Nothing in the Old Testament is more critical to understand than the Abrahamic Covenant (other than the Atonement of Christ). Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and what is meant with the term, "House of Israel" will unlock so many other scriptures, the Temple ordinances, your Patriarchal Blessing, etc. We cover the entire story clear up to our present day and how God continues to fulfill this covenant today.
This is the audio portion of a course that includes pictures, downloadable quotes, 360 video footage, and much more. Access the course here: https://ensignpeakacademy.com/holy-land-scripture-series/

This series is a great companion to the "Come Follow Me" program for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or for any seeker of light and truth. We advocate that understanding the history of Jerusalem and the Holy Land will unlock the power of the scriptures and add tremendous insight and understanding, especially to the prophecies of the last days. [Our next season/series will be a special one focusing on deciphering the prophecies of the Last Days] Stay Tuned!
PODCAST and COURSE DESCRIPTION: In this podcast and accompanying course, students embark on a scriptural journey through the most important doctrines and stories from the first 4,000 years of the earth’s spiritual history. They will also enjoy the insights that come from a visit to Jerusalem and the Holy Land through the accompanying 360 video footage from the first ever Virtual Tour of the Holy Land with an LDS Church of Jesus Christ perspective. (This course is sponsored by Dr. Clark Anderson and Anderson Tours who have over 40 years of experience taking groups to the Holy Land including groups for Ensign Peak Academy). It is ideal for those who would like to visit the Holy Land someday and also for those who know they will never get to go but would still like to benefit from the insights of a visit.
Scriptural understanding comes naturally once a student becomes acquainted with the key historical stories and doctrines associated with the Holy Land and Gods interactions with His covenant people. Taking this course will provide a unique doctrinal foundation that will help unlock your understanding of all subsequent scripture and especially the challenging prophecies of the Last Days (2nd Coming, Armageddon, Millennium, etc.). It will put you in a unique position to understand the Abrahamic Covenant, the House of Israel, the Gathering of Israel, the Temple, the Abomination of Desolation, prophecies of Isaiah and many other important doctrines. It is a spiritual and scriptural feast and fits in ideally with what President Romney calls, “The most important knowledge in the Universe”.
The overall objective in this series is to strengthen your relationship and understanding of God, the Scriptures, and in turn ourselves.
“Knowledge of ‘the only true God, and Jesus Christ’ (John 17:3) is the most important knowledge in the Universe…”
President Marion G. Romney of the First Presidency (“Except a Man Be Born Again,” Ensign, Nov. 1981, 14)
