    Daniel: Choosing God's Kingdom Over Ours | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson

    In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines: Women in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the book of Daniel, a remarkable account of faith, prophecy, and survival. As Jerusalem falls and terrible judgments come upon the people of Israel, Daniel and his companions must remain faithful to God while navigating the dangerous world of the Babylonian court. First there is the lion's den, then Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dream of a great statue destroyed by a stone cut out of a mountain without hands and finally the mysterious handwriting on the wall that announces the downfall of a king. Daniel reveals God’s power over earthly kingdoms and His continuing purposes for His covenant people.But what can we learn about the women who lived and wielded influence in the Babylonian court? Although women are less prominent in Daniel’s narrative than in many other Old Testament books, royal women held positions of influence in the ancient Near Eastern world, and the book invites us to consider the roles women played in the courts and cultures surrounding Israel’s exile. Lynne examines the historical setting of Daniel’s visions and experiences, the powerful figures who shaped this era, and the lessons of courage, wisdom, and faithfulness that emerge from these extraordinary events. Join us as we discover how the book of Daniel points beyond earthly rulers and empires to the everlasting kingdom of God—and strengthens our faith in Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah.#HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #BookOfDaniel #WomenInScripture #WomenOfTheOldTestament #OldTestament #BibleStudy #BabylonianExile #DanielInTheLionsDen #ScriptureCentral #ComeFollowMe #JesusChrist

    "Stand Forever" Ep. 39 | Follow Christ to the End – A Matter of Will | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge

    Why will not all join the Church and faithfully live the gospel during the Millennium? And what about on the other side of the veil? Won’t everyone get on board there? Why do people fall away today? Why do we not do all we believe today? Why do we sin knowing better? In the end, it is a matter of will—not faith, not belief, not even knowledge, all of which are essential, but in the end it’s a matter of will. Lucifer and one-third of the hosts of heaven rejected God Our Father while in His presence! How does that happen? They were not ill-informed, rather unwilling to embrace Heavenly Father’s plan. It is this stubborn unwillingness to follow the Lord in blind disregard of daily signs and wonders that show the more excellent way, that causes even God to repeatedly ask, “What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?”The answer, of course, is nothing. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Even God cannot save us from ourselves. Even the Lord Jesus Christ cannot save us against our will. For it is given to us to choose. We must not only know and believe the truth but marshal the will to live it.What are you willing to do, willing to sacrifice, willing to give, willing to suffer, willing to bear? What price are you willing to pay? Transcript/Notes: https://storage.googleapis.com/scripturecentral-prod-strapi-uploads/Episode_39_Final_PDF_d3b7ed08a1/Episode_39_Final_PDF_d3b7ed08a1.pdf

    Ezekiel: The Babylonian Exile of Israel | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines

    In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines: Women in the Old Testament, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the book of Ezekiel and its powerful prophetic messages, symbolic actions, and striking portrayals of women. Called to serve as a prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel delivers difficult messages to the people of Judah, warning of Jerusalem’s destruction while offering hope for Israel’s eventual restoration. His unusual prophetic assignments—including lying on his left side for 390 days and his right side for 40 days—dramatically illustrate the consequences of Israel’s and Judah’s sins. What can these symbolic acts teach us about covenant responsibility, judgment, and the Lord’s enduring desire to bring His people back to Him?Ezekiel also uses the image of a woman to portray Jerusalem and the covenant relationship between the Lord and His people. Through vivid and sometimes unsettling imagery, he describes Jerusalem as an unfaithful woman, exposing the spiritual betrayal, idolatry, and broken covenants that contributed to the city’s downfall. Lynne examines how women appear throughout these prophetic messages and how their experiences and symbolic roles illuminate the book’s larger themes of faithfulness, accountability, loss, and renewal. From Ezekiel’s warnings of destruction to his visions of restoration and new life, discover how this challenging Old Testament book invites us to reflect on our own covenants with God and the hope of returning to His presence through Jesus Christ.#HandmaidensHaremsAndHeroines #LynneHiltonWilson #OldTestament #BookOfEzekiel #WomenInScripture #BibleStudy #LDS #ComeFollowMe #ScriptureCentral #JesusChrist
