THINNING OF THE VEIL

Sometimes it may seem that we do not know a lot about the Spirit World and yet it is something that we are encouraged to study regularly. In this talk given by Curtis Jacobs at BYU Education Week,  in 2020, we learn that there are a lot of sources that point to the doctrines of Pre-mortality, the Plan of Salvation and the Spirit World. As a former Institute teacher, Brother Jacobs understands the importance of learning from sources like the scriptures and prophetic teachings, as does a masterful job of teaching about one of the most beautiful doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.YouTube "Understanding the Spirit World" Video Link: https://youtu.be/7bJehn1rigYYouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: YouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQWebsite: 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.veilCITATIONS:Curtis Jacobs, "Understanding the Spirit World", BYU Education Week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxipjPrOdVsSupport the show

In FamilySearch there are many different icons. One of the least understood of the icons is the Yellow Temple. In this episode Colette teaches what a yellow temple is and how to change it from yellow to green. It is a simple process which takes some sleuthing skills, but well worth the extra effort. Finding missing information is now easier than it ever has been. Taking up the challenge will be super rewarding for you and your ancestor's on the other side of the veil.YouTube Yellow Temples on FamilySearch Video: https://youtu.be/PqmqUH_bNAoYouTube Thinning of the Veil Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCAA9WnYhYvCp1ffCe-AGUQQ  FamilySearch: https://www.familysearch.org/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

Our premortal existence, mortality, and the spirit world are all connected because of familial love. Fredrick Hurst became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was asked to work tirelessly on making sure the the Salt Lake Temple was finished. The sacrifice was great, but as in all things, the spiritual blessings obtained through his sacrificial work were even greater. Fredrick was visited by his two brothers on the other side of the veil, one night in succession. Each brother needed Fredrick's help to progress in the eternal family unit. Because of the covenants that Fredrick entered into with the Savior, he stood in a key position within the family to help save the generations. Spiritual gifts follow those that believe and do.

Brent L. Top and his wife, Wendy, have authored several books about death, the spirit world, and doctrines related to pre mortality, including "What's on the Other Side?" and "Beyond Death's Door".

Both Brent and Wendy relate thinning of the veil experiences that have influenced their lives and have added to their testimonies of the reality of the Spirit World.

There is so much more to becoming a sanctified one, than we can comprehend. Kevin Packard illustrates some of the inherent patterns in that process. The lunar cycle, sacred Jewish holidays and the planting and harvest seasons, all play a role in this overarching invitation to become like our Savior Jesus Christ. Brother Packard explains why the Gathering of Israel is supremely important as we desire to become a holy, sanctified, savior on Mount Zion. In this BYUI Devotional talk by Elder Bednar, he describes the power by which the children of Israel were saved from the destroying angel. In our day we are seeing plagues of various kinds and many destroying angels spreading destruction on the world, nations, congregations, and our families. These tragic events have been warned of for generations and now they are upon us in full force. There is a compensatory power that has also been prophesied for the help of the saints. If we will stand in holy places, we will be safe as Elder Bednar testifies of the protecting power of covenantal relationship with our Savior, forcing the destroying angels to pass us by.
