Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Isaiah 14

After Isaiah had foretold the destruction of Babylon, Assyria, Palistina (which I believe were the Philistines), and even Lucifer's kingdom, he asks -

"What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation?..." (Old Testament | Isaiah 14:32)

Answer to all nations is that when nations are fully ripe, then cometh destruction.

"For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:31)

Isaiah answers the question with the the Lord requires righteousness, purity, and where there is no poor among them -

"That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it." (Old Testament | Isaiah 14:32)
