    Nibley Lectures: Come, Follow Me Doctrine and Covenants Lesson 12 (2025) — D&C 23-26

    During 1978, 1979, and 1980, Hugh Nibley taught a Doctrine and Covenants Sunday School class. Cassette recordings were made of these classes and some have survived and were digitized by Steve Whitlock and recently enhanced by Nick Galieti. Most of the tapes were in pretty bad condition. The original recordings usually don’t stop or start at the beginning of the class and there is some background noise. Volumes vary, probably depending upon where the recorder was placed in the room. Many are very low volume but in most cases it’s possible to understand the words. In a couple of cases the ends of one class were put on some space left over from a different class. There’s some mixup around D&C90-100 that couldn’t be figured out so those recordings are as they were on the tapes. Even with these flaws and missing classes, we believe these these will be interesting to listen to and valuable to your Come, Follow Me study program. This week we have one Lecture relevant to the March 17 – 23 Come, Follow Me lesson, “Seek for the Things of a Better World” covering D&C 23-26. All 26 recordings are available immediately as follows: * In the Complete Bibliography for Hugh Nibley (CBHN) at https://interpreterfoundation.org/bibliographies/hugh-w-nibley/lectures/ * Come, Follow Me Resource Index: Doctrine and Covenants — 2021 at https://interpreterfoundation.org/come-follow-me/doctrine-covenants-2021-index/   D&C 26-27: Recorded March 4, 1979

    The Heavenly Lamb, Sacrifices on the Heavenly Altar, and the Song of the Lamb

    Abstract: The symbolic image of the Lamb of God is well-known in the New Testament and The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. This image derives from the Old Testament, later adopted by early Christians. Words of Gad the Seer is an apocalyptic pseudepigraphal book written in pseudo-biblical Hebrew from a manuscript copied in the eighteenth century. After over thirty-three years of investigation, many aspects of this recently discovered text are coming to light. There are more than twenty similarities between this largely unknown book and the book of Revelation, though one was written by a Jewish man who became Christian and the other by a (non-rabbinic) Jew. This old yet newly discovered book will be presented briefly, and the concept of the Heavenly Altar and the song of the Lamb will be discussed. Some esoteric traditions’ pseudepigraphic, rabbinic, and Hekhalot literature will be presented concerning what is sacrificed on the Heavenly Altar or goes up to God, giving the heavenly world a new look. The relationship of the Song of the Lamb to Revelation 15:3 and Jewish liturgy is also explored. This paper discusses the role of the Heavenly Lamb as presented in Words of Gad the Seer, a long unknown Jewish Apocalypse,1 [Page 66]which may be compared or contrasted to the Heavenly Lamb in the book of Revelation on the one hand, and Rabbinic and Hekhalot literature parallels on the other. It will be shown that while the role of the Lamb seems to be passive in the book of Revelation, in Words of Gad the Seer, the Lamb is active because he sacrifices on the Heavenly Altar and praises the Lord in a song. Parallel traditions originating in Jewish tradition are presented, and the souls of the pious under the throne are discussed, as is the significance of the song of the Lamb and its implications for the dating of Words of Gad the Seer relative to the book of Revelation. Part 1: Sacrifices on the Heavenly Altar Generations of husbandry relationships between man and his animal stock made sheep a natural symbol for man, as is evident in the Bible more than once or twice: Israel are sheep while God is the shepherd (e.g., Numbers 27:17; 1 Kings 22:17; Isaiah 53:6; Jeremiah 50:17; Psalm 23:1; 44:23).2 This idea appears also in The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (Joseph 19; Benjamin 3),3 though it looks like a Christian [Page 67]intrusion into the text.4 This metaphor of sheep or flock as symbolizing the people of Israel was in constan...

    The Lamb of God: A Note on the Significance of Meir Bar-Ilan’s Paper for Latter-day Saints

