We heard your suggestions! We will be getting a black board with white marker for up coming videos! God bless!

I watched the footage of Queen Elizabeth's coronation a few weeks ago and it blew me away. I was aware, conceptually, of many of the similarities, but watching her go through the actual physical motions was some of the best temple-adjacent imagery I've ever seen. What a humbling gift that we're not only saved from the effects of sin and death, but we've been invited into His Holy Priesthood to rule and reign in His Kingdom, by no merit of our own, but through the power of Jesus Christ and our faith to walk His way!

I am yet to find content from stick of Joseph that I don't enjoy and learn from. Great work!

[refreshingdesignsjewelry]

I love anything with Andrea Woodmansee!

[anne.self]

Andrea obviously really knows her stuff and there's loads to learn here! However i personally much prefer a panel discussion format and hearing multiple perspectives. The different contributions from different people build on each other and create the really rich discussions on this channel that i just love! Keep up the great work, you are changing so many lives, including mine.

Prayers for your protection the Stick of Joseph’s brothers. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your example!!

[Graham-mvzo]

Hey there guys. I’m from the uk. I love watching your podcast. I understand your on Deployment at present. I know how that goes I’m ex Forces myself. Keep up the good work and keep safe and smiling. God bless :) from the uk. X

The interaction with hosts is naturally better than a whiteboard presentation but wonderful under the circumstances. Stay safe boys.

[juliadrodgers]

I had an "ah-hah!" 5 minutes into the presentation when she was saying some people think the temple's purpose was sacraficing animals so we don't need it any longer.
The purpose of the animal sacrafices was to point them to Christ as the sacraficial lamb, so they would recognize Jesus Christ when he came.
The purpose of our temples is to point us to Jesus Christ so we'll be personally ready when he comes back.
To the ancient and modern purposes are the same. To point us to Christ.
Cool.

I absolutely love what i am learning! Keep it coming! Andrea is amazing because she can talk deep doctrine and yet it is so understandable!

[Lbrack]

Thank you so much.... I love learning about this. My prayers are with the stick of Joseph and their families.

[julieelliott]

I really love the connection between ancient and modern covenants. Alonzo Gaskill wrote a book called "Sacred Symbols" that documents the temple ritual after the resurrection of Jesus. These rituals exist in current Orthodox churches. Thanks Andrea, I'm learning tons from you!

[RosaBrandDesigns]

WOW. Incredible! Her thorough description and explanation was illuminating. I loved this!!!

[roburry]

Being able to operate just a few, let alone hundreds of temples is a testament to the truthfulness of the gospel. Just the Draper Temple requires the donation of tens-of-millions of dollars of labor-in-kind every year to operate. This doesn’t include initial capital costs and hard operating costs. Name one Protestant organization that could operate even 10 or 20 temples…

Why are so many willing to consecrate their time to do this? Because we love Jesus Christ, and we love our fellow brothers and sisters.

[jareleworkman]

Loved this episode. I would make a suggestion to use a darker colored marker. The light blue was hard to read

[timtanner]

I loved the Whiteboard presentation idea! Kinda nice to change things up a little bit once in a while! And Andrea does such an awesome job! I always learn new things when she’s on! Prayers and blessings during deployment, brothers!

[josephnebeker]

If you continue to use the format of the whiteboard, please make sure your guests use markers with dark ink so we can actually see what they are writing. They should mostly only be using a brand new marker with dark black ink.

As a note: According to apocrypha writings, Abraham lived during the time of the tower of Babel and fought Nimrod. Nimrod actually tried to kill Abraham but God saved him.

Thank you for a great teaching, very helpful!

[kaesundberg]

I really enjoyed Andrea's presentation! I love the echoes from ancient civilizations❤

[josephnebeker]

I love that she pointed out that the tower of babble was intended as a temple to their false gods. However, because of much research and praying I have done, I am convinced that they were actually building the tower in order to reach something tangible. In the books of Jasper and Jubilees, and at least one other source, we are told that there are three camps of people with specific goals for building that tower.
If I remember correctly, one was to place their gods in heaven, another was to depose God while placing their gods in heaven, and the other, headed by Nimrod, was to kill God and take over heaven.
Remember also that they went searching for a place to build the tower.
I believe it is at least a strong possibility that they were building the tower to reach the city of Enoch suspended in the sky, In which city was the throne of God.
I have a lot more information that can support this hypothesis, but I don't have time or space to type it here.
Again, this is only a hypothesis.
