I like how this shows that Laman and Lemuel had moments of pure, sincere repentance and desire to do good. Their main downfall was not enduring to the end. They never truly learned from their mistakes or fully put off the natural man.
Yes. I like how a lot of people emphasize that the only time they didn’t complain when traveling back and forth between the valley of Lemuel and jerusalem was when they were going to get wives😂. They definitely showed that here. They were talking joyfully in this, which I really liked.
There is a profound lesson that most people are unaware of regarding this sequence of events. The Lord commanded Lehi to take his family into the wilderness. He then commanded the boys to go back and get the brass plates. Then he commanded them to go back and get Ishmael‘s family so that they get wives to raise children.
Remember, the Book of Mormon was written for us in our day. This sequence shows an important order in regards to our individual salvation. Our relationship to God comes first. We have to do what he says first. Our families are second. There is an order to all things.
While it may seem harsh, even if our family decides to follow some other way, we are to follow what we know is right.
If they had gotten Ishmael's family on the same trip as the one when they got the brass plates there would not have been this distinct order shown and it would have resulted in confusion regarding this issue.
Now it is clear and there are many people today that need to follow this example and set their houses in order. Too many are allowing themselves to be found outside of the church because their families have left for a variety of reasons and they decided to remain with them instead of stick with the mainstream of the church.
I myself thinking the same thing as far as this is for our day and these things are to help us grow and understand the gospel. I thought when reading about all these accounts, wow! what a tough life and journey, when all in all I believe most of us here on earth today have it just as bad or if not, worst...
Kelly Smith You could even take the lesson to be that those who are young and/or single need to set themselves firmly in the gospel first before going out to find their spouse. To do so otherwise would put them on a shaky foundation.
I love how this depicts them as real people with real emotions and reactions and different personalities. They're not just words on a page; they were real people. They struggled, they argued, they prayed, they got blisters on their feet from walking.
As a side note, the actor who plays Nephi is quite handsome. :)
Mike No, it brings the book to life, as movies are meant to do
The acting is sooo good! I keep rewatching Nephi telling his brothers what’s up! Such conviction! I love how they are bringing these stories to life! I also love the way that Laman and Lemuel aren’t total losers, but sometimes are obedient and nice. Makes it even more real and even more sad. People aren’t just black and white when it comes to the influence of the Lord. ❤️
I look forward to every Friday now. Because of these films
this is my second netflix
It's every Friday? Thanks for saying that!
My heart leaped with joy when you showed Sariah reading the brass plates! Felt so right that she would want to study them, too!
I was surprised that she could read?
This one made me cry. I couldn't believe it. It happened in this video the way that I have imagined it all these years in my heart. I love the way that the videos make Laman and Lemuel real as they are and not a caricature of evil as I have caught as hints from so many. I understand what they were feeling. I love Nephi and the actor did such a great job capturing his humility. It made me cry. Jesus taught that the gospel can divide families. How hard is it that Lehi and his family went through this hard trial? It would be hard for anyone who had to go through what they went through.
Would I be Nephi? I don't know. I hope I would. Laman and Lemuel were angry, but they loved their family.
This sums up this whole series perfectly!! Well said!
x2
I also love the portrayal of Laman and Lemuel. They do rebel, but they also feel not when the task is completed (I'm recalling the scene where they grab Zoram. Laman's actor did a stellar job there.
... Even how Nephi kept nagging them, just like a little brother would. Right or wrong, when little brothers dig in, it is hard to keep your cool
I'd be Sam
So beautiful when Nephi forgives his brothers!
That part made be break down and cry.
Mike Wow, you really changed peoples minds with that comment! That wasn’t just senseless rudeness at all
Including Sam ?
This is the family-vacation-argument episode. It doesn't get any more real than that.
I dont think families moving is a vacation.
Being farmers it was the only vacation we ever had
@@kateym7836 :(
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Lehi: “Go and get the brass plates.”
Laman and Lemuel: “ughhhhh dadddd”
Lehi: “The Lord has said you should take Ishmael’s daughters to wife.”
Laman and Lemuel: “I WILL GO AND DO THE THINGS THE LORD HAS COMMANDED!!”
😂😂😂🙏🙌🏻
😅😅
😂😂😂
It's more funny your comments do not match the story.
