Gospel Feast
It's time to feast upon the Word of God. You've had enough milk, it's time for a little meat. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is as rich and rewarding as you make it. Let's feast together! This podcast leans on the research and scholarship of Old World Historian and Eastern Thinking expert Reed R. Simonsen and his book and lecture series, "The Gospel Feast." Listeners are encouraged to ask questions which are answered every 7th episode. Come and Feast on the Word! http://www.gospelfeastbooks.com
Ep. 120: Dispensations: The Fourth Reconstructed through the Seventh.
In our last episode we ran out of time answering a question about the dispensations and particularly Moses’s role in God’s great dispensational plan.Â
In exploring the prophetic writings and mission of Ezra, we learned that with the loss of the Brass Plates, the destruction of the Temple Library and the burning of the Jewish Canon, the Lord commissioned Ezra to recreate the scriptures that we call the Old Testament under the power of the Holy Spirit. We learned how later Assyrian-Luciferian scholars infiltrated the Sanhedrin and commanded the Jews not to read the Bible but to...
Ep. 119: QnA#17: Dispensations: the First through the Third Thousand Years.
Every 7th episode we answer your questions. This episode deals with dispensationalism, one of the major proofs of Restored Christianity. All our ancestors understand that dispensationalism was part of God's plan for fallen humanity. When the concept is understood properly, much of history and our forebearers' motivations come into focus.
Modern secular Christianity rejects dispensationalism because it proves apostasy and thus the need for restoration. This episode contains many surprises and is not one to miss nor take lightly. Come and see!
A very special thank you to composer Ron Garrard for this talents in...
Ep. 118 Eyewitness Accounts of King David Part 1
For the remainder of Season 7 on the Gospel Feast Podcast we have been exploring one of the only books recommended by Ezra but left out of the canon of the Old Testament, that survives today. You will find that Ezra and the Great Assembly, called by God to prepare the Old Testament, refers to Gad’s book by name.Â
Both Gad the Seer and the Prophet Nathan were the main prophets assigned to King David and the royal court of united Israel. In this episode we are going to feast on some of the events that Gad preserved for...
Ep. 117: The Visions of Gad the Seer
Gad opens with two amazing visions that have much to say about God’s reasons for choosing Israel and His early lament as they failed to live up to their calling, nearly from the beginning.
The first vision of Gad, preserved for us, depicts the coming corruption of the Abrahamic Covenant under the new dispensation bringing the founding of the Lord's House on the Temple Mount. It constitutes an official warning to the Royal household that will ultimately blow up under King Solomon. This is very important since it is uncharacteristic of God not to warn His children pr...
Ep. 116: Ezra's Recommended Reading List (Egad, a seer!)
When Ezra the Levite, who may have also been the High Priest, prepared the Official Jewish Canon at the command of God Himself, the same that is called the Old Testament by Christians, he authorized a handful of other books as being noteworthy for study. Since these survived the book burning by Nebuchadnezzar, and were not lost to humanity, Ezra didn’t feel the need to edit them nor place them in the official collection of the Holy Bible. Anyone wanting to read these books was able to.
We are fortunate that many centuries later, one of these bo...
Ep. 115: Ezra's Forbidden Bible (Holy Moses!)
It is our goal in the Gospel Feast Series to feast deeply on the Word of God. We take our desire to have meat over milk so seriously that we are unafraid to follow truth wherever it leads. Not all truth is pleasant and much of the word when eaten can be sweet to the taste but bitter to the stomach. Such is the nature of truth, but such is also the nature of freedom.
This episode may come as a shock to many but it is crucial when studying Ezra to understand that Rabbis actually say...
Ep. 114: Ezra's Final Warning and How it Affects You Right Now!
Ezra was known anciently as “the Malachi." Once he had completed his mission to prepare, summarize, and even recreate the canon of scripture that we call the Old Testament, he left a final warning.
He also founded the Sanhedrin which played a crucial role in the murder of Jesus Christ.
In this episode we will explore all of that and more.
You should also re-listen to episode 67.
We are happy to announce that Vol. 11 in the Gospel Feast Series: Exodus & The Great Atonement is now available on Amazon. Come and Feast with us again on...
Ep. 113: The Second Coming of the Messiah! (Ezra's Witness) Part 2
Of the many amazing visions given to the Prophet Ezra, one of the most astounding is his being allowed to see the Return of Jesus Christ in power and glory along with the events just before and after God's return. This episode continues episode 111 and is part 2 of 2.
This season we are studying Reed R. Simonsen's Ezra & the End of Days, Vol. A in the Gospel Feast Series. It's time to Feast on the Word of God!
