I'm going to need to watch this at least 3 times or more to pick up the Gold nuggets herein.
God bless this good Sister and this Channel for inviting this Sister to enlighten our minds with much deeper understanding.
This has really given me things to value more, and things to set aside as "distractions" for the greater good of being loyal to my Master, by doing a better job than I'm currently doing. Na te Atua kaha rawa i whakamoemiti ki a koutou e ngaa anahera o Tane nui a rangi. ❤
What is the language and meaning of the last part of your post, please?

Thanks for talking about the fast in this vid. I’d never thought about it that way. Never heard of a Jerusalem window either. The restoration is fascinating. Trying to get us (the church) up to speed must be a ton of work.

Mind blown! Mic drop. Thank you Andrea for the 20 years you’ve put into gathering this information, and thank you for the gift of sharing it with us. Thank you Hayden and Jackson for publishing this video. ❤❤❤❤❤

I learned about this a few years ago. The wedding feast is all about the gospel.
Yes, me too! I hadn't tied it to the temple like she has though. Fantastic 👏 This is such a treasure of knowledge 😊 Grateful!
I feel like she has totally opened the scriptures to us.. And I was very aware of the Hebrew bridal imagery and its association with the work of the Lord in our behalf.. studied it for years.. but she has taken this to a whole new level.. Excellent presentation.

This is the best thing I've heard in a long time. I was humbled, my eyes were opened (and filled with tears) and my testimony was strengthened. Thank you, Andrea
Her beginning with her faith crisis that led to her amazing scripture search is mind blowing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Andrea!
This is what makes the difference! When people have a faith crisis- are they digging further to the scriptures or the internet ? ❤

Wonderful discussion! Love the symbolism and the confirmation that the Gospel truly has been restored!

You guys put out these videos that have SO much in them. I feel like I need a written summary of each one so that I can remember what was there and what to even ponder and study again!
Love your content you guys!
Glad you like them! Stay Curious and Hungry!

@@thestickofjoseph oh heck yeah!
Today has been a treasure trove! Between you and Ward Radio on this day, my mind is blown! I can't believe how much I've learned! And put me on the waiting list for the book!
This has been such a feast of love and light! Thank you so much! I will be rewatching and studying this in depth but the first time was delicious to my spirit💖✨

I love that this was posted on Joseph Smith's martyrdom anniversary. He died knowing and proclaiming truth.
As did his brother. Both great men.
This is the some of the most amazing instruction I have ever heard. 🎺 watch and listen.

@@thestickofjoseph done! thank you.
the metaphor of the Church as a Bride and the tradition of the Hebrew marriage ceremony and Jesus Christ, a Jew, The Messiah, The Bride Groom and His use of parables, the phrase "hidden in plain sight" comes to mind. This teaching is weaved through the Gospel in all the scriptures... listened to this again with my bride: she was as amazed as I was. I realized while observing her watch this presentation that I realized how my sacred covenant as a husband means more than I thought. Thank you.
Hey guys,
Really appreciate all you do seeking for truth and sharing your findings with us.
Please have Andrea on a 2nd or 3rd time!!
A book would be amazing! I would love it if you could ask Andrea for material all of us can go read and study in the meantime to further educate ourselves as she mentioned there is so much she wasnt able to touch on.

She needs a CZcams channel! That was an amazing commentary! I want more!!!
Same!!
Considering Christs first official miracle was at a wedding, turning water to wine… opens up all kinds of parallels 🤓
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have always puzzled over the imagery and symbolism of the bridegroom and marriage and how it somehow symbolizes Christ, but I never really comprehended it and all the connections throughout the scriptures until now. I need to listen to this several times with my scriptures in front of me. If Andrea has not written a book about this, she really should.

This was absolutely fabulous! I too love ancient symbolism and wish Andrea and I were neighbors or something and could go on walks and talk about this stuff! The parable of the prodigal son has wedding symbolism too. The father clothes his son with a robe, gives him a ring, throws a party. It’s symbolic of a covenant relationship involving grace, mercy, forgiveness, protection, loyalty, and submission, all parts of The Atonement. Just signed up to be notified of your book release!
This was amazing. Andrea was amazing. Those were amazing and profound insights she shared.

Ther is a podcast on the ancient religion of China. Pre AD. It was monotheistic worshiping the creater. This helped me realize that the Gosple of Noah, Abraham ect was all over the world . I would like to learn more. Thanks for this.
❤
This is one of the best guests you've hosted. Thank you so much. A lot of things are making a lot more sense!
Agree!
I am so amazingly stunned, in positive ways, just like the first talk with Mike Day!
I'm looking forward to Andrea's book ... she should do a series.
The first just lays out the Jewish wedding traditions. The next in the series can show how the scriptures and Christ reflect the wedding traditions, like she did in the podcast.
Maybe we should all offer to babysit her kids for her so she has time to write.
Thank you for having her on!

