Trying to word this comment through tears and sniffling and being overawed - in the truest sense of the word, awe; as reverential fear and wonderment. This lesson - Part 1 and 2, has taken my breath away. How in the world did I never see these layers of symbolic depth, that have lifted me, humbled me, awed me! How my scriptural understanding has grown under your truly gifted tutelage! This first lesson on The Book of Revelation has been just that - such a revelation! I am going to find it difficult as I wait with bated breath for your next two lessons on The Book of Revelation . I just need to remember to breathe. How do I ever thank you for changing my understanding of scripture beyond recognition. Almost four years have just flown past. Thank you, Brother Halverson, from the very depth of my soul - thank you!
Right!?! You're in good company.
Amen…we are so richly blessed ❤️😇
I echo these sentiments! Thank you for your time and testimony. God bless you and your family Brother Halverson.
AMEN ❤️
We feel the very same. Thank you for your eloquently stated gratitude. We are forever grateful for Brother Halverson.
Thank you, thank you for bringing the New Testament to life for me this year! I am eternally grateful for your efforts in sharing the gospel. This message spoke to my heart and truly made my heart swell with awe and gratitude to my Savior and Father in Heaven. Words cannot express. I truly stand all amazed. I hope I can remember this awe always. Words that always confused me before, now leave me with tears in my eyes and complete gratitude in my soul!
My son was diagnosed with cancer shortly after returning home from his mission 3 years ago. It was a shock to my soul in every way, to say the least. We had to travel 45 minutes each way to chemo treatments for 3 months. We used to listen to your podcasts as we traveled and I can't tell you the number of times that I leaned on the Spirit of your words and wisdom to see me through those dark days. He is doing well now, but I still find time to listen to your teachings throughout each week. Thank you! Please know that you make a beautiful difference to so many. Thank you, thank you! What can I say more?
I have always known of the existence of God the Father. Your teachings brought me at 75 yrs old to know who Jesus Christ was and His significance in my life! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! I am grateful for opening the eyes of my understanding that I might have the joy of being acceptable to God the Father!!
I in awe am humbled and grateful. I have no words. Thank you in the full meaning of the word.
I keep coming back to this lesson because it is beyond beautiful. I do not have the superlatives to express the magnitude of my adoration of chapters 4 & 5, and the manner in which you presented it. I am deep, deep, deeply awe struck, from the images of jasper and sardine to the ten commandments of Jesus found in the JST of Luke. Thank you for leading me deeper into my scripture journey.
In my best, all American expression of everyrthing I feel about this lesson... AWESOME!
There are not great enough words to thank you for opening these scriptures for me. My life is quickly fading away and I look forward to meeting my Savior again. Beautiful lesson, maybe your best. A bazillion thanks😊.
😇❤️
I have just found your lessons as a new gospel doctrine teacher and I am so grateful for your understanding and articulation. You have helped me to become excited to learn rather than being intimidated and confused. Thank you for using your talents to bless others.
I'm only halfway through this one, but I have to pause and write. Thank you for your very inspired chapter 4.
I stand all amazed.
I just don't even know what to say.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. We love our Savior Jesus Christ, come unto Him and focus on Him always and try to be like Him😍👏
Thank you for helping me understand some of the beautiful symbolism found in Revelation. God and Jesus Christ are great!!!!
There’s just not a word good enough to describe what Jesus has accomplished for us . Unweariness Awe is a very good choice ……Thank you Bro Halverson for your clarification.. it means so much….
I listened to the hymn "Glory to God in High" and tried to imagine the hosts of heaven singing such a song of worship to our Lamb, the Son of God.
Dear Brother Halverson. Thank you so. Very. Much for this. Thank you for opening my eyes and increasing my understanding of that which is contained here in. My soul is grateful. My heart is filled. Thank you for increasing my love and gratitude for our Savior through this increased understanding. You have no idea how much you bless so many of us. Thank you....
Amen❤️😇. We have been so selflessly blessed by our good brother and teacher.
I just took part in my first choral concert of the season, singing the "Christmas" portion of Handel's Messiah. I enjoyed it more than ever, having given my personal best performance by far, but after listening to your exceptional teaching performance here, I have such a greater appreciation for what Handel has given us.
I have also participated in many Messiah sing-alongs, and I now see great wisdom in supporing such opportunities as rehearsals for the ultimate Messiah concert! 😮😂 😇 Thank you for making the book of Revelation so relevant to my life!
This was wonderful. Finally, some understanding of these chapters of Revelation that have gone right over my head my whole life. Thank you, Brother Halverson, yet again. Excited anticipation for more.
From Bonifacio First Ward of Makati East Philippines Stake..Hummming because of loss of words..I Stand All Amazed of What our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son , has prepared for each of us... Hallelujah!!! 💕 💕 💕
Thank you so much for all the extra time you spend making these videos. You have opened the scriptures to me. It is such a great gift you have given me.
