The power of the priesthood that exists within the covenantal relationship of the Patriarchal Order is not well understood. This episode discusses the doctrine of the Patriarchal Order, the importance and relevance of the priesthood within that sacred order, and the power we develop as we expand that order to include our ancestors. The Gathering of Israel is all about recovering those familial relationships that we once knew and held sacred within the walls of our Heavenly Home. Repeating the familial patterns and practicing the laws of the Patriarchal Priesthood we literally bring heaven closer to us as we strive to live as our Heavenly Parents. The veil thins as we become the righteous posterity that was promised to Adam and Eve, thus fulfilling the prophecies given to our first parents.