    Abstract: Dr. Meir Bar-Ilan’s paper, “The Heavenly Lamb, Sacrifices on the Heavenly Altar, and the Song of the Lamb,” appearing concurrently in Interpreter, is a welcome contribution from a noted Jewish scholar. Bar-Ilan has called the world’s attention to a remarkable Hebrew manuscript with origins in antiquity, Words of Gad the Seer. Those interested in the relationship between Jewish texts and Latter-day Saint scriptures may also wish to compare the findings in Bar-Ilan’s paper with treatments of the Lamb of God in the Book of Mormon and the Book of Moses. The Interpreter Foundation is pleased to publish, immediately following my comments, an article by Professor Meir Bar-Ilan,1 a widely recognized scholar from a noted Israeli university, Bar-Ilan University. The university, founded in 1955, was named after his grandfather, Rabbi Meir Bar-Ilan, a prominent figure in Jewish education and in the rise of Israel. Professor Bar-Ilan’s work on an ancient Hebrew text, the long-overlooked manuscript known as Words of Gad the Seer,2 may be of particular value to Latter-day Saints. It has resonance with many themes of interest to the Restoration and to students of the [Page 58]Book of Mormon. Words of Gad the Seer has roots in antiquity and was preserved by a colony of Jews in Cochin, India. I have previously reviewed Bar-Ilan’s translation of the text and offered reasons why it ought to be considered a blessing by Latter-day Saints.3 After learning of potential Latter-day Saint interest in Words of Gad the Seer through Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship, Professor Bar-Ilan kindly contributed an article on a particular aspect of Words of Gad the Seer—the role of the Lamb of God mentioned in the first of fourteen chapters, including the significance of the “song of the Lamb.” It was a genuine delight to work with Dr. Bar-Ilan during our peer-review process. I was deeply touched that he spent time to bring this paper to us while living in adverse circumstances in Israel with regular rocket attacks and tragedies suffered by people in his community. He has continued with courage and hope as he seeks to help us appreciate the value of an important Hebrew text. I am greatly thankful for this kindness. The term Lamb of God occurs thirty-five times in the Book of Mormon, mostly from Nephi1, far more often than the two occurrences in the King James Bible (John 1:29, 36). A shorter form, The Lamb, occurs as a divine title twenty-four times in the book of Revelation and twenty-seven times in the Book of Mormon, mostly but not exclusively from Nephi1. Is the abundant use of this term in the Book of Mormon the result of Joseph Smith’s familiarity with the New Testament, or was it a more ancient term that may have been used by ancient Jews? Could that term even have been on the Brass Plates (a sacred compilation of scripture that Nephi1 acquired in 600 B.C. in Jerusalem, including various texts that became lost to the world)? Students of the Book of Mormon may have noted that the Lamb of God in Nephi1’s writings centuries be...

    “When Ye Shall Rend That Veil of Unbelief”: A Typological Reading of Ether 3 and 4

    Abstract: In the book of Ether, the prophet Moroni “Christianizes” the Jaredite story, inserting extensive Christian elements into an original text that predates the house of Israel, the Nephite nation, and the Christian era. In this paper, a typological and intertextual method is used to show how Moroni uses the words of Christ in Ether 3 and 4 to exhort his Gentile readers to embrace the Nephite record when it is manifest to them that they might receive even greater things (divine truths). Specifically, Moroni uses the brief account of the brother of Jared atop Mount Shelem to illustrate how Gentiles may “rend the veil of unbelief” and gain perfect knowledge of all things ever revealed. As the Lord revealed his finger to the brother of Jared, so also the Book of Mormon, itself a portion of the word of the Lord, will come forth to try their faith. Those Gentiles who believe and come to know with perfectness of its truthfulness are positioned to lay hold of even greater things than these through Christ. The value of this reading is to clarify Moroni’s effort to adapt the early Jaredite history to a later event—the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and its implications. Most Latter-day Saints are familiar with the account of the brother of Jared in the book of Ether. At the time of the Tower of Babel and the confusion of the languages, the Jaredites were led by the Lord through a wilderness across the raging deep and into a western land of promise. In order to light the vessels in which they would travel over (and under) these seas, the brother of Jared “molten out of a rock sixteen small stones” (Ether 3:1). With these stones, he approaches [Page 38]the Lord in prayer and obtains an unparalleled theophany of Jehovah. The brother of Jared, the spiritual leader of this pre-Israelite remnant, enters into the veil and is taught about all things pertaining to Earth and its inhabitants. This event speaks to the character of this man. The brother of Jared is an example of profound humility and mighty faith. His story is taught to our children and elsewhere rehearsed in our Sunday School classrooms. Many laymen and scholars view the account as a temple text. What may be less well understood is how Moroni creatively may use this story of one man’s efforts to obtain the help of the Lord, in order to make a significant point about the sacred record that he and his father have spent their lives preparing. Moroni uses the words of the Lord Jesus Christ in the brother of Jared’s story in Ether 3 and 4 to exhort the Gentiles (and all those who would have the record) to receive the Book of Mormon in faith that they might also come to a knowledge of the Lord and even greater divine truths than those contained in the part or portion of the word of the Lord synonymous with the Nephite record. In Moroni’s conception, the finger of the Lord, which was made manifest to the brother of Jared, may be seen as a type of the Nephite record manifest to the Gentiles. Many persons who study and teach about the brother of Jared’s journey to the promised land like to consider his unusual faith and his mountaintop encounter with the pre-mortal Christ. Elder Jeffery R. Holland has notably written about these matters.1 Others have taken a more symbolic and devotional approach to the general story, including the mountaintop theophany.a id="footnote2anc" href="#footnote2sym" title="2.