Thank you I really enjoyed listening to your podcast you bring great spirit into your lessons.
Brother Jared…the concept of the twenty four elders casting their crowns at the throne of our Father in Heavens throne is such an awesome illustration of the humility and sacred reverence that I seek to incorporate into my own journey here in mortality. This has even influenced the way in which I worship and serve in the Temple…even the faith in which I pray. I am so thankful for your insights into the truth of these Holy scriptures…We love you Jared! It has been so wonderful a blessing to our faith and understanding❤️😇. David
Thank you Brother Halverson, for allowing the entire world to audit your free course on the New Testament. This book of Revelation finally made beautiful sense to me!!! Thank you!!!! I loved this description of the long version of the Plan of Salvation with the Savior volunteering to do so much to save humanity. He is the lamb and the lion!
I have never understood the scriptures as much as I have since finding you brother
THANK YOU SO MUCH !
I’d like to thank you for your come follow me series. I had many scriptures classes while at BYU and at church but they always focus on the same stuff and skipped the same stuff. You’ve covered scriptures that no one else has and given me a better understanding because it’s the whole enchilada not just bites of different ingredients within the enchilada. Thank you
I want to share with you something I’ve done and if you like it please pass it on where you can. I’ve been trying to follow Pres Nelson’s council to think and act celestial. Especially with Israel’s problems right now. I’ve been praying for them but wanted to do more. I finally realized I could do more. I could put them on the temple prayer roll. I’ve chosen to put them on as. Israel. IDF. Hostages. And the people of Gaza. I know that we’re to pray for our enemies but I just can’t put Hamas on the prayer roll. Anyway if you like the idea would you share it around Thanks
One day you will be able to,
Think about those who forgave their abusers in different places in WW2.
I had a good list of things and people that I didn't like and hurt
He has indeed helped me take pain away.
Pray ,continue with your Small 🙏 23:07 23:08 23:09 23:11 23:11
Love. Love. Love. How could Calvin and Luther not see the Savior and the Father in these beautiful chapters? Thank you brother Halverson. Thank you.
Luther thought in German and Latin according to the Catholic history of the matters. Calvin followed Luther and others of rhe eras.
Revelation demystified. Tk u.
I loved all of this so very much! ❤❤❤
Thank you again for a beautiful lesson. you are truly a gifted teacher. I l look forward every week to study and ponder with you. Your great.
Aloha Brother Halverson. This lesson has really shaken me up. To realize how important to know our true self. I love the Savior who has always save me from my shortcomings... I live with him and am humble to live the life with the spirit. I will go with the Savior whatever he says. But my husband Paul is still not a member of the church. He has been on board with all the lessons scriptures with you and will not be a member of the church. I always feel sad because I want to be with him for all eternity. I love the gospel and I love the Savior who is always there for us. But we are both in our 80's..In Jan-2024 I will turn
89 yrs young. Paul will be 85 yrs young... We both do the scriptures everyday at 3;00 pm HTime. We both love the scriptures
but something is not right... We love you Brother Halverson. We look forward for the next lesson... Much Aloha the Higa's
it really is amazing to me that so many miss how this clearly states that not only was Christ plan A but also that he wants us to become his equals.
Amen to the comments and feelings of other listeners. So many times you have open my understanding to the holy scriptures, but this lesson part one and two have totally help me to be more in awe of my Savior, HIS love for us. I want to be better, more obedient, more like Him. I also pray for you, and all those wonderful Come Follow Me teachers and their families to be blessed for teaching us, I am sure it comes at a cost of sacrifice and consecration. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
Good morning Brother Jared Halverson, what a beautiful day, I am so happy to be a member in our church that has as much scriptures as Jesus Christ has allowed us to have, so far.
Then our current books we can gain knowledge from .
I enjoy the cities of the churches and how we can help see in modern culture, it's nomatter where you live, you ate having to check your own spiritual journey and keeping on the correct path and holding onto the Iron Rod.
I tend to use fantastic, fabulous, lovely, excellent, elegant.
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ has been looking after me since I was age 3.
I didn't really understand why he visited me,but this taller gentleman older than my brother.
Gave me a comforting message
Starting with, Don't be afraid I come to you with a message,
This is all you will get because it's personal and loving ❤️ 🙏
I will say I had a part wolf 🐺 dog on the bed 🛌, happy to see him,tail wagging and never grawl at him.
Normally any person would get that Starting to inter my bedroom or area of play.
He loves us All so much and I use to collect rainbows 🌈
Seen a white one, soo beautiful 😍 ❤🙏 18:44
Thanks for this Brother Halvorsen! I always hear Handel's Messiah when reading these chapters! I love them!
