Significant Journeys in the Book of Mormon:
…my people sow filthiness (7:30).
Then ….
…Reap the chaff thereof in the whirlwind (7:30).
…reap the east wind (7:31).
To the Semites, the west wind brought rain and the east wind brought drought which meant starvation and death.
IF …
…ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart,
and put your trust in him, and
serve him will all diligence of mind (7:33).
Then ….
…God will “deliver you out of bondage” (7:33).
Elder John A. Witdsoe: “A seer is one who sees with spiritual eyes. He perceives the meaning of that which seems obscure to others; therefore he is an interpreter and clarifier of eternal truth. He foresees the future from the past and the present. This he does by the power of the Lord operating through him directly, or indirectly with the aid of divine instruments such as the Urim and Thummim.
“In short, he is one who sees, who walks in the Lord’s light with open eyes.”
“A prophet is a teacher of known truth; a seer is a perceiver of hidden truth; a revelator is a bearer of new truth. In the widest sense, the one most commonly used, the title, prophet, includes the other titles and makes of the prophet, a teacher, perceiver, and bearer of truth.” (John A. Widtsoe, Evidences and Reconciliations, arr. G. Homer Durham, 3 vols. in 1 [1960], 258).
Elder Neal A. Anderson: “These 15 men we sustain as prophets, seers, and revelators are given divine power to see what [others] sometimes do not see.” (“Beware of the Evil behind the Smiling Eyes,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2005, 47).
Elder David A. Bednar: “Disciples who are steadfast and immovable do not become fanatics or extremists, are not overzealous, and are not preoccupied with misguided gospel hobbies.”
“They have forgotten, if they ever knew, that it is very unwise to take a fragment of truth and treat it as if it were the whole thing.” (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed. [1939], 122). (Elder David A. Bednar, “Steadfast and Immovable, Always Abounding in Good Works” New Era Jan. 2008).

Ideas for teaching:
- BYU’s Virtual Scriptures.
- Give an overview of “Significant Journeys.”
- Look for ‘if’ … ‘then’ promises.
- We have prophets, seers, and revelators!
