Doubts and hopes are tied together in this story. 16:40 – Abraham bargains with the Lord for Sodom and Gomora to be saved because he knows the mercy of God. 23:33 – The story of Sodom and Gomora also portrays God’s justice. 24:46 – Lot makes efforts to save his family from destruction in Genesis 19. 29:45 – Lot pitching his tent toward Sodom cost him his family. 33:54 – The troubling narrative of Lot’s two daughters and the cave in Genesis 19.30-38. 38:35 – Beauty for ashes in Isaiah 61.3. Through tragic experiences, beauty can come to pass. Your origin story is not who you are. 42:01 – Genesis 20 is a triplet of the same story. This chapter introduces the Elohist’s narrative, a source text most likely related to Lehi’s Brass Plates text. 43:20 – The long-promised day finally comes and Isaac is born. We should trust and have faith in promises that take time to be fulfilled. The Song of Sarah. 45:11 – Hagar and Ishmael are cast out of Abraham’s household and they wander in the wilderness. Their water runs out and God shows her a well of water. God helps us, but also wants us to do all we can. 55:36 – Complexities, gaps, and anachronisms in Genesis 21. A covenant, a sacred well, and a tree at Beer-sheba are illustrations of temple imagery, connecting the Patriarchs to figures of the temple and visionary experiences. 58:55 – The burial of Sarah in Genesis 23. Different ways to read Abraham’s “mourning” and “weeping” for Sarah. 1:03:16 – The Lord asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac upon Mount Moriah, the foundation stone, Jerusalem's most sacred ground. 1:04:47 – “The mountains” is an anagram of “Moriah” in Genesis 22.2. 1:07:05 – We are here to be tested. We will have trials of faith equal to Abraham’s. 1:11:23 – Isaac is an excellent type of Jesus Christ. Elder Melvin J. Ballard shares his feelings regarding Heavenly Father sacrificing his Son.
