S2 E36 (Sept 14-20) “Arise and Come Forth unto Me”

-



Fires, tornadoes, and floods...OH MY! This week the Nephites experience the calamities that occurred on the Earth after Christ was crucified. After going through some of my own struggles, I realized that the destruction could be a good metaphor for some of the stuff we face in this life. And that made me think of ART! Specifically one of my favorite sculptors, Auguste Rodin and one of my favorite painters, Robyn from Art By Geek Girl! Rodin was unavailable (he died in 1917), but Robyn was willing to be an interviewee for this week's episode. We talk about the contrast between light and dark in art and in life and how Christ truly is the Light of the World.

You can find Robyn's artwork at https://www.artbygeekgirl.com/ , https://www.facebook.com/Artbygeekgirl/, or https://www.instagram.com/geekgirlph/

Also the painting she talks about in this episode (I Know That My Redeemer Lives) is the cover art for this episode!


This week I talk a bit about the artist Auguste Rodin. You can see some of his work at http://www.rodinmuseum.org/collections.html

I talked a little bit about Bernini too: https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/bernini-sculpture

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Listen to Episode 5, Part B here. I loved Episode 5 SO MUCH, but I just couldn't go on without talking about John the Baptist, Jesus' Baptism, the Pharisees, and Vipers.  So here it is- a rushed rundown of Christ's baptism and an outtake from the original Episode 5 wherein I describe the various sects of Ancient Israel and fun with snakes. (Photo "Joy" from Reflections of Christ https://reflectionsofchrist.myshopify.com/ ) John the Baptist, Bible Dictionary: Son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, being of priestly descent through both parents. This lineage was essential, since John was the embodiment of the law of Moses, designed to prepare the way for the Messiah and make ready a people to receive Him. He was the outstanding bearer of the Aaronic Priesthood in all history and was entrusted with its most noble mission.
