0:00.0	throughout the Book of Mormon, you have the phrase, and it came to pass. In fact, if you
0:05.8	turn to page 350 and just look at the beginning of many of the verses, you'll see the phrase
0:11.1	and it came to pass. Now, we could have talked about this at the beginning of the Book of Mormon
0:17.3	year. We just decided to talk about it. Now, I want to share several perspectives
0:21.7	of why this is one of the most important phrases in the Book of Mormon. First of all, just the
0:27.2	literal perspective. And it came to pass, not and it came to stay, not and it came to linger
0:34.5	forever. It just came to pass. Whatever suffering you're dealing with
0:39.4	right now, it comes to pass. It comes for the purpose of passing. Everything we experience
0:46.2	in this life will pass on by. Eventually, we will be brought back into God's presence.
0:52.3	All of our suffering will be but for a moment. So when I see
0:55.9	this phrase, I take comfort that this too shall pass. Another thought, the phrase and it came to
1:03.5	pass, if you translate it back into the ancient Hebrew, that phrase is actually the engine of the narrative. So imagine you want a card to go
1:13.3	a little faster, you put your foot on the pedal and rev off. How in a narrative does a storyteller
1:20.7	tell you that the action is moving forward and not just to linger on any one single scene?
1:26.9	In ancient Hebrew, they would use this phrase.
1:30.2	Day, if you think about a good action film, one of the ways you know it's fast action
1:35.4	is there's lots of editorial cuts, like every couple of seconds there's a different angle
1:39.5	or a different view of what's going on.
1:41.6	In some ways, this is what the phrase, and it came to pass does. It
1:45.4	pushes the narrative forward. It tells you, I got to keep reading. There's more that's
1:49.8	happening. It's intended to encourage you to realize there's a lot of action going on in the
1:55.4	narrative to drive you forward in the storytelling. Now, this other idea, maybe a little bit speculative, but here's
