0:00.0	This chapter, or this set of chapters, is quite frankly very difficult because you're going to see
0:07.8	high and then low, and then high and then low. It feels like you're on a roller coaster or a ferris wheel,
0:15.5	just going around and around and around. What we see in the book Mormon that President Benson emphasized a lot in his teaching
0:23.4	is the famous pride cycle. Now, you've seen it. You've probably diagramed it multiple times
0:29.9	yourself. Let's just get it on the board because that way it gives us a point of contact with this lesson. So,
0:41.5	at the top we have prosperity. And when individuals and cultures prosper, it has the tendency,

1:56.1	is the opposite of that which is directly across from it. Pride and humility, sin and repentance,
2:02.9	blessings and destruction, prosperity and sorrow. This is basically the entire lesson today and next
2:10.6	week, actually. The book of Heelman is over and over. It's going to literally feel like you've been on a Ferris wheel
2:19.6	this whole book long. President Benson took this one step further to say that the book
2:23.8	was written for Our Day and that as you watch the patterns unfold among the Nephites
2:29.0	and the Lamanites, he said you will see events in our day unfolding leading up to the second coming, just as these
