Red Heifer, Rebuilding the Jewish Temple, Hebrew Language Restored, the State of Israel
Although similar to the Christian "Signs of the Times" before the Second Coming of Jesus, Orthodox Jews believe in their own Jewish "Signs of the Times" before their Messiah comes. In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner describes the Jewish "Signs of the Times" including the Red Heifer, an unblemished, perfect red Angus cow, originally imported from the United States, but improved in Israel through breeding. According to Jewish tradition, the next Red Heifer sacrificed will signal the coming of the Messiah. Other signs of the Messiah that have already taken place include the restoration of the restoration of the Hebrew language as a primary language in Israel, the establishment of the modern State of Israel, planned, intense Jewish preparation for rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, and anti-Semitism on university campuses and elsewhere.

Where Did the Nephites Get their Priesthood Authority?
Host Martin Tanner explains by what Priesthood authority Lehi and his family went to the New World, and there, organized new Churches and Synagogues, and performed Ordinances, including baptism. If no family of Latter-day Saints can simply decide to move to a new country, and start a new branch or stake, by what authority did Lehi, Nephi and their extensed families form new churches and synagogues in the New World, and perform ordinances there? In this episode of Religion Today, Martin Tanner answers these questions, and many related ones.

Filmmaker T.C. Christensen's New Film: Escape from Germany
In this episode of Religion Today, host Martin Tanner interviews T.C. Christensen, Latter-day Saint filmmaker extrordinaire (filmography: 17 Miracles; Ephraim's Resccue; The Cokeville Miracle; Love Kennedy, The Fighting Preacher, and many more), who has a new film in theaters now, Escape From Germany (PG). This historically accurate film, the story-line of which is derived from the personal diaries of the missionaries and others who experienced it, describes the miracles, and inspired decisions made by the President Heber J. Grant, the President of the LDS Germany Mission when World War II started, and many others, which enabled Mormon missionaries to escape from Nazi Germany during the final days before Hitler closed the boarders of Germany, invaded neighboring countries, and started World WW2. This extraordinary film is a must see, accurate historical drama, from a new perspective, and is appropriate for the entire family. Host Martin Tanner highly recommends this movie from one of the very best LDS filmmakers, T.C. Christensen

Excellent Podcast
I’ve been listening to Religion Today for many years. Martin Tanner is a master scholar and teaches Latter-day Saint doctrine and history accurately. I appreciate his willingness to approach relevant and sometimes controversial topics, while being true to what is taught in scripture and by living prophets. He’s even responded to my personal questions via email.
