Isaiah 50-57 Prophetic Images of the Savior | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

What do Isaiah’s prophecies teach us about the Messiah—and about our personal relationship with God? In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Isaiah chapters 50–57, some of the most powerful and deeply Messianic passages in the Old Testament. These chapters point forward to Jesus Christ, describing His suffering, rejection, sacrifice, and redeeming mission centuries before His mortal ministry.Lynne also explores the beautiful imagery Isaiah uses to describe God’s relationship with His covenant people, including the imagery of a mother caring for her children, a bride and bridegroom, and a loving God who remembers and gathers His people. As we examine the “Suffering Servant” and Isaiah’s prophecies of the Savior, we discover not only what Christ would do for us, but what those ancient promises reveal about who we are and how closely God desires to be connected to us. Join Lynne as she uncovers the women, symbolism, covenant language, and Messianic promises woven throughout Isaiah 50–57—and discover how these ancient words can deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ today.

"Stand Forever" Ep. 34 | The Truth—The Church of Jesus Christ Part II | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge Sep 27, 2026

Is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on earth?

There is one Church and one Church only, that fulfills all that has been foreseen and prophesied regarding the kingdom of God on earth in these last days, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Like a magnet, The Church of Jesus Christ has always and will always draw criticism and opposition. It will always have many times more than its share of antagonists, desperately striving to disprove, debunk, discredit, and destroy, often curiously fueled with malevolent zeal. That is so, because it is true. Opposition, criticism, and antagonism are constant companions to the truth.

Truth never exists unopposed.

Christ is the center, the chief cornerstone of His Church. No religion does more to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and make the blessings of His infinite Atonement available to God’s children everywhere on both sides of the veil than The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints established for that very purpose. Everything revolves around Christ to the end of bridging the gap with God, our Eternal Father. That is so because it is His Church.

"Stand Forever" Ep. 33 | The Truth—The Church of Jesus Christ Part I | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge Sep 20, 2026

Show notes

Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on earth?The Church could have lost its way and divine approval since it was organized in 1830. It wouldn’t be the first time; in fact, it is the pattern of history. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” So, let’s look at some of the fruits. Christ is the center, the chief cornerstone of His Church. Priesthood authority is evidence of the kingdom of God on earth. Beginning with Joseph Smith and down to the present-day, God has called prophets to guide us as He has always done before.One of the glorious truths of the restoration is that the heavens are open, and God speaks not only to prophets as He has done throughout the ages, but to all His children who ask, knock, and seek. Revelation is both a sign of the truth and the means to know it.Is it worth the effort to find out? No endeavor could be more important, nor could more hang on a single question.Apostasy has always toppled the kingdom of God on earth, but not this time. This time the kingdom of God will stand forever against all odds and opposition. This time it will not fail.

Isaiah 13-35 A Prophet Whom Jesus Loved | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, biblical scholar Lynne Hilton Wilson explores Isaiah chapters 13–35, a powerful collection of prophecies filled with warnings, judgment, hope, destruction, and visions of the future.Isaiah is one of the Bible’s most influential and frequently quoted prophets, and these chapters demonstrate why his words have echoed through scripture for centuries. Lynne examines Isaiah’s prophecies concerning great cities and nations, including Babylon and Tyre, while also exploring the vivid imagery Isaiah uses to describe destruction, captivity, and the ultimate triumph of God.What do these chapters teach us about ravished wives, female slaves, and the daughters of Tarshish? What was life like for women caught in the devastating consequences of ancient warfare and conquest? Lynne brings attention to the women who appear—sometimes only briefly—in Isaiah’s prophecies and helps us better understand their experiences within the ancient world.But Isaiah’s vision reaches far beyond his own day. These chapters also contain dramatic images that look toward the apocalypse and the end times, when the wicked are judged, the world is transformed, and God’s salvation is revealed. From the fall of Babylon to the eventual redemption of Zion, Isaiah’s message combines sobering warnings with some of scripture’s most beautiful promises of hope.Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as she continues her journey through the Old Testament and uncovers the women, history, symbolism, and powerful prophetic messages found in Isaiah 13–35. Discover why Isaiah remains one of the most important voices in scripture—and why his ancient prophecies still speak so powerfully to our world today.#Isaiah #OldTestament #BibleStudy #WomenInTheBible #LynneHiltonWilson #HandmaidensHaremsHeroines #Babylon #Tyre #EndTimes #Apocalypse #ScriptureStudy

"Stand Forever" Ep. 32 | The Truth—Was Joseph Smith A Prophet? Part II | Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge Sep 13, 2026

Show notes

Pick almost any scripture from the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, and ask yourself if they read like the words of deceit, lunacy, or God.

Joseph Smith said, “…that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.”

Following the three-month period of translation between April and June 1829, Joseph Smith produced the manuscript of what would be printed and published the following year as the Book of Mormon, a book of over 500 printed pages. And not just any book—a book dictated in a continuous stream without notes, books, or reference materials, with layers upon layers of complexity.

How does an uneducated young man produce a complicated narration of multiple literary structures and styles, a web of hundreds of chronological and geographical references, multiple discernible authorship styles, hundreds of authorship shifts, language patterns and idioms of the Near East, and also fill the scores of gaps of truth missing from the Bible all in a continuous, unassisted, unedited flow of dictation in 60 days?

The Book of Mormon appearing on the scene within two months, containing what it contains, does not happen in the ordinary course of events without the intervention of a higher power.

The Book of Mormon speaks for itself.