Bring her back! We need a part 2!
We are seeing so many things like this appearing. We are part of the continuing restoration!
I loved this so so much. Truly we need to understand the Jewish history and traditions to understand the meaning in our scriptures. Thank you for sharing Andrea!

Thank you Andrea and all! Bringing depth, light, and truth to the world through new voices and a new publishing company that we greatly need 😇🥰 Have her on more and with David and the team and yes books please!!!
Prayers for all the Saints to understand this wedding imagery 🙏 beautiful!
Man, this is amazing! I am so grateful for everything i learned from this. Its exactly everything i needed to hear at this time in my life…
My mind was blown so many times listening to this. Absolutely beautiful, thank you ❤️
Wow I have heard bits and pieces of this and have seen in the scriptures bits and pieces , but to have it laid out in such a beautiful and thoughtful manner Wow! Thank you Sister and SOJ Brothers , this is so inspiring, amazing and spiritual.
Thank you ❤

This is an absolute TREASURE! I feel like the mysteries of the kingdom are being revealed to us. I would love to be dear friends with Andrea. What a beautiful soul she is. I am so inspired by her and appreciate her clear sharing. I want to be her! I also appreciate her sharing how her faith trial led to this discovery. Way to persistently seek truth.
This all resonates so much- on every level. I stoped the video throughout and took 14 pages of notes!😆
The ancient wedding ritual also rings so true from my other studies as well. In the book about 3 generations of Chinese women “Wild Swans” the ancient grandmothers wedding ritual was just like the ancient Hebrew one described by Andrea with a processional by the bridegroom to come and get the bride and lift her up in a sedan to carry her back to the feast/ceremony. Even in the book “These Happy Golden Years” there is a beautiful description of Almanzo Wilder preparing a home for Laura Ingles for many months while she prepares the bed clothes and linens to adorn her new home for her love before he comes to get her for the wedding. These wedding traditions are everywhere. And then- the first miracle that Jesus performed- very deliberately by the wisdom of his Mother and when he first revealed his power- was at a wedding feast- where the best wine came at the end- symbolic of his greatest miracles to come at the end and blow our minds. I love our precious faithful bridegroom so much! Someone above said it best- the universe’s most eloquent poet.
Please have Andrea back to expound more about the wisdom goddess and the beautiful symbols there.
Thank you for all you are doing.
Magnificent! To Andrea, thank you for sharing your life’s work with us. For the longest time I have been trying to research Jewish traditions and culture to better understand scriptures. I’ve come across Rhonda and Farrell Pickerings site and although they know their stuff, they’re at levels well beyond what I can comprehend. You’ve laid this out so well and clear. I truly hope and wish that you will return, or start your own channel that we can learn more about Jewish traditions and cultures that help us relate to scripture, and bring it back to life. Thank you thank you thank you! Best video on CZcams!!!
@thestickofjoseph, please don’t forget to post her notes as you promised!!

Another awesome podcast, thanks guys. Andrea offers some great insights. My wife and I met in the Swiss Temple and had a powerful experience in the sealing room. Four months later we were sealed. We are now both Termple workers once. week in the Preston, England Temple.
I love hearing that couples meet in the temple. There couldn’t be a better place to meet your eternal companion. I’ve heard this a few times in my life. I met my wife at the mall.
This was so wonderful!! I was weeping like the whole time, feeling such a testament of the love of God. Thank you! Can't wait for that book...
This video taught me so much, proving you’re never too old to learn. I’m excited to watch again and again and study the coinciding scriptures.
You guys have become my favorite Gospel channel. Thank you for all you do! You find REMARKABLE guests.

Wow! I need to go read the scriptures again, too! There's so much beautiful, deeply meaningful symbolism in there I never knew about! Thank you to Andrea, Dave, and Mark, and of course, you brothers for all the knowledge and inspiration you've shared!
That was a PHENOMENAL episode! Love using the family and marriage lense of reading the scriptures! So enlightening!
Woah!
This was so good and made so many connections. This will enlighten my understanding forever to come.

@@thestickofjoseph thanks
Fantastic news!
Yes, by all means, Andrea you need to write a book. Also, if you became a wedding planner that follows many ,if not all, of these original customs to educate us. It just might start a cool movement that creates more LDS weddings too. Good luck!!!

This was so good! I had learned much of this years ago in my searching and learning, my cousin actually tried to make her wedding similar to these customs, minus the year of not seeing each other and the a few other things:) really great episode I’m going to pull out my research and now join it with the Book of Mormon so many things Andrea shared were aha moments with the Temple. I was not a member during my research.
Thanks again for all the great guests and information shared, it is truly a blessing!
This has so much to it. I'd love to see Andrea, Dave and Latter-day Media together in one room talking about marriage symbolism, temple texts and Moed'im
I loved this. What a blessing to be her child and grow with wisdom and understanding. Thank you!

One of the most amazing and informative podcasts I’ve ever listened to. I’m on my third listen lol
Sorry, where did you drop her notes that she’s using during the podcast? How can I find them?
I feel like I need to start my scripture study all over again. Amazing! Jaw is on the floor!
