Evidence of LDS Temple Garments Found in the Dead Sea Scrolls! 

I am in awe of the breadth and depth of Don Bradley’s knowledge.

My friend sent me this video. It’s my first time watching. I thought I’d add a little more insight to your information on the garment and taking upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ in wearing it. A few months ago my husband and I were pondering on the new changes with the temple video and wording. We had done an endowment Saturday night. Sunday morning we had church. And we were sitting as they were doing the sacrament. And something stuck out to us that we had never noticed before until we had been pondering on the endowment video. The sacrament prayer of the bread. “and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son”. It hit us each week we covenant to be willing and prepare ourselves to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ. It’s a weekly preparation that we do and then when we actually go through the temple it’s at that point that we physically take upon ourselves the Name of Christ. They are 2 ordinances that are directly tied together. One to prepare ourselves through repentance and then two where we actually covenant and physical take upon us the name of Christ. This was one more mind blowing things to us that hit us like a ton of bricks and I thought I’d share it here. 25:35

What's really cool about the compass and square is that architecturally, geometrically, constructionally, they are the beginning of all creation. From the beginning of geometry if you can draw a straight line with a ruler, and a circle with a compass, you can Construct ANYTHING AT ALL. All of our modern knowledge of geometry, architecture, building, creation, design, etc is based on straight lines and circles. With a compass and a square you can eventually build whatever you want. They are the fundamental tools of all creation And I think that is super cool.

Putting on the protection of the Saviour.... mind blown...

"The tetragrammaton is symbolically on the garment." "No way!" "Yahweh."

it's not that smith got it from the masons, it's that the masons got it from ancient holy symbols.

This is the topic I love to hear, The Signs of the temple garmet is very symbolic, square is the 4 quarters of the earth represents mortal life, Compas is the circle is the celestial realm, representing presence of God, if you have paper draw a circle inside of the square, or square inside of the square. Living in a mortal life in a presence of God through temple, and wearing the sacred garments of God.

This was good. Wished you'd let Don Bradley talk more.

Also. Something I always found to be cool. I think all the symbols on the garments create another symbol. The compass, the square, the upper line, and the lower line. Put these symbols together and you will get the seal of Solomon. I would really like this idea explored on this channel. That would be really cool!

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, within the Temples represent Christ and how it is through Him we are saved from death AND through following His commandments and our covenants, we can and WILL be saved and live within the presence of the Father, as families, for Time and all Eternity!

I think I am speaking for the masses. Don Bradley, we love you. Speaking for the Antis " Damn you Don" hahah. Keep it up my brother.

I just love Don Bradley and his insights! He is such an amazing knowledge source! I appreciate his openness and honesty! Sometimes the truth is hard but it’s one thing we can’t change but can grow from. I’m trying to do just that in my own life! Thanks for sharing your journey and knowledge with us!

Thank you, Don Bradley and Jonah Barnes! ❤

It would be cool if we could learn stuff like this in church!

Thank you for this podcast. So glad that you are starting to focus more on the importance of gospel.

What a great thing to listen to as I fold my freshly-cleaned garments.

Wow, the 4th RU-vid channel I’ve found that isn’t bashing Mormons. I love it ❤🎉😊

There is a lot in ancient Egypt about the temple on the side wall of their temple that is very apparent. The Lord is showing His truths.

It really is quite amazing how evidence for the restored gospel is found everywhere.

I keep getting barked at by old people for trying to tell members (in private settings) about Don’s connection on the spectacles and markings, I’m sick of it!

This is a super “cool” insight study on garments. I treasure them more now. Thank you.

Along with the change made to the clothing initiatory wording a year ago, this is yet another mind-blowing Temple insight from Don!

Definitely makes me want to never take garments for granted. Excellent content 👏🏻

It strikes me that this is all true, and another thing to remember is "...he who is tithed shall not be burned (at Christ's coming)", and how will they know who qualified not to be burned? It is they who wear the Temple garment because they have paid tithing to qualify to be worthy of Temple blessings!

This episode blew my mind. Great job Jonah! ❤

You know, I personally have always believed that there was a connection between the Templars and Free Masons and the treasure that the Templars found during the Crusades. What if that treasure was one of the lost books that have the teaching concerning the temple endowment?!

