About

Hi, my name is Daniel Smith and I love learning about the life of Christ! My hope is to help transport you into the teachings of the Savior through historical, cultural, and visual storytelling. I&rsquo;ll do this using artwork, 3D recreations, archeology, and more. I&rsquo;ll focus on the life and teachings of Christ, the events of Holy Week, and the context of the Jewish Feasts and ancient temple worship. 
I started the channel in 2009 after having had the chance to live in Jerusalem for two months. This was a life-changing experience and I desired to share some of the things I learned. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, though I work to appeal to all faiths. I work for an amazing organization called Scripture Central. My hope is to help others hear, come, and know Christ through these messages.

Messages of Christ

The Ark of the Covenant, a captivating relic from biblical history, symbolizes God's covenant with His people. Nestled within the ancient Israelite Tabernacle, it served as a conduit between humanity and the divine. Despite its mysterious disappearance, the Ark's allure extends beyond biblical narratives, inspiring Hollywood's fascination, as seen in the iconic "Indiana Jones" series. The ongoing search for the Ark, marked by claims of discovery, reflects a quest to unravel its mysteries and understand its profound significance. 
The Ark of the Covenant was placed beyond the veil in the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle of Moses. The high priest could only enter this sacred room on one day a year, the Day of Atonement, when he sprinkled blood on the ark. Through the symbolism of the ark of the covenant, we can learn of the powerful connection between the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ that covers or blots out our sins.
