(00:00) Historical background.
(02:17) Joseph Smith demonstrated majesty in chains while in custody in Richmond.
(05:35) Ten eternal truths we can apply to our lives from the Liberty Jail experience.
(07:38) #1: God is aware of your trials, you are not alone.
(11:11) #2: Your suffering will end. It will not last forever.
(12:41) #3: Be faithful in tribulation and endure it well.
(17:59) #4: Thy friends do stand by thee. Share your burdens.
(24:18) #5: Other people, like Job, survived their challenges.
(25:29) #6: God allows agency, but justice will prevail in the end. The Missourians eventually pay a bitter price for their actions.
(29:13) The classic problem of evil.
(31:54) #7: Mortality is oftentimes painful, but we are promised that joy will swallow up the suffering through divine compensation.
(38:33) Like Job and Joseph, we can communicate directly with God about our how we really feel.
(41:01) #8: All these things shall give thee experience and shall be for thy good.
(44:40) #9: Jesus is familiar with our pain and knows what we need to be saved.
(47:17) #10: Their bounds are set. Suffering is calculated for our benefit.
(48:36) An alternate view of D&C 122.9. Perhaps this verse applies to Joseph Smith only and is not universal in its application.
(51:05) An overview of the ten truths.
(54:56) Lyman Wight collects affidavits which are used to seek redress from the federal government. It is our duty to seek truth and light.
(57:39) The persecution in Missouri was both religious and political, but the main complaint against the Saints was their religion.
(1:00:26) A discussion about unrighteous dominion. Power comes from righteousness, not from position or compulsion.
(1:10:45) The end of this section contains an invitation to understand dominion as it is taught in the temple. A description of God as a Man of Holiness, who invites His children with meekness to partake in all that He has.