Thank you guys ❤, this is amazing!!!

Lived in China for 5 years. For some reason I had found the funerary curtains they display, or maybe a friend showed me. We cannot talk religion with Chinese people but I immediately recognized them for what they were and told my friend I could not talk about it, but they were very, very important. There is an ancient wise man in China named Fuxi. This is about him, He has a familiar name in the Bible, but I forget which one of the ancient patriarchs he is. I have been to his city and heard how he brought the importance of families and marriage to the people of China.

One thing to note is that Adam and Eve, though I believe yes they were naked in the expected context, I believe they also were naked in that they had sinned, and no longer "clothed" in the innocence they once had. When Satan points out that they are naked, he is pointing out that God can see what they did, and therefore they were ashamed for what they did. When Jesus, then Jehovah, made them coats of skin, He is covered up their transgression, just as He does with all of our sins with His Atonement.

It is amazing how much of this stuff is so evident everywhere!

That was maybe the single coolest video y’allv ever made

Interesting discussion. The scripture is also replete with references to being clothed with power. So not only is the garment a symbol of covering, but also a symbol of spiritual power.

I wish these videos were longer! 30 mins is just not long enough! ❤️

Great show guys!! Super interesting!!

Consider this, the "Coat of Many Colors" , could also be the "Garment of Many Colors" (Or markings). It may have been the Priestly Garment of Adam, passed down to Joseph, the same Joseph who was sold into Egyptian slavery. It was one of the Sins of Nimrod, who had stolen the holy garment, and paraded in public with it, not having the authority to posses, or let alone wear it.

Love this insight Don!

X also means final. X being formed by the eclipse on April 8. X has so many meanings! Very cool insights you share about the temple garment. Nice job!

Wow. I love the stuff I learn from you guys. ❤😊

X Thsnk you

Excellent episode!!!! The Whole Armour of God is also an investiture, down to every item of an endowment. But one observation: 25:50 Cardon!!!!

AWESOME VIDEO AND INFO!!🎉🎉

Great episode my friends.

5:47 Holy! I hope I'm not revealing too much, but I just recognized the token in this picture!!! He's also holding the emblems of the token in the correct hands too! This token is also used during the prayer! Only those that have been through the ceremony will make sense of this I think, I hope! :D Matt 7:7-11 This is in reverse order from the temple ceremony! You ask 3 times, you seek His presence 3 times, and you knock 3 times! The token in the picture shown are v9-10.

You don't have to go to Desd Sea Scrolls or anyplace other than the Bible to find connections and references to "LDS" doctrine and teachings. The High Priests of the Sactuary (or Temple) under King David for example, wore various temple garments including the Eohod. Among other things, this included a sacred breastplate and Urim (attached onyx stone used to communicate with God.) The Ephod was a milti-layered vestment, including apron and cap snd full of religious embroidery and embellishments. King David would regularly ask God specific questions through the High Priest, related to his military endeavors and recieve specific instructions and answers. Joseph Smith was in fact, just doing what was done in the Old Testament time and again and with the same type of sacred tools.

Amazing! Thank you for this!!!! ❤

AMAZING!!!! JUST AMAZIBG!!!!!!!

I'm related to Jeff Roundy! Loved all the cool stuff he put together.

Great podcast!

Keep your feet on the ground boys! Spiritual feet!😂

Omgosh! What!!! Thank you Thank you! I love ❤️ you all your shows. AMAZING 👏 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Your in my journal 😉😇😇

Amen, and we are also one with Christ who was also baptised.

Love cardons pirate voice. A treat on each episode!

Love this episode.

Genesis 27 doesnt say Isaac felt the clothes Jacob wore, he felt his hands, which felt hairy because of the goat skins. But, Isaac SMELLED the clothes. "...and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed" (Gen 27:27). If the garment smelled like the incense burned by Adam and Eve, then that is what he smelled.

Don’s observation, while fascinating, feels like a real stretch.

17:50 Come on guys… these are wonderful insights about a very very sacred topic. Can we save the Epstein references for other topics? Please?

