[00:00:15] Speaker A: Welcome to the weekly Deep Dive podcast on the add on Education network. The podcast where we take a look at the weekly come follow me discussions and try to add a little insight and unique perspective. I am your host, Jason Lloyd, here in the studio with our friend and this show’s producer, Nate Pfeiffer.
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Ma. Yoko. Oh, no.
Yoko ono joke there.
[00:00:42] Speaker A: How you doing this week?
[00:00:44] Speaker B: I mean, I’m making Yoko Ono jokes to start the show, so that’s how I’m doing this week.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I still don’t know if I can get a good read on that.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: You know, she just screams.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
I don’t even know where to go with that.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: I mean, there’s really nowhere to go with that.
She ruined the Beatles. You know, it’s the whole thing.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: Sad story.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Nah, it’s life. Whatever, man.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: That’s what happened.
[00:01:14] Speaker B: What’s up with you this week?
Just getting ready.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Just getting ready, I guess.
I’ve got a little stone hanging out with me.
[00:01:25] Speaker B: You’re stoned? Hanging out? What?
What did you say? I’ve got a stone hanging out with me.
[00:01:32] Speaker A: A little stone hanging out with me.
[00:01:34] Speaker B: I don’t even know what that means.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: It’s when I ended up in the ER and found out I had a kidney stone.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that’s right. You have a new buddy.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he’s just kind of hanging in there.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: Wait, so wait, that whole ordeal’s not over yet?
[00:01:48] Speaker A: No.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: All right, what are we talking about this week?
[00:01:51] Speaker A: This week we get to talk about Mosiah.
I say Mosiah. It’s Mosiah one through three. But really it’s King Benjamin. And King Benjamin gets to kind of rally the people together and have a little speech. Benjamin’s speech.
Maybe now’s a good time to drop this little nugget.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: We’Re starting Mosiah, and honestly, we haven’t flipped very many pages into the Book of Mormon. Where are we at? 100 pages in, 150 pages in. Somewhere in there, right?
And there’s like, 500 pages. We’re physically really close to Nephi and them leaving Jerusalem. But for what it’s worth, we’re only 140 years away from when Christ is coming, where they left Jerusalem around 600 years. So we’re talking about 400 plus years since Lehi left Jerusalem.
These guys here in the book of Mormon, Benjamin, Mosiah. And we’re going to soon get into Ammon, the sons of Mosiah, and all of this interesting stuff, right? They are much closer to Christ and his appearance and where we’re going to get third Nephi later down the road than they are to Nephi and Lehi leaving Jerusalem.
[00:03:09] Speaker B: It’s wild to think of all of the wars and the destruction and all of the gnarliness that’s going to happen throughout all of Alma and Helaman and all of that. To think all of that’s happening in such a way shorter, condensed time before Jesus comes, where that seems like that would be the hundreds and hundreds of years.
So, yeah, it’s kind of mind blowing to put that in perspective.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: It makes me curious as to what happened in that 400 year black hole where we’re just getting these little one liners about what did or didn’t happen from these guys, which is also something else interesting.
When I look at isr...
