THINNING OF THE VEIL

Urim and Thummim in Hebrew means, "lights and perfections". Within the context of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we find added meaning to the most often used definition of a Urim and Thummim, being and instrument to translate languages. In the Endowment ceremony we find additional powers and insights to another meaning and use of a Urim and Thummim. We see in the pattern of the Brother of Jared, Aaron and his sons, and other scriptural patterns, that our bodies, as we gather Israel, can also become a type of Urim and Thummim as we enter into covenantal relationship with the Savior in the temple. In the latter days, Zion will come and those who reside in that Holy City will be revelatory beings of light patterned after their Savior, Jesus Christ, who will personally preside and reside in that sacred city.

Donald W. Parry is a BYU professor who studies and teaches, the Hebrew Bible. This particular speech was given on July 31, 2012. In this talk, he quite extensively talks about angels by looking at the patterns through out the ages of heavenly messengers visiting the earth. Elder Parry, teaches that angels have always been involved in helping those living in mortality to accomplish the work of the Savior, Jesus Christ. While it is true that much is not known about these heavenly beings, the Lord has revealed quite a lot of doctrine surrounding this help from heaven. This BYU speech teaches the patterns that we all can be looking for when it comes to experiencing angels in our own lives. We just need to have eyes to see and ears to hear.

In General Conference 1973, President Harold B. Lee gave a talk titled, "Stand Ye in Holy Places". He  begins by teaching the importance of service in the Lord's Kingdom. The commands to comfort those that stand in need of comfort, to bear one another's burdens, and come into the fold of God. He encourages, "The great call has come now in the sermons of the brethren to aid those who are in need of aid, not just temporal aid, but spiritual aid...Who of us, in whatever station we may have been in, have not needed strengthening?" President Lee then relates a singular transcendent experience that happened when he was serving the Lord and needed help, that he did not even know he needed. An angel from the other side of the veil came to his rescue, allowing President Lee to continue on in the Lord's work. Heaven is so very real, and angels are sent to minister to us, as we minister to others. YouTube "Harold B.

On May 16, 1986, in Cokeville, Wyoming, an unimaginable tragedy happened. A school of elementary aged children was taken over by two deranged individuals, David and Doris Young. They brought with them numerous weapons, including a gasoline bomb. Their intent was to get rich by holding hostages and requiring a ransom. After they rounded up everyone in the school into one small classroom, their plan started to unwind, eventually leading to the bomb exploding in the classroom. The only people who died from that explosion where David and Doris Young. While others had some injuries not one of the children or adults died. How did this happen? Heaven was in the room that day. Each survivor has their own testimony of the veil being thin, and on this episode, two of the survivors, Jeromy Jamison and Brad Nate, recount their miraculous interventions. Truly they were being watched over from the other side of the veil. Jarica Jamison, Jeromy's daughter, preforms a song titled "Miracle", in honor of those who survived and continue to choose living as the Savior would have them live. All who have overcome trauma and continue to choose Jesus Christ are truly Miracles in every sense of the word and heaven is cheering them on in their work still to do.  YouTube: Cokeville Survivors Speak Video: https://youtu.be/8ZpmaBfwAj8The Cokeville Miracle Movie: https://youtu.be/pc6_QGO5me0?si=Srxiq_T4-7Mw778UJarica Jamison Media Links: https://linktr.ee/jaricajamisonYouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQ  SUPPORT THE SHOW: Website: Thinning of the Veil: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com/Venmo:  https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USBook: "Patterns of Revelation":  https://www.amazon.com/Patterns-Revelation-Spiritual-Foundations-Hearing-ebook/dp/B0BWGLZ8VXEmail: tia@thinningoftheveil.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veil/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thinning.of.the.veil/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thinning.of.the.veilSupport the show

M. Catherine Thomas is a scholar of the gospel of Jesus Christ and who taught at BYU in the Ancient Scripture Department. She has authored numerous articles and books. This episode is a reading of her article called "The Brother of Jared at the Veil", which was included at a BYU Symposium. Catherine describes in detail the relationship between our own journey within the temple endowment and the Brother of Jared's own journey through the wilderness and eventually coming to his own temple mount. Every detail of the Brother of Jared's experience relates to the ordinances, covenants, and symbolism in our own endowment process, and she teaches that every invitation extended to the Brother of Jared is also extended to us in the holy temples.