So, what about Eve's Garment? Could this be why woman are pronounced clean and men have to come clean? Was Adams garment lost, stolen or defiled as it came through the ages?

When I joined the Church and was in the military living in the barracks.... mine were the ONE PIECE garments. You did not get to pull the let portion of your garments down. The was just a flap. I had to always wear shorts and a t shirt over my garments when In the barracks where everyone else just ran around in their underware.

for your reference (from right to left) = Jehovah is the tetragrammaton voweled with adonai or just "HVHY" / יהוה

Awesome Episode Guys !! Amazing reference to Latter Day Saints Q&A , at LDS Q&A I researched my 1st Enoch & Joesph Smith connections research, and it sparked my way to find MidnightM, and Ward Radio. His content is superb, as well as y'alls Ward Radio. And Thanks for researchers like Don Bradley. [I have added Don's name to the short list of Experts to Learn from. The list is like this ... Wayne May, Robert Kay, Robin Young, Steve Pinecker and Don Bradley. Amazing Minds!! "Let there be LIGHT." = Let there be "Knowledge of God through a Holy Man" (a prophet) [Ancient Hebrew symbols] "He made for them, SKINS of animals." = He made for them, the knowledge of the earthly animals. [Ancient Hebrew symbols] [My Ancient Hebrew Studies : Garments = Knowledge // Skins = "knowledge of man through Man" // Light = "knowledge of God through Man" (light & skin are 3 hebrew symbols and 2 of them are the same except the last character. The symbol for "of man" is the Ayin or the Eye symbol. // Naked or nakedness = Decieve or Deceptive/Crafty meaning "Arum" in hebrew [Learned from Robert Kay & Trey Smith]] [My Theroy : >>Adam & Eve learned knowledge of nature and/or plants 1st, as if the "Tree of Knowledge" gave them the agency to learn "knowledge" or garments, of fig leaves. >> Then God give them the "knowledge" or garments of animal skins. Skins = "knowledge of man through man" >> Discovery of "One's" nakedness [Arum in Hebrew = Decieve or Deceptive/Crafty] >> When Noah was claimed drunkened and his nakedness was seen by Ham, I think Ham was claiming that Noah was making stuff up to be deceptive or crafty (or being naked & drunk) with the Knowledge or Garments. The brothers walking backwards to cover their fathers' "nakedness" that they were showing Ham that the garments are there or that their father was not drunken or naked. Maybe working the knowledge backwards and forwards to prove the knowledge was correct. >> Ham is banished . So Ham leaves to start his on cities with the Fake verision of the garments given to Noah. If this knowledge was including a calendar system, now Ham would pretend to be a reincarnated Noah , named Utz. He claimed to have come from the middle of the 2 Ariat mountains] Thanks Again for y'all Garments.... I meant Thanks for y'alls' Knowledge 😂 - DjNosaj

Is there a place where I can find this information besides this video I just want to learn for myself instead of hearing about it.

@27:42 This made me connect back to the garment and think our the symbol our arm makes during baptism as a priesthood holder... but then it goes even farther than that, also as if you are officating the ordinace of the confirmation you are doing so by the laying on of hands... what symbol are your arms making when doing so?

Think Goat as the animal from which the garment was made…. Exodus 27: 7. A “covering”. The saviors garment that they took from him before he died was “woven”. Also this is what all the tents in Israel were made from. Etc.

hummm Hey guys do you know early Christian Egyptian graves had mummies with linen garments, under their clothes, on them with the marks? I saw photos of them LV -

These type of discussions is where members get the phrase, "I heard......" after which they repeat one of these apocraphil storys

I RECENTLY WATCHED A NDE PERSON RELATE HIS TOUR OF THE AFTERLIFE WHO SAID THAT THE GATE OF HEAVEN WAS JUST WIDE ENOUGH FOR JESUS TO STAND IN THE OPENING AND THAT ANYONE ENTERING THEREIN MUST PASS THROUGH HIS RESURRECTED BODY AND ALL THE IMPURITIES OF THE PERSON PASSING INTO HEAVEN WERE STRIPPED FROM THEIR SOUL. THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE REPRESENTS JESUS BUT THE ACTUAL PORTAL OF HEAVEN IS JESUS.