Yep, pretty much
The book of Mormon is true!!! I'm sooo grateful my kids will have these videos to help them understand the scriptures as they get older. Sooo many amazing well done church videos if you go to the right source. all the new testament videos with Christ are very well done too!
One thought came to my mind, a analogy. We sit in Sacramental, smile and feel happy about the Gospel( like Lemuel speaking about a family and a wife). Even feeling that we sin after, sometimes so fast( like binding Nephi). The most important word here is "Remember". If we don't put effort in remember the things that we know and had experienced, we will always coming back to the same mistakes.
These videos help me to read the book of mormon.i read the book mormon by chapters then I watch the video ,it actually helps me to understand,I am upto 1 nephi chapter 8 just finished reading it in the book of mormon now waiting for the video.👍👍
Without Faith even Seeing an Angel of God isn't Enough to Change One's Heart.
At times I have felt all alone trying to help my family on the right path. This story is relatable to us in our day more than before. Our families are constantly targeted by the adversary every Day. To see Nephi’s face in the sand and dirt with his body bound by ropes, he didn’t complain, but prayed by Faith. How many times when we fall to the ground or our pushed do we pray in faith?
I agree, that was such a powerful moment. When I'm reading it's hard to visualize Nephi as a normal person with weakness, and that came through so clearly in this clip.
Great portrayal of the miracle of the loosening of the bands, and I really love the way they've showed how wonderful & important these faithful women were.
I agree. I was wondering how they were going to do that part while it was leading in. I was imagining that he would tug and burst throught the rope. I like how they just loosened gradually and it was not an explosion of a miracle. It reminded me that miracles happen all the time in the smallest ways and that we have to be prepared to listen and recognize the most subtle of miracles.
It was an interesting twist. Basically, the ropes were just poorly tied. Makes sense; they tied him in a hurry and were angry. But he couldn't get out unless he was calm enough to intelligently maneuver free. His prayers didn't set him free so much as they calmed him enough to do so himself. Faith conquers fear, and fear keeps us trapped. It's a great parallel.
I always pictured Nephi as hulking his way through the rope. I really liked this portrayal too. Another possible way that the Lord could answer the prayers.
There is a great lesson here in how Nephi was released from his bonds. He prayed in faith for strength to 'burst' his bonds. Instead, his bonds were loosed. When we pray in faith for a blessing from God, we often want it in our way. Instead, He blesses us in His way. We must also accept that the blessing comes in His timing.
I found it so funny when Laman mentioned he had seen a angel, but did not mentioned why 😂😂😂😂😂
He testified of seeing an angel then promptly tried to kill his brother because he lacked faith.
Wouldn't do much good to gain favor with your future father-in-law by confessing to abuse now would it?
😂😂😂 they all tried so hard to convince Ishmael. Laman did not hesitate while trying to convince Ishmael as he did while trying to convince Laban.
That's funny!
moded.......
I am grateful none of my family vacations have ever become this heated :) great video!
I remember when my family were driving from Savannah, Ga to seattle we had a stop in Arizona and my brother use a hot seatbelt to burn my arm
@@nolinpowe
Ouch
I loved this so much! It really helps me to see things from everybody's perspective. There are probably more times when I act like Laman and Lemuel than Nephi. But hey, life is about changing and being better, and some day hopefully I can become like Nephi! :) Can't wait for next week's video!
Timothy Elliott I feel the same - i feel that I’m more like Laman and Lemuel than Nephi!
They are doing such a great job of these. It almost makes me mad seeing these and realizing how terrible all the other BOM videos have been up to this point. I have genuinely been excited the last two Fridays.
When reading the BOM I always try to put myself the place of those that were there. These video have brought the BOM to life for me. I LOVE these videos, to "see" what they felt, what they went thru...these videos are brilliant...LOVE them...thank you for all you did to bring The Book of Mormon to life for me..
Nephi always confronts his brothers knowing there is a good chance they will give him a hard time. That takes a ton of courage. Good for you Nephi👍
These are great videos! True to the written account without too much hollywood. Just enough added to make it connect.