This was so awesome. Dr Halverson is helping me love the Book of Revelation. Can’t wait for the next video. I’m amazed that so many church members still think we are in the 6th seal.
The best way I can think of to thank you for all you have given to us (as one who has listened faithfully to your every broadcast, beginning with the D&C) I have been reading everyone else’s comments and sending “likes.” It’s clear we all feel the same way.
Thank you for your commitment to teaching us and thank you for the love you exude for the Lord and for those of us striving to learn of him through your incredible gift of teaching. Please feel of our love, thanks and prayers for you and your family!
Thank you for referencing the vision of President David O. Mckay. You recalled it happened on some boat trip. Respectfully may I add this was not just any boat trip. The vision was framed in the boat trip on the beautiful Samoan seas.
“We sailed all day on the smoothest sea of our entire trip…
Toward evening, the reflection of the afterglow of a beautiful sunset was most splendid. The sky was tinged with pink, and the clouds lingering around the horizon were fringed with various hues of crimson and orange…
Pondering still upon this beautiful scene, I lay in my berth at ten o’clock that night and thought to myself: Charming as it is, it doesn’t stir my soul with emotion as do the innocent lives of children, and the sublime characters of loved ones and friends…
I then fell asleep, and behind in vision…
Thank you ❤
This was so powerful! My heart is full. Thank you so much for helping me to see the power and beauty of these chapters.
Thank you for your inspired insights! I learned so much!
Among the songs about these chapters, I also love "Worthy is the Lamb", from Handel's Messiah, with lyrics taken directly from Revelation 5:12-13.
Oh my goodness that was so good. Thank you
You are amazing!
Glory!
I know you are called by the Lord to bring His scriptures to us. I go back to your lessons from years ago to recall the rest of what I learned about a certain passage or if seeing a scripture in a new light, I look to see what you have to say and pray about it to gain a deeper understanding of my scriptures. I don't know how to thank you for a life of scripture study that you freely share with those of us who could never amass that knowledge on our own. I felt the Spirit so strong in this lesson. It was SO precious to me. How do I thank you for something that there's no way I could ever thank you for...
I can't thank you enough, Brother Halverson, for opening my eyes to the glory of these chapters: to their meaning(s), to their call to us all to worship our Savior. I have loved all of your lectures on the NT, but this one, and the words of the Lord that it explicates, has really opened my heart and mind to the literally awesome message John wrote to us from Patmos. I can't wait for the following chapters and your help in opening their meanings to us.
I am so grateful that you were worthy to be a first class teacher! Your spirit soars with the Love and awe for our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ. Thanks for helping to renew my spirit and once again feel God’s love. Merry Christmas to you and your family❤🎄
If you think about Gods throne directly above the earths true magnetic north, it makes perfect sense that the northern lights, which are mostly emerald green, are literally the light of Jesus Christ. It fascinates me that people are now seeing the northern lights even farther out than where they usually shine (between 60 and 75 degrees latitude). His light is increasing and spreading the more we pray in awe of him and our Heavenly Father and the more we build temples and spread the gospel.
I LOOOVE the Allelujah song the choir sings! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I’m so grateful for your teaching, I learn so much each week. I’m enjoying learning Revelations, thank you
“The listeners of Unshaken were in AWE of Bro Hal’s knowledge” lol - Merry Christmas
Quite honestly ,that is the most beautiful lesson on Revelation that I have ever been privileged to sit through.
When you brought music into the conversation, I thought my heart would leap out of my chest!
I have this quote recorded in my notes: "The Holy Spirit sees how much difficulty mankind has in loving virtue, and how we prefer the lure of pleasure to the straight and narrow path. What does he do? He adds the grace of music to the truth of doctrine. Charmed by what we hear, we pluck the fruit of the words without realizing it.”
--St. Basil
"And Can It Be" ---one of my favorite, most tear -jerking pieces of music. I love the music, I love the message.
Thank you for all the time you spend on sharing your knowledge with us.
LOVE AND JOY FILL MY SOUL, THANKS BE TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER AND MY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
PS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH JARED, MY BROTHER AND FRIEND.
Wow, this has been amazing!!! I love love love God the Father and His son Jesus Christ so much more in AWE. THANK YOU
Christ is all “awe” not just “some” awe. ❤😂
I really appreciate you helping us understand more ❤️
This isn't the first time watching ❤🌎📱🎄🙏 1:44
Thanks so much for helping us in understanding these revelations ! Are there words to express how absolutely beautiful and breathtaking the visions of John are !?
Thank you so much for helping me and us understand God's word. I have tried for years but didn't get any of it. Thank you and please thank your family.❤.❤
If ten thousand was the largest number the Greeks could imagine... 10 wasn't the smallest, but it was small! So when Christ comes with His ten thousands (innumerable) but we will only suffer for 10 days (not 0 or 1... but a comprehensible number) ... that's comforting.