We are happy to announce that Vol. 11 in the Gospel Feast Series: Exodus & The Great Atonement is now available...
Ep. 112: QnA#16: So you think you know Ezra's 3-Headed Eagle Prophecy? You don't!
We have received many questions in regards to ep. 110 on Ezra's 3-headed Eagle. Many people think they understand it and we are discovering that they don't. It is not possible to understand this important prophecy without a large knowledge of World History and some Eastern Thinking helps too!.
In this episode our author and ancient historian takes us deeper into the current history of this important prophecy. It can be very dangerous to fall for self-entitled history or self-fulling prophecy when the great ending is close at hand. Here we will drive deeper into Ezra's legacy and...
Ep. 111: The Second Coming of the Messiah! (Ezra's Witness) Part 1
Of the many amazing visions given to the Prophet Ezra, one of the most cherished is his being allowed to see the Return of Jesus Christ in power and glory. Ezra was also allowed to see the return of the Lost Ten Tribes. This episode is part 1 of 2.
This season we are studying Reed R. Simonsen's Ezra & the End of Days, Vol. A in the Gospel Feast Series. It's time to Feast on the Word of God!
We are happy to announce that Vol. 11 in the Gospel Feast Series: Exodus & The Great Atonement is...
Ep. 110: Ezra's Vision of the Three-Headed Eagle
Toward the end of his sojourn in the pristine field, the Levite Prophet Ezra was given an incredible vision of a terrifying three-headed eagle. Even those unfamiliar with the larger book of 2nd Ezra may have heard of this vision. It is frequently taken out of context today.
In this episode we will explore this amazing vision in context and see what gems it might hold for you and me living in the final minutes of the very last days.
This season's episodes are based on the author's book, Ezra & the End of Days available on Amazon...
Ep. 109: The Weeping Lady in the Flowered Field
While fasting and praying at Uriel's command in a flowered field, the prophet Ezra meets a weeping lady with a profound message about the future; your future.
In this episode we explore this event, its message and its lessons.
This season we are feasting on the unknown writings of the Prophet Ezra whose pen name was Malachi. His writings were once included in the King James Version of the Bible but were removed because they were too illuminating and that scared the powerful men and women of the day. Let's see why they didn't want you to h...
Ep. 108: Ezra Pleads... Uriel and Jehovah Answer!
Ezra has been fasting and praying seeking answers to some of the very same questions that you and I are seeking today amid the chaos all around us.
Finally, the heavens part and answers come!Â
As wickedness seems to be gathering all around us again in our day, and the answers given to us too often feel like skim milk, when meat is what we are craving. The Lord's answers to Ezra are more than welcome.
Let's take this opportunity to get some meat from the Lord God Himself. We may just discover the refeshment we a...
Ep. 107: The Archangel Uriel
The Archangel Uriel is one who was known to our ancestors but never much mentioned today. He is however, the angel who was sent to Ezra to help him understand and then prepare the return of the Jews to Jerusalem in preparation for the coming birth of the Messiah whose exact day of Visitation had been given to the Prophet Daniel.
In this episode we will meet him and come to appreciate him as another guardian of the Children of Men. We will also come to see how Ezra was able to wrestle information from the Most...
Ep. 106: Ezra & the End of Days & You!
Welcome to Season 7 of the Gospel Feast Podcast. For this season we are going to feast on the only book that used to be in the King James Bible but was removed. It is written by the prophet Ezra who used the title Malachi as a pen name from time to time.
Since Ezra was writing at the Lord's command deep in the sorrows of a rapidly collapsing world which made little sense to the faithful, the lessons that he offers and the understandings that the Lord preserved through him are more than pertinent to our modern...
Ep. 105: QnA#15 Who is the Anti-Christ? And When Will He Appear? What are your current thoughts on the happenings in the Middle East?
We have had so many people asking us about the current events in the Middle East, how we believe this effects the end timeline, and particularly the Anti-Christ so it’s not fair to connect this to any one listener, so as a general question, (and feel free to insert your own name here), we ask our author and historian, "Who is the Anti-Christ? When will he appear? And what is your take on the current events in the Middle East?
This is an episode with many surprises!
We are happy to announce that Vol. 11 in th...
Ep. 104: Even, So! Come Lord Jesus!
We have reached the end of an amazing book! One that many have read but few have really feasted on. In our yearly rotation of holy scripture, Revelation comes at the end (late November or December) when we are always eager to celebrate our Thanksgiving for Christ and his birth, so this is a book we never really study together, even though it is a book strongly recommended by the scriptures of the Restoration. We hope that, in a small way, this season has helped rectify this.
