TURNING A REVELATORY EXPERIENCE INTO A TEMPLE OPPORTUNITY

In the Gathering of Israel, revelatory experiences can be quite commonplace. Some experiences are straightforward, others leaving you wondering what they were all about. Through revelation from the Holy Ghost, impressions, dreams, pressing upon one's mind, and other distinct ways can lead you to someone who needs help on the other side of the veil. The next step is navigating FamilySearch so that you can find your ancestors who need help. This episode shows you how to turn a revelatory experience about a needful ancestor into a temple opportunity that will eternally change your life and that of your ancestor's.

CHLOE'S PARTING OF THE VEIL EXPERIENCES

In studying D&C 128:18, it says, " ...things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times." In this episode, Chloe Chambers, a young single adult, explains the revelatory process of seeking to find ancestors that need help. She details how she received these answers through several thinning of the veil experiences. Truly in this last dispensation our children and grand children will receive knowledge that will allow the work of the Gathering of Israel to hasten in unprecedented, miraculous ways!YouTube "Chloe's Parting of the Veil Experiences" Video: https://youtu.be/jykHmW5kslAWebsite: Thinning of the Veil: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com/Venmo:  https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USBook: "Patterns of Revelation":  https://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Revelation-Spiritual-Foundations-Hearing-ebook/dp/B0BWGLZ8VXEmail: tia@thinningoftheveil.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinning.of.the.veil/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinning.of.the.veilSupport the show

THE REVELATORY PATTERN OF SALVATION: D&C 128

Under extreme duress, Joseph Smith received a revelation that would change the trajectory of all persons on both sides of the veil. In this episode the patterns of the thinning of the veil and principles related to the hastening of the work in D&C 128,  are discussed at length. The prophet testifies about the power and role of young people in the final dispensation. The glories and manifestations that as a church we will experience because of these mighty sons and daughters of God is truly remarkable. Their zeal and foreordained destiny to change the world is literally being played out in front of our eyes and the glories of eternities can and will be revealed through their revelatory experiences. D&C 128 is a psalm to all those who are diligent in their callings to be Saviors on Mount Zion.

ANGELS, CHARIOTS & THE LORD OF HOSTS: Donald W. Parry, BYU Speech, 2012

Donald W. Parry is a BYU professor who studies and teaches, the Hebrew Bible. This particular speech was given on July 31, 2012. In this talk, he quite extensively talks about angels by looking at the patterns through out the ages of heavenly messengers visiting the earth. Elder Parry, teaches that angels have always been involved in helping those living in mortality to accomplish the work of the Savior, Jesus Christ. While it is true that much is not known about these heavenly beings, the Lord has revealed quite a lot of doctrine surrounding this help from heaven. This BYU speech teaches the patterns that we all can be looking for when it comes to experiencing angels in our own lives. We just need to have eyes to see and ears to hear.

HAROLD B. LEE BLESSED BY AN ANGEL: "Stand Ye in Holy Places:, Apr. 1973

In General Conference 1973, President Harold B. Lee gave a talk titled, "Stand Ye in Holy Places". He  begins by teaching the importance of service in the Lord's Kingdom. The commands to comfort those that stand in need of comfort, to bear one another's burdens, and come into the fold of God. He encourages, "The great call has come now in the sermons of the brethren to aid those who are in need of aid, not just temporal aid, but spiritual aid...Who of us, in whatever station we may have been in, have not needed strengthening?" President Lee then relates a singular transcendent experience that happened when he was serving the Lord and needed help, that he did not even know he needed. An angel from the other side of the veil came to his rescue, allowing President Lee to continue on in the Lord's work. Heaven is so very real, and angels are sent to minister to us, as we minister to others. YouTube "Harold B.

COKEVILLE SURVIVORS SPEAK: Conversation with Jeromy Jamison and Brad Nate

On May 16, 1986, in Cokeville, Wyoming, an unimaginable tragedy happened. A school of elementary aged children was taken over by two deranged individuals, David and Doris Young. They brought with them numerous weapons, including a gasoline bomb. Their intent was to get rich by holding hostages and requiring a ransom. After they rounded up everyone in the school into one small classroom, their plan started to unwind, eventually leading to the bomb exploding in the classroom. The only people who died from that explosion where David and Doris Young. While others had some injuries not one of the children or adults died. How did this happen? Heaven was in the room that day. Each survivor has their own testimony of the veil being thin, and on this episode, two of the survivors, Jeromy Jamison and Brad Nate, recount their miraculous interventions. Truly they were being watched over from the other side of the veil. Jarica Jamison, Jeromy's daughter, preforms a song titled "Miracle", in honor of those who survived and continue to choose living as the Savior would have them live. All who have overcome trauma and continue to choose Jesus Christ are truly Miracles in every sense of the word and heaven is cheering them on in their work still to do.  YouTube: Cokeville Survivors Speak Video: https://youtu.be/8ZpmaBfwAj8The Cokeville Miracle Movie: https://youtu.be/pc6_QGO5me0?si=Srxiq_T4-7Mw778UJarica Jamison Media Links: https://linktr.ee/jaricajamisonYouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQ  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Website: Thinning of the Veil: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com/Venmo:  https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USBook: "Patterns of Revelation":  https://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Revelation-Spiritual-Foundations-Hearing-ebook/dp/B0BWGLZ8VXEmail: tia@thinningoftheveil.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinning.of.the.veil/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinning.of.the.veilSupport the show

THE BROTHER OF JARED AT THE VEIL: M. Catherine Thomas, 1993

M. Catherine Thomas is a scholar of the gospel of Jesus Christ and who taught at BYU in the Ancient Scripture Department. She has authored numerous articles and books. This episode is a reading of her article called "The Brother of Jared at the Veil", which was included at a BYU Symposium. Catherine describes in detail the relationship between our own journey within the temple endowment and the Brother of Jared's own journey through the wilderness and eventually coming to his own temple mount. Every detail of the Brother of Jared's experience relates to the ordinances, covenants, and symbolism in our own endowment process, and she teaches that every invitation extended to the Brother of Jared is also extended to us in the holy temples.

THE BROHTER OF JARED'S SACRED TEMPLE EXPERIENCE

The Book of Mormon was written for our day and within that holy text is written a most sacred endowment experience. The Brother of Jared's remarkable journey takes him through the wilderness, eventually arriving at Mount Shelem. During his sacred experiences, the Brother of Jared learns about patterns of revelation and the importance of making covenants with the Savior. His journey truly details our own sacred journey to the veil in our modern day temples, our holy mountains. This episode details the similarities and patterns between the Brother of Jared's temple experience and our own modern day temple worship. This holy prophet of God was a Gatherer in every sense of the word and like Gatherer's in any dispensation was gifted spiritual gifts and transcendent revelatory experiences. By studying his experiences and patterns, we can readily see that we stand to receive the same gifts and revelatory experiences in our own endowment process. The Savior beckons to all who will seek, to meet Him at the veil.