Laman and Lemuel you guys really need to see LDS Family Services and fast. 😉
I love watching these. It gives me a real perspective of the Book of Mormon. I watch these videos every morning before school. These are a blessing
Nephi was so faithful! He's still an example for us today.
@Mike God told him to. It is better for one to perish, than a nation dwindle in disbelief. No more out there than a man parting the ocean or a Virgin giving birth. Faith is always required.
Happy General Conference morning everyone! Anyway, I, too, am loving these videos! I cannot wait for every Friday now! :-)
These videos help us to understand that even the most of righteous people an their families go through hardship and be wicked. I love how they help you see that these people were real an what they went through is real too.
I love the flirting looks around the dinner table.
Me too! I thought it was a nice touch.
Don't you think that they growing up might have been told they were to marry?! I do. Didn't think about it before though.
Dang, I didn't notice that
Me too! That was so great!😂😂
Once again, WELL DONE! Once again it brings to mind that we never catch the Lord unaware he has a plan and if we listen we will gain the best not just the good, or better, but the best of the best.
The only mission Laman and Lemuel was happy about 😂
I guess this was the only time their "visionary" father was in his right mind. (Speaking facetiously of course).
And...I wonder what Lehi and Sariah said to Nephi after seeing the marks on his wrists from the rope.
"Nephi, what are those marks on your wrists?"
"Oh, nothing mother, nothing father."
Then imagine Lehi with a skeptical look on his face, a look that says "uh-hun, right."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Until the journey back
Still marks on the wrist have to be more intense to be visible 3 days later
hahaha
Watching this taught me that many of us are like Laman and Lemuel in this moment. We allow our hearts to become far from God and when we finally realize that we've "done a great wrong," we feel the need to seek forgiveness.
Thank you for investing time on these series of videos of the Book of Mormon. Thank you!
Yay! It’s great to see a version played out in this way. Brings some of the storyline (and attendant sacrifices) into focus.
This really brings the account of when Nephi & his brothers go to get Ishmael & their family to live with all the emotions they faced, it helps me to understand what each person experienced as they followed the Lord's counsel to go to the American continent.
The look on Sariah's face when she realizes she will have grandchildren. :-)
I've studied the Book of Mormon all of my life but these videos bring an entirely different perspective. They are a great blessing. Thanks to all who have been part of this work.
This made me love more the Book of Mormon ever than before😍😍😍
These are going to make the best 3 hour epic one day
I hate one thing..
That this video is 12 minutes while the others have been 25.
One thing I love...
Ishamel didn't just do it, they looked for revelation and confirmation to know as well that Lehi did not lie.
Another thing lol...
Where are nephi's sisters! O,o
Chay Warburton I don’t know I think they’re actually first mentioned at the actual moment of separation of the Nephites from the Lamanites in the Book of Mormon
The text doesn't specify when the sisters were born. 2 Nephi 5:6 is years later. One possibility that the text and the videos allow for is that they were previously married into ishmael's family. So you could consider them now part of the combined group. One way of looking at it...
@@freebrownies that, or because Sariah had children while in the wilderness, it's possible that Jacob and Joseph and Nephi's sisters we're born during their eight years in the wilderness.
@@freebrownies THAT makes SO MUCH SENSE!!! That they were already married into Ishmael's family--IE; "Keep the family together"....and, Ishmael has pretty daughters they all grew up with....
In 1 Nephi 2:5, Nephi describes his family as "consist[ing] of [his] mother, Sariah, and [his] elder brothers, who were Laman, Lemuel, and Sam." No mention of sisters was made. I understand why people might get confused when references are made to sisters later, but as has been mentioned, it's possible that any later reference to sisters referred to his sisters-in-law.
May the world watch and feel of the love and spirit of God, even as much as they come unto Christ and learn all truths being baptized in his name.
Next Week: Tree of Life!
i'm sooooo excited for this one!!
So excited for more of these!
cant wait
Yeey
It goes to show how relationships with our own families are like. Different circumstances, but yet the same.
I believed it is an inspired story that those who hardly understand the scripture written can be understand through this video. Even children may able get it through their actions. Thank you for the work program of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints .
My kids would complain when we took them on a long journey. In our air conditioned automobile with electric windows and comfortable seats, with nice smooth paved roads and treats and cold refreshing beverages of every kind. Yeah, I don't think the past generations with have any pity on us.