We hope that this season has been a grand feast for...
Ep. 103: The Marriage in Zion at the Lord's 2nd Coming!
At last, at last the marriage of the Lamb! In this episode we will explore the return of our Lord Jesus Christ and the great celebration that will be His wedding celebration with Lady Zion, His Church and Kingdom.
It is important to remember that the Prophet Joseph Smith said that the coming of Kingdom would be like a woman giving birth. Terrible moments of pain interspaced with moments of peace and growing excitement. As the deliver got closer so would the moments of pain become longer. We however were encouraged to remember that once the babe is...
Ep. 102: Mystery Babylon, the Synagogue of Satan & the Church of The Devil
We are rapidly coming to the end of another amazing season on the Gospel Feast Podcast but not just yet! Just as the Book of Revelation takes us right up to the very end, so we are living in the very last days.Â
In this episode, John is going to tell us more about the mysterious Mystery Babylon which is just one of the many names of the Synagogue of Satan and the Church of The Devil causing so much misery among us. Let’s see what the Lord wanted John to tell us.
We are hap...
Ep. 101: A Latter-day Restoration & Safety on Mount Zion
We hope you enjoyed our three episode centennial celebration into Joseph Smith’s astonishing work in ancient Egyptian. We hope that it was testimony building or affirming.
But now it is time to get back into the Book of Revelation. We left off exploring how this book is really a menorah of light where the first half of the book is expanded and re-encapsulated by the second half. We paused where during the 5th seal, John saw the great anti-christ rise up and how a mark was required on all men in order to buy or sell. We he...
Ep. 100: The Joseph Smith Hypocephalus: A Celebration!
Welcome to our 100th Episode! To celebrate we have set down our study of Revelation briefly and explored Facsimile #2 of the Book of Abraham also called The Joseph Smith Hypocephalus. In order to prepare for this episode we used episodes 98 & 99 to set the stage. It is hoped that you will have listened to those two before this one.
Okay! Since it is time to celebrate! Let's jump into a magnificent feast into one of the least understood parts of our standard works - and savor a little understood part of our heritage!Â
And a very special thank y...
Ep. 99: Hypocephali & Reformed Egyptian
We are taking a short pause in our feast on the Book of Revelation, and have a side feast on Facsimile #2 of the Book of Abraham also known as the Joseph Smith Hypocephalus. In order to do it justice, we will have to prepare. This is preparatory podcast #2 in preparation for our 100th Centennial Celebration which comes next!
Here we explore the history of both the Book of Abraham, in terms of the history of the Church, and the known history of Ancient Egypt. We will also explore the prophet's prophetic gifts and prophetic process as he worked...
Ep. 98: Hypocephalus Prep & The Plan
This is part 1 of our 3 part Centennial Jubilation! We are going to take a short pause in our feast on the Book of Revelation, and have a side feast on Facsimile #2 of the Book of Abraham also known as the Joseph Smith Hypocephalus. In order to do it justice, we will have to prepare, so grab a fork, this is going to be a smorgasbord!

Ep. 95: The War of Armageddon

Ep. 94: John's Mission Call & Hebraic Poetry Prep re-Primer
The entire Bible can be read as an attempt by Satan to undermine the plans of God and thwart His will. For this reason men must live by faith in every word that comes from the mouth of God and His prophets. Correct faith is the safest option since the Holy Ghost can lead the faithful over any obstacle course (even as it changes) to the destination of safety.
In this episode we will explore John's Mission Call and then take a quick re-Primer into Hebraic Poetry to prepare us for the very poetic chapters that follow. Our...
Ep. 93: The Seventh Seal & The Testimony of Nature
Listeners to our podcast know that it is our speculation that we are currently living in the early years of the 7th Seal. But how would we know?
All of the seals have opened with a noise; a shout, a quake, a lament. The Seventh Seal is different. It opens with... (well, you're just going to have to listen to this episode to find out).

We are happy to announce...
Ep. 92: The 6th Seal
At the opening of the sixth thousand years, Nature spoke. The earth (the Father’s vineyard) was deeply upset over the murder of her creator. The legal heir to the Father had been rejected and killed; and His holy blood had soaked into her skin. Horrible vengeance was warranted.

Ep. 90: The Throne Room of Almighty God
Very few mortals have been permitted to see into the Throne Room of Almighty God. Fewer still — perhaps only John — have been permitted to linger there and write what he saw. John sees a door open in heaven, and like a portal into the eternities, John enters. This is what he sees...

