The Redemption of Zion Podcast

Jesus Christ taught that “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” What is the Sabbath? Is the Sabbath the same as the Lord’s Day? What day of the week does the Lord proscribe that we meet together to take the sacrament? How are we to administer and take the sacrament with each other?

Phil discusses what is required to be a true servant and disciple.

Phil discuss those who qualify for destruction and those who qualify for deliverance.

Nephi “with unwearyingness declared the word” without fear of men and with continuous diligence in keeping God’s commandments. Having been tested to the core, the Lord saw fit to give Nephi the sealing power to bind on earth and heaven, knowing that he would not do things that are contrary to God’s will. What is this power Nephi received and how does one receive it? What is the holy order of God?

Followers of Christ must follow the path He established. The path to the tree of life includes the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost and second comforter experiences. The host shares some personal experiences about preparing for, seeking after and receiving these things in this life. Those who seek to “come unto Christ” may know for themselves of “our gospel did not come to you in word only, but...

The LDS Word of Wisdom discussion continued, with a modern day application. Using the same principles of “avoid toxins that harm” and “eat things that strengthen” we must be wise in our times. Many hidden dangers and benefits in common foods and household products are explored. Informed decision-making and wisdom from the Spirit should be applied to improving our temporal and spiritual health.

The Lord warned and forewarned the saints of evil & conspiring men in the last days who would seek to poison mankind and attack the general health of the population. The LDS Word of Wisdom is designed to be adapted to the times in which we live. In modern times, we must all learn to identify and avoid harmful toxins and strive to consume a wise diet that allows for our bodies to heal and house the...

An ambitious king enthrones himself over a divided, distracted and confused people via fraud, deceit and false flag operations. The people are led by Captain Moroni, a man capable of shaking the powers of hell forever, who inspires his people to rise up in their duties to resist the secret combinations and their criminal king. Inspired by a righteous cause, Moroni shows how true men of God battle...

Secret combinations enforced tyranny and appointed wicked and murderous leaders into positions of power. The Nephites only sought to preserve their lands, houses, family, rights, privileges, liberty, and ability to worship God. The Nephites followed God’s command to “defend your families even unto bloodshed” and fought a defensive war with success, and extended a peaceful covenant to those who sou...

Part 2 of the “Repentance & Atonement” The “worth of souls is great” and a soul that repents brings joy to God. Prophets teach tirelessly to get the people to be wise about this critical fork in the road: repentance and joy, or bondage and death. Christ’s pleads for us to understand: “I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent. But if they would not...

Alma’s son Corianton received from his father one of the best discourses on the doctrine of the atonement ever given. This came after having found himself entangled in sin while a missionary. Alma detailed the delicate balance between mercy, justice and law, showing how everyone can come unto Christ and have their sins remitted. If one allows Christ’s atonement to take root in them, their sins (no...

What does it mean to be “born of God?” We must fully understand this pivotal moment in one’s life, where a covenant of lifelong commitment and devotion to God above all else is received and rewarded by the heavens. God grants his children abilities to assist in healing, teaching and developing using His power, beginning with the gift of the Holy Ghost and the gifts of the spirits that accompany th...

Korihor’s anti-Christ doctrines were gaining popularity among many. Having witnessed its damage tot he faith of many people, including the Zoramites, Alma resolved that “the preaching of the word… had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else… therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.”

The people of Ammon experienced the preaching of one who had the spirit of prophecy and revelation and who taught the doctrine of Christ by the power of God. Some experienced a mighty change and came unto Christ, Others rejected them, spat upon them, kicked them out of their churches and homes and sought to kill them. These joys and sorrows are the psalms of God’s true servants.

The end-time servant’s return culminates in the establishment of the New Jerusalem. After Joseph Smith comes back and finishes his commission, the Savior returns and receives His people. During the millennial period of peace, the faithful saints learn, develop and grow towards perfection in the celestial law. The earth prepares to become celestialized, and the people prepare for final Judgement.

Despite the scoffs of many, prophecies of Joseph Smith’s ongoing ministry until the New Jerusalem prevails are abundant. Joseph of Egypt, Lehi, Nephi, Zenos and Joseph Smith himself wrote many prophecies from the Lord detailing this return of “one mighty and strong.” This man is to be like unto Moses and receives a call back to the vineyard to set the Lord’s house in order. The only man specifical...

Christ will appear to His people in the New Jerusalem, a stronghold for the faithful remnant. These are they who resist joining the Babylonian destiny of confusion, chaos, violence and plunder. The saints of God are commanded to prepare for the second coming. All men are commanded to flee from Babylon, come to Zion, and prepare for the great day of the Lord.

Enoch received an everlasting covenant from God, with a promise that the Lord would return to the earth and dwell among the righteous of Noah’s seed. The inhabitants of the city of Enoch will return to the earth also to assist Joseph in the work of building the Holy City, called the New Jerusalem. A “city of Enoch” for our day is afoot, while truth and righteousness is now flooding the earth in pr...

A terrifying tyrannical rampage of the King of Babylon will annihilate billions. He will target the notorious saints of God for extermination, who openly defy him and refuse to bow to him. The Lord endows with power and sends His end-time servant to inspire the faithful, lead them out of captivity and to demonstrate the Lord’s matchless power to frustrate the designs of any who dare to fight again...

Isaiah prophesied in detail the war between good and evil in the last days. He paints a vivid picture of a great Assyrian king, who rises to power and coerces the nations of the earth into bondage and submission to the evil order. The Lord fulfills His promise to protect His covenant people by sending the end-time servant to deliver the faithful from impending doom and to reinstate Zion.

The mysterious allegory of the olive trees in Jacob 5 can be tough to understand. If one is familiar with the end-time prophecies of Nephi, Isaiah, Jesus and Joseph Smith it begins to make more sense. The servant counsels with the Lord about how to produce good fruit: saved souls who partake of the tree of life. Their plans include the reestablishment of the everlasting covenant, and the fulfillme...
