Explore an archaeological discovery that has been more than interesting to students of the Book of Mormon. You'll learn about the Hebrew writing found in this cave that have been dated 600 B.C. Even the name of the place, Khirbet' Beit Lei, has been carried down for thousands of years and means literally in the Semitic languages, Ruin of the House of Lehi. This film presents a story that will be interesting to anyone who seeks the roots of the Book of Mormon. This find could very well be in the general area where Father Lehi lived before leaving Palestine to come to America.

Talmage in writing Jesus the Christ devoted nearly half of his book to the story of the last days in Christ's ministry.

In one of the most exhaustive, scripture based, presentations on the Atonement, respected gospel scholar W. Cleon Skousen opens our understanding of the breadth of the Jesus’ sacrifice and how we can use the Atonement in our lives. This speech, originally recorded on December 18, 1980, was at the invitation of Mission President Orville Matheny to over 200 missionaries at an all-mission conference of the Dallas, Texas mission.
Some of the most exciting scriptures to Latter-day Saints are those that reveal events about the future. Dr. Skousen will have you completely fascinated as you look out over the Mount of Olives toward the Golden Gate and the Temple Mount and hear the stories about these places. These are the scenes of some of the most exciting prophetic events where the Temple will be rebuilt and where Christ will descend upon the Mount of Olives to save His people, the Jews. These places will become real as you actually see them and then hear about their significance in prophecy.