I am hoping you will add some numbers to the titles so we can see what order to watch them in. It is confusing, even if you are fully active in the Church, and most particularly if you are not a member but want to watch these awesome videos. #1, Lehi Warns the People.
I love these videos. How grateful I am for the time and talents of the people who have worked so hard to put them together. Great actors. Great costuming and music. Thank you!!!
This is film puts the characters of the Book of Mormon so real. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I love its teachings. They have changed my life. This story makes me think about the problems and fights I had with my siblings. About the miracle of forgiveness. And why the Lord has commanded us to forgive. And repentance. How we need to repent every day.
This is what always made my week the best 😍😍😁. Thank you for this .
LOVE these videos! It was great to see Laman talking about seeing an angel, just how I imagine he would. Great interpretation, great videos. Can't say enough about them.
We must be thankful and appreciate their faith (even on those complaining) because the road was tough and extremelly difficult, but they didnt give up; great actors transmiting the real emotions, its a gem, hope our Heavenly Father rewards them for their sacrifice
These are actual events and people who lived and worshiped of which I am grateful for. That we have their record today. I love the Book of Mormon
These are so great! I wish these came out every day instead of every Friday
Very well made!! I love this!
Suddenly we're in Episode 3 It gets better every week. Brought tears to my eyes this one at the point, Nephi said "Oh Lord according to my faith which is in thee " made me look at my own faith.
Sam's reaction at 6:30 I DIED he is literally so done
😂😂😂 He just says their names 😂😂
lol like "um guys.....oh nevermind"
Whoa. Hey, I'm Matthew, your former roommate's brother!
Weird place to meet up, right?
@@matthewmitchell3457 I guess😂
This scene has seriously hit me. The part where Laman realizes what he’s done and pleading for forgiveness from Lehi is where it has truly touched my heart.
I smell the memes brewing with the dinner table scene
I love how these videos portray how real the characters were and not as if it was JUST a show with cheesy lines but it just feels authentic and genuine yanno?
10:52
My favorite moment it’s so sweet to see the group hug
I never cried reading this story in the Book of Mormon, yet I know the book is true.
I also cried watching Nephi, Laman, and their brothers embrace. They really did an shaving job capturing these stories and the emotion. Very well done.
well, that is a too much short one but very painfull.... poor Nephi !
Good I love it now I understand it better and with the help of elder Ford from Colorado On is mission in Fontana. He woke me up I’m for the Book of Mormon!
This is a very good portrayal of Ishmael and his family joining Lehi and his family.
i love this episode...it made me cry...when nephi prayed to the Lord for his deliverance against from his elder brothers!
and the time when laman ask forgiveness to nephi and they all kneeled down!
Great job! Acting and costumes are very good.
Me encantan los videos no puedo esperar a la otra semana!!!
My older sister in fact would make cookies for me with grass and bugs in them. She locked me inside a suitcase at least once.
I understand Nephi’s pain.
Ohhhh! Hugs to you! My brother was a big, uncomfortable tease too. He's in prison now. Really. It makes you wonder what Laman and Lemuel were like as little boys.....they are classic Narcissists! If it suits them, they will do it. If it doesn't, nope. Love these comments!
well done and very real, I hope my family will respond and read the whole book for it is true..
0:51 Lehi here is reading from right to left. Love that attention to detail.
thanks for pointing that out
Ishmael ! Thank-you !!
I love seeing my favorite stories come to life. My friend just got a Book of Mormon, and these videos would be a great activity.
Something I like about these is that it shows what I thought about Laman and Lemuel for a long time. It never really portrayed them as evil people in the Book of Mormon, just confused. These videos do a good job at showing that they were good people, that it just takes them longer to understand. I can't wait to see how this plays out when they become the Lamanites and what they will do for that part
Another awesome episode!
Oh my stars oh how I love this. It has brought tears to my eyes I felt the spirit so strongly struggling so much emotionally thank you so much I love it
You and me both.
I love everything!!! I can't wait for the next video!!
Love these videos! My family loves them too. Thank you!
The way that this portrays Zoram is how I pictured him.
In this video we see how Laman and Lemuel got more discouraged because the other people were also complaining. This makes me think that it is important that we surround ourselves with uplifting people and avoid being in toxic relationships that might pull us down.