Ep. 89: The Lord's Letter to Seven Churches
The Book of Revelation opens with a letter addressed to 7 specific churches in Asia which were under the direct responsibility of John. These function very much like our modern patriarchal blessings do in modern times. Still, as lovers of history, and the word of God, wherever we find it, let's see what we can gain from these amazing letters.

Ep. 88: John in America and Beyond
John the Revelator was granted power over death by the Lord at the end of the Lord's mortal ministry here. He told John that he would live to minister and help prepare the day of the Lord's return by prophesying before many peoples in many nations.
In this episode we explore the fulfillment of this in the Americas among our own kindred and how this adds to the promise that the Lord intended His altar to be build anew in a "New Jerusalem."
A special thank you to Andrew Koyama and Robert Martin for their voice talents...
Ep. 87: John the Belovéd Revelator
Season 6 of the Gospel Feast Podcast explores the fabulous final book in the Christian Bible, John the Apostle's Book of Revelation. It is one of the few sacred books which specifically guarantees a blessing upon those who read it.
In the episode we will feast on the life of John, called both the Beloved of the Lord and the Great Revelator. This is going to be an exciting season!
For those wanting more, you are invited to consider the author's Revelation & the Mark of the Beast. It is Vol. 6 in the Gospel Feast Series.
Ep. 86: Zedek: The War Chariot of the Lord: part 2
The vision of Ezekiel in chapter 1 of his writings has been heavily debated by scholars and fools. Many illustrators throughout the millennia have attempted to depict his vision with little to no real success.
What Ezekiel actually saw was the War Chariot of the Lord. Ezekiel’s description of it is grand and nearly incomprehensible. This is because it is meant to be felt in Eastern terms, not understood in a Western way.
One must use Eastern Thinking to understand it; however, in western terms, the war-chariot of the Lord is Zedek (in Hebrew). Zeus (in Greek), an...
Ep. 85: Zedek: The War Chariot of the Lord: part 1
This is part 1 of 2. It has been heavily debated by scholars and fools as to the meaning of the chariot of the Lord that Ezekiel saw. Many illustrators throughout the millennia have attempted to depict his vision with little to no real success. Ezekiel chapter 1 is carefully laid out in the form of a quiz in episode 71 of this season, but in short what Ezekiel actually saw was the War Chariot of the Lord. Ezekiel’s description of it is grand and nearly incomprehensible. This is because it is meant to be felt in Eastern terms, not understood in a...
Ep. 84: QnA#12: Was the Prophet Joseph Smith Ever Photographed?
Every 7th episode we take questions from our listenership. In this episode we ask our author and historian about his involvement with a daguerreotype (a photograph) of the Prophet Joseph Smith that was in the possession of the Prophet's wife Emma, and their eldest son Joseph Smith III in the 1800s.
Those wishing to see the photograph can do so here: GospelFeastBooks.com in the "Podcast" section.
Those wishing a copy of the complete research on the Prophet's photograph can find it here in hardcopy and online here.
We are happy to announce that Vol. 11 i...
Ep. 83: The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ
The 7th thousand year period is called “The Millennium.” It is the 1,000 years of all the 1,000 years! It is the time hoped and prayed for by every prophet and saint from the days of Adam. It will be a time of great joy, when radical changes will take place on the Earth, in nature, and in mankind. God will renew the Earth and give it back its paradisiacal glory which will at first be a Terrestrial Glory. The Lord will usher in a new order for the planet.
Perhaps the most exciting part of living in this time will...
Ep. 82: The Third Temple at Jerusalem
Jerusalem will know at least three Temples. The first was built by King Solomon with the help of King Hiram of Tyre. It was paid for in advance by King David but the actual construction fell upon Solomon. It was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar during Ezekiel's lifetime.
The Second Temple we call Zerubbabel’s Temple. It was built 70 years later when the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem under foreign control. It was smaller than Solomon’s and less grand. It would stand through the next 500 years, greeting Alexander the Great, the Maccabees, and Rome. This is the temp...
Ep. 81: The Coming Battle of Armageddon
We know that in coming days there will be terrible wars, great wickedness, carnality, corruption, and abomination such as the world has never before seen. The cup of man’s iniquity will be full, and the fury and scourge of the Lord will be poured without measure upon all nations.
The Battle of Armageddon is one of those events that will absolutely happen. Where we are uncertain about particulars, it may be that these are the moments that mankind might yet mitigate some of the destruction or where the Lord needs to hide his hand to keep the up...
