Book of Ether

Likewise, the Book of Mormon also records the existence of empires in the New World.

We get the Jaredite civilization in the Book of Ether, a promise that they will become the greatest nation in the world.

Uh, this greatest nation on Earth, we find no traces of it.

The dates found in the footnotes of the Book of Mormon indicate that the Jaredite Empire was replaced by the Nephite Empire shortly after 600 BC.

So we have a very clear evidence for the, uh, uh, very tragic events which took place at Masada through archeology.

No civilization can be wiped out in such a way that, uh, no remnant of it, uh, is left.

The Book of Ether in the Book of Mormon, especially chapter 15, describes a, a massive war in which it reports there had been slain 2 millions of mighty men, also their wives and children.

Where are these steel swords that led to the massacres of millions? Where are the, the bodies, the remains, the skeletons of these millions of people? Where, where's the evidence of this ancient catastrophe? We don't find it.

We don't find it in Central America.

They become part of those legal structures.

The warning becomes more direct in the Book of Mormon's Book of Ether.

Moroni, the Book of Mormon prophet, tells future readers that these combinations will become powerful enough to destroy nations and tells readers of the Book of Mormon to recognize the dangers when similar structures appear among them in these latter days.

Ether chapter 8 verse 25 describes a secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries.

And the land southward, most of it is rarely, it's in the very north part of South America.

You've got Panama with He thinks that's where the city of Lib was with that pass where they got blocked off in the Book of Ether.

Okay.

And then he has, but he has the, he doesn't have anything relating to the Book of Mormon Although he may have thought in terms of, you know, they call the hill New York Cumorah.

Even a Mormon who's read it a billion times will probably not even know what I'm about to say.

It's in the Book of Ether, which is one of the more kind of obscure ones.

It's towards the latter half of the Book of Mormon.

I've had this verse memorized for years.

Wait, but there was no

priesthood ever mentioned in the book of Ether.

That's true.

There was no church ever mentioned either.

There was only a prophet,

the brother of Jared.

There's actually no real Christian teachings in the book of Ether.

They're inserted by Moroni as an afterthought.

That's the one.

Instead of, I don't know, a beloved symbol from the Book of Ether and the Book of Mormon that we've used for 200 years.

No, no, it's Polish communism.

That, Candace Owens? Wow.

They're work- Joseph's working on the translation of the Bible, and so he's learning about the city of Zion, Enoch's city, the New Jerusalem.

And then this new Jerusalem, the Book of Ether describes a new Jerusalem on this continent.

So they're thinking in terms of physical location.

Ohio is a step closer to, uh, you know, the borders by the Lamanites, a step closer to Missouri for them, although it isn't the location, obviously, of the center place of Zion.

imagine – I guess let me say it this way.

Imagine how significant the evidence of chiasmus in the Book of Mormon would be if we found chiasms all over the Book of Mormon except for in the Book of Ether.

If we found chiasms all over except in the Book of Ether – That would make sense if the narrative's claims are true in the sense that the people that are being talked about in the Book of Ether are not Hebrews.

They predate that, basically.

They leave the old world around the time of the Tower of Babel.

And so this is before chiasm is even a thing.

So we shouldn't find chiasms in the Book of Ether.

Instead, you have one right here.