Is it possible that the 4 beasts surrounding God's Throne also provide constant Security for all Divine Reality. All knowing, full of all Actions needed. WORSHIP!!! and SECURITY!!! & JOY!!!
I got thinking 12 apostles in Isreal and then the 12 from the America's
Both having to help be judge's for the later days?
I love it when we are studying together and we are lifted up to think about.
And we can turn to D and C section 77❤ 27:28
See Tabernacle Choir singing "Unfold Ye Portals Everlasting":
As I was listening to your commentary about chapters 4 and 5 I thought it was like the council in heaven was like a prophecy of things to come on the earth. Where my mind went was the tribes of Israel and where they were grouped, for travel and battle and around the tabernacle. As I thought about it, I think more, they were doing it just because they were told to do it that way, like when Adam and Eve offered sacrifice not understanding why. The house of Israel stand in the order of heaven, not knowing why, just obeying. Are the things that happen on earth really fulfilling prophecy or just reflecting what we really already knew before? Whispers of heaven peek through the veil, prophets whisper it to us, then we see it like the veil is parted, really just remembering what we knew before creation even happened.
This was awesome! ... and we have chips, awesome! 🤣

Interesting that in the 1970’s l
Led Zeppelin had a song with the lyrics “And she’s buying the stairway to heaven.” What a perverse thought that one could spend money to buy what is priceless.
Brother Halverson, please listen to the song Heaven's window by Peter Kater, it is so beautiful.
Is chapter 5:6 the same way of saying Jesus is all powerful all knowing all loving?
Took me forever to track it down, but the reference he makes at 21:48 is (I think) 1 Chronicles 24:19 (see v. 4-19). In case anyone has been trying to find it.
1:16... How do we sing...? Handel's Messiah would be a good start!
🌹🕊🤲🏾🕊
I am wondering if the word "worship" is a more descriptive form of "extreme love"?
What about the 7 angels in each of the churches?
Abdicate the throne? Is that the phrase maybe ?:)
I didn’t know that’s where casting crowns got their name! So cool!
I’ve been confused about the color of jasper stone. Depending on where you look it’s red most of the time because of the iron that is in it
Here’s what Wikipedia says: “Jasper, an aggregate of microgranular quartz and/or cryptocrystalline chalcedony and other mineral phases,[1][2] is an opaque,[3] impure variety of silica, usually red, yellow, brown🎉 or green in color; and rarely blue. The common red color is due to iron(III) inclusions. “
Too funny because I use not just awesome a LOT, a LOT. I say AWESOME SAUCE!
24 seats… if the highest priesthood is shared between husband and wife, that could indicate spouses seated with them.
21:50 - interestingly, those verses are in 1 Chr chapter 24. :)
Don’t forget “dude!”
Dear Brother, be careful how you phrase questions like "do you see what John is trying to tell us?" When you know that John was the faithful witness and recorder, the question must always be "do you see what God was trying to tell John and us? The right question has a much greater chance of giving the right answer. It is a fair question to ask what Paul or Peter meant in their epistles, butJohn was given the revelation; he didn't invent it.
I suggest Bro Halverson means, can you "envision" what John is trying to tell us, that which had been conveyed to him by Jesus Christ. It s matter of hierarchy. Jesus Christ to John to his fellow servants (us).
No one is implying that John hasn't received the revelation or that he invented it, its just that John wants us to "understand" what Jesus Christ revealed to Him and wants the readers not only of the Epistle at the time of writing but to us in a future dispensation.
Let us not forget that Peter, Paul and John received their instruction and teachings not only by personal instruction from the Mortal Messiah but by Revelation from the Resurrected Lord.
Anything that is "revealed", is removing the veil to expose the truth, whether it be in person or from Heaven. They can be the witness and the recorder and still convey to the faithful as though they were speaking on behalf of deity.
What is the relevance of the synagogue of Satan in today’s world?
They are the Mormon church
Which is a distant branch of the AshkeNAZI Jews
The fake Jews of revelation
Jesus created all things, Rev 4:11, but according to Mormonism, Jesus was created in heaven by the Father and a Mother God, how did he create himself, if He is the creator of all things. Jesus Christ is the creator and was never created, He always was. Jesus WAS, and IS, and IS to COME! Rev 4:8, this means Jesus was in the beginning before the foundation of the entire world, NEVER CREATED!!
This religion and ALL RELIGIONS are so very wrong
U try to understand the word of god WITHOUT the holy spirit
And u are led down a dark abyss of confusion
The 24 elders are the 12 prophets of the OT
And the 12 disciples from the NT
The lamb is NOT christ
The rider on the white horse, is NOT Christ
The one like a son of man to rule all nations - the Lamb on the throne
The male child born to the woman, Eve , in revelation 12
Is ABEL
Faithful & True
