There are conflicting messages in the Bible about slavery. 08:39 – The Israelites accept the covenant and ratify it. 13:00 – The Joseph Smith Translation clarifies the ambiguity in the Bible about whether or not God can be seen. 15:30 – As we are willing to receive light, we will receive more light. 20:28 – The Tabernacle is planned. Elder Bednar encourages us to discuss the temple more often. 23:55 – Symbols of Christ in The Tabernacle portray our journey back to our Heavenly Home. 32:54 – Artisans furnish The Tabernacle. The Lord doesn’t give a commandment without preparing a way for it to be accomplished. The talents we posses are part of God’s divine plan. 37:06 – The Sabbath Day is observed. We need to rest and be refreshed. 37:51 – Aaron makes a golden calf for Israel to worship while Moses is on the mountain. The Levites enact violence against the apostates. 43:27 – When the Kingdom of Israel splits around 921 BC, Jeroboam constructs golden calves in Dan and Bethel. The story of the golden calf may be a message to Israel casting Jeroboam as an apostate king, perhaps portraying a theological rift after the schism in Israel. 47:31 – The bull (calf) was a symbol for God in the ancient Near East and represents strength and might. It may also represent the pedestal or footstool of God. 50:42 – The stone tables are broken and the Israelites are given a lesser law. This may also help us see the Book of Mormon in a new light. 1:01:38 – Moses represents the Savior Jesus Christ as he offers a prayer pleading for the Israelites.
