I find these videos both interesting and compelling.   And yet at the same time, I believe we must be careful.  I do not believe that Brother Bradley insights are coincidences but rather these things are rather threads in a tapestry of understanding and conviction to assist us to believe in and follow Christ. 

It is both confusing and sad to me that not one of the witnesses (including all the exceptional historical parallels to the ancient witnesses of Christ) of the Book of Mormon came west to what is now Utah with Brigham Young and the pioneering vanguard of Saints.  Of course, we can argue that none of the witnesses ever wavered in their testimony of the Book of Mormon and that is another witness in and of itself.  But never-the-less, the historical parallel is not quite the same.

I do believe that Brother Bradley has exceptional spiritual gifts, and it would be well for us to incorporate his witness and testimony into our own tapestry of understanding of the marvelous works and wonders of the restoration.   I also believe that every testimony and witness of Christ (including even those not of our faith) can be received and added to our personal tapestry that Jesus is the Christ, our L-rd, our redeemer and the author of our salvation.

Both Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris eventually came west.  And came back to full faith and fellowship.

Oliver Cowdery never made it to Utah.  He was rebaptized in 1848 in Iowa.  He intended to travel to Utah but died in Missouri in 1850.

At least he was on his way!!  Somehow I thought he had made it.