Also, I love how reading the comments section and commenting is like being in a Come, Follow Me lesson
Nothing can replace the scriptures themselves but the images that these videos create and the characterization lends reality to ALL the characters. Seeing them and what they go through deepens my ability to empathize.
Powerfully and beautifully done!
I can so much relate of this video after I read the book.
I'm trying to catch up on the videos however since they're not numbered and there's gaps in chapters between episodes, it takes longer than necessary to figure out the order. What's the harm in numbering the videos in the title? They are very well done and I'm excited to watch them.
Thank you
Most excellent videos. Very grateful.
I like that Laman and Lemuel are shown as men with weaknesses, but having good in them when they choose to tap into it.
This reminds me of Joseph, as Nephi.
The other earlier episode made me think David, as Nephi also.
Such a powerful chapter.
The book of Mormon videos shows so much the strength of some people and sobering emotions that can do overtake other people at the time of trails. These other people simply do not have the staying power of following what the Lord wants and need from us. The book of Mormon videos shows and teaches not only what most of us need to learn in this life but that trails are the strengthening power that LEDs us to Jesus Christ. Not just the easy way of life Lemuel and Laman had, which was created in Jerusalem for them by their father. Wealth and ease can cancer the soul into a false life were no trails seem to touch them. The children turn deaf ears to prayers and teaching of these wealthy parents. They see and feel only want what ease plus wealth can provide for them nothing else. Ease and Wealth are the cause of so much heartache because seems to strip away life lessons and destroy the individual with false ideas of how life should be lived. Trails in this life teaches us so much about strength and enduring to the end of our lives.
Leaving jeruselum: complaining the whole time
Going to get the plates: complaining the whole time
Going back to get wives: I WILL GO AND DO THE THINGS WHICH THE LORD COMMANDS!!
...and also mentions that they saw an angel, but not the reason why the angel came
it's really great, the only critique i have of the lines is you can tell the switch between scriptural language and ordinary language. tough job though trying to write scriptural language. but thanks for this episode, my knees hurt too when Nephi was dragged on his knees lol
I think the scriptural language only causes discomfort at the beginning but once you realise that the lines chosen to remain as they are in scripture are lines that teach gospel principles and doctrine, then you'll get used to it. On the other hand, I love how they added certain lines that you would imagine to have been said in the narrative of the accounts, rather than opting for no extra addition other than that found in scripture.
There's got to be a way to quote scriptural text and not have it sound like scriptural text. I understand, these accounts have been given to US from their experiences as a warning to what can happen. Both from their righteous acts, and the consequences of their misbehaviour.
Great vids!
3:39
If anybody's ever sat in a situation similar to this... as an emissary of the Lord, eating dinner and teaching doctrine to a collective family, and then extending a commitment: only the commitment isn't to be baptized or demonstrate obedience to a certain principle, but rather to take their whole family and depart into the wilderness. Ishmael must have been a man of tremendous faith: a golden individual indeed.
Oh, it's getting shorter every week. Sad! We want at least 20 minutes long video please :)
MORE....MOREEEEEEEEEE
Very well done. I cried as they bound and beat Nephi. I've read it countless times, and was not pleased with how they treated him, but this makes it even more real actual tears. Grateful they apologized and Nephi forgave them. The actor of Laman really does portray him well. They all do really. But I think Laman and Lemuel can be the most misunderstood at times.
There's something...in my eyes.
Excuse me for a moment.
*walks off*
Around 6:40 - 6:51, Nephi is TRULY standing for truth and righteousness here... he said something that he needs to set an example to his oldest brother, Laman. Then Laman's reaction is similar to what every reluctant older person would say to a young missionary when they are about to reject what he/she heard... "How old are you? 18? 19? What do you know?!" ...or "How dare you talk to me like that?"
But God is no respecter of persons... no wonder the missionary age got lowered so that He can show His power among the "least of the brethren."
I felt the pain of Nephi.. I want to cry.. 😢
9:55 Laman and Lemuel please listen to me. WOW. That was powerful. He's been dragged, threatened, beaten by them and that's how he responds? He truly is a man of God.
Really love the story the book of mormon.