U guys r always dropping gems everywhere 💎❤

"Dad walks in"...😂😂😂

any similarities that exist between masonry and the LDS temple rights simply confirm the ancient origins of the masonic practices in my mind

We need to hear more from Don.

Did no one see the microwave in the hieroglyph? Also more Pirate Bible please.

I wasn’t aware that worship of Egyptian deities somehow transferred to Christianity. lol I guess that explains the obelisk in St. Peter’s Square. lol I think if we were going to relate the LDS temple garment to Christianity, I would go with wearing of white linen by the Essenes, also known as those who had a secret knowledge, and strict obedience was their jam!

Fantastic discussion! I learned new things.

where is the verse that says adams body was on the ark? cant find anything

I am sorry that I don't have that link -- it was over a month ago. I watched it on my tv via youtube.

I love The Gospel, great stuff guys

Brad the bodacious bombastic brother 🙌

Great Show Guys !

You should put this in a book with the text of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Also can you find the book of Abraham and book of Moses in the Dead Sea scrolls

Does Jonah Barnes have a podcast or any books?

25:28 YHWH -Y,H,W what symbols on the garments correlate with what letters?

The Mark of GOD

You will find some very interesting symbols in the floor of the relatively recent find of Melchizedec's temple in Israel. Do they apply here? Maybe. Maybe not.

I want to know more about Tetragrammaton (HWHY) and the Square etc. I see the anti's are very quick to jump on that quick allusion Don made, because he didn't really make the case beyond noting the parallel. My suspicion is Don considers that there is more behind that reference than just the 'four letters, two repeat'.

Oh. Okay.

Awesome show!

23:24 Yeah it's so strange that no scholar sees a connection...

👊 👍

Great episode!

Such great info! Thank you!

I wonder if Don or Jonah has heard of the "Massiticum Biblia", otherwise called the "Book of Two Pearls". While it reiterates, with some modification, the story of Adam and Eve, and the early patriarchs with expansion of the stories of Enoch and Shem combatting Nimrod, it also has a large portion called the "Book of Joseph", recounting the later life of Jacob and the whole life of Joseph. The Book of Joseph, unlike the rest of the text resembles the writing style that Joseph had in the Book of Moses and Book of Abraham. While I really think it is a forgery due to its very suspect origin, and lack of the original Hebrew or Greek text, it is provocative. Showed up in the 1990s as I recall, and it is only hosted on a single website and academia account. It mentions Jacob fashioning a coat that had the "emblems of the High Priesthood" on it for Joseph. Interesting, even if it is a forgery by a Joseph Smith imitator.

Can someone please tell me what the "Discord" is? I'm new here in the Ward and don't know what this means. Sorry for the dumb question.

The X logo is the Roman sign for Christ follower. This we get Xmas

lets go!

The ancient Native American greeting “Ah ho” is accompanied by a sign given in the temple When you know, you know… Have Wayne May on the show please!!

So it’s literally the armor of God

It’s actually a 6,000 year ordinance as the Pearl of Great Price mentions how even Adam was baptized.

The first animal that they made clothes from was a duck-billed platypus. They actually tried a porcupine first. That was less effective.

The Revelation of Paul (formerly called the Apocalypse of Paul), in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, contains an event mentioned therein, where Paul is moving along from one heaven to the next, and in the sixth heaven passing a heavenly gatekeeper. He gets to the seventh heaven and is blocked by an angelic being, an old man in white, who stops him and asks him where he is going. Paul answers. This being in white then asks Paul how he will get past him and escape him and the dominions and authorities. But then the Holy Spirit tells Paul, "Give him the sign that you have, and [he will] open for you." So, Paul gave him the sign, and the being looks downward (Revelation of Paul 22,23-23,28). The seventh heaven then opens and allows him to pass him by and enter higher heavens, where he meets his fellow apostles (Revelation of Paul 23,29-24,9).

Joseph's brothers destroyed Adam's coat... 😮😬 I wonder what happened to Eve's?
