Read Mosiah 8:17
17 But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known.
Object Lesson
Go on a treasure hunt around your house and look for things that help you to see things clearly. Some ideas might be glasses, binoculars, magnifying glasses, flashlights, telescopes, microscopes, etc. Just like these things help us to see things that are hidden, a seer is a person authorized of God to see with spiritual eyes things that God has hidden from the world. He is a revelator and a prophet.
Lesson
In 2022, we studied the great prophets, seers, and revelators in the Old Testament, such as Adam, Noah, Moses, Israel, Daniel, David, Joseph, all the way to Malachi.
In 2023, we studied the teachings of Jesus Christ, Himself. We studied His birth, His life, His death, and His resurrection. After His ascension into Heaven, Jesus left the keys of the Priesthood with His apostles. We studied some of their words, and the words of newly called apostles, like Saul who became Paul. We ended the year on the revelations given to Jesus’s apostle, named John.
Many people believe that after all of Jesus’s apostles died or went into hiding, that revelation ended, and God and Jesus Christ, no longer speak to us today.
In the Spring of 1820, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. Over the course of his lifetime, the Priesthood keys were restored. These very keys were the very authority by which Jesus Christ performed miracles, sealed things in Heaven and on Earth, performed miracles, and gave us sacred ordinances. The Heavens opened and new revelations began to pour from Heaven. Today, we can pray and receive personal revelations.
Joseph Smith was the first prophet and seer called in the Latter Days. The First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve are sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators. President Russell M. Nelson holds all Priesthood Keys and is the prophet and seer that guides The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the world. Let’s look at some of the things that President Russell M. Nelson has taught in the past few years:
Rejoice in the Gifts of Priesthood Keys (April 2024)
Think Celestial! (October 2023)
Peacemakers Needed (April 2023)
The Answer is Always Jesus Christ (April 2023)
Focus on the Temple (October 2022)
What is True? (October 2022)
The Power of Spiritual Momentum (April 2022)
The Correct Name of the Church (October 2018)
The Come Follow Me Program was introduced in June 2018, and the church meetings were changed from being 3 hours every Sunday, to being 2 hours every Sunday, so that more time could be spent making our home a place for gospel learning and worship.
We have been the recipients of so many amazing revelations and the outpouring of Heaven, because we have a prophet and seer that knows the past and future, is bringing hidden things to light, and is helping us to know things, which otherwise could not be known.
