 Okay, we are now live on YouTube awesome, so I've gone live on Instagram Facebook Twitter Now I'm on YouTube The reason I'm going live with the head to share something really cool that I learned about The Book of Mormon for those of you who don't know about the Book of Mormon. It's another Testament of Jesus Christ talks about God's dealing with prophets on the Americas and It is similar to the Bible It actually works together with the Bible. It doesn't contradict the Bible. It's not against the Bible. It doesn't replace the Bible It works together to confound false doctrine to establish peace and good stuff So I wanted to share something really cool. I'm assuming most of my audience are people who know what the Book of Mormon is Some of you might not if you don't send me a message. I would love to give you a free copy so you can learn more about it I had a thought maybe They say never to just show a book of Mormon, but to always share Something from it. So I will do that really quickly, but that's not the point of this video this point is to talk about a Linguistic proof of the validity of the Book of Mormon and its ties to its Hebrew ancestry But one scripture that I really love it's in Alma profanate Alma He's talking about a fliction and think of afflictions in your life and hard times you've had he says that We did pour out our souls and prayer to God that he would strengthen us and deliver us out of the hands of our enemies I don't know if you've ever been in a situation where you have been in The hands of your enemies or the hands of some hard thing Have you ever prayed to God that he would strengthen you and deliver you? I'm sure you have And this is a similar situation that Alma and his people were in In their case they wanted to be able to defend their lands and their cities from attacking armies But you can think of your home or your family or your relationships Yeah, reckless thanks for joining get on your bro. Only true church in the planet. Thanks. Thanks for joining and listening But he then says the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us Yeah, in so much that he did speak peace to our souls and a grant unto us great faith and It caused that we should hope for a deliverance in him. So one of the messages in the Book of Mormon cried to God for help in your hard times He'll give you faith and insurances and hope that he'll deliver you awesome stuff Okay, but the reason for this video again. So the Book of Mormon Joseph Smith he translated the Book of Mormon and he It was a record of Prophets on the American continent who came from Jerusalem. Okay, and so their ancestry were Hebrews and The Book of Mormon was written in a kind of a variation of Hebrew called performed Egyptian. It was Reformed because it was made smaller like the the It was a condensed version of right kind of like shorthand shorthand Hebrew I guess is what you'd say But there's a couple really cool things for people who claim that Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon and fabricated it What's really cool is there are a couple similarities Well, lots of similarities, but a couple will touch on today that I learned about so in the Book of Mormon and the Old Testament, okay? There's actually 337 proper names in the Book of Mormon and Neither in the Book of Mormon nor in the Old Testament are the letters Q X or W Used at all Okay So in no name in the Book of Mormon nor in the Old Testament is Q X or W used in any So there's no like Wesley there's no What other names would be Q X or W so there's not a ton of names with Q X or W even in English, but Nor do any of them begin with the letter F So there's no name in the Book of Mormon that starts with F There's no name in the Old Testament that starts with F So there's a consistency there and so that's just one of the other Um, yeah, you bet. It's just one of the cool similarities between What's found in the Book of Mormon and what's found in the Old Testament Joseph Smith would have had no Idea that basically those four letters are kind of off limits that he couldn't use and again 337 names he used While I'm on here, let me just share one other really cool thing It's fascinating so word plays are something that are Found in the Book of Mormon. So a word play Okay, so like the name Nephi It's been suggested the name Nephi comes from an Egyptian word, which means good or fair and Nephi himself repeated forms of the word good three times in his opening and closing remarks and then one of his descendants actually specifically named him after Nephi So that he would remember Nephi's goodness So a lot of times they would use these puns where they'd they'd say their name and then they'd tie the meaning to their name So Nephi name meant good or fair and his people actually referred to as fair The Nephites being a fair people Similarly with King Benjamin his name means Son of the right hand in Hebrew And he also they say a pun they used used a pun in his own name and prophesying that The righteous would sit on the right hand of God. So those are just really cool things called word plays There's an article. I'll post a link to it in the description Book of Mormon central did a whole video and a lot of these names in the Book of Mormon and some interesting things we can learn about similarities between the Book of Mormon and the Old Testament which again was Written in Hebrew. Anyway, just wanted to jump on having jumped on This YouTube channel live in a long time, but you guys have any questions Feel free if you're watching this later to put them in the comments And I'll be glad to respond to them But thanks for joining and again if you'd like a copy of the Book of Mormon Don't have one just send me a comment or an email. I'd love to send you on I know the Book of Mormon is the Word of God and I know that it testifies of Truths that are found in the Bible as well and they work together as Witnesses that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. Thanks guys. Bye
