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

Revelation 3

As John was instructed to write the words of the angel, the angel declares to several of the stars or servants  -

"...he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end..."  (New Testament | Revelation 2:26)

Of those that overcome the world are given great promises of exaltation and becoming like God which are respented symbolically as -


"...will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."  (New Testament | Revelation 2:7)

"...shall not be hurt of the second death."  New Testament | Revelation 2:11)

...or spiritual death.

"...will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."  (New Testament | Revelation 2:17)

"...to him will I give power over the nations..."  (New Testament | Revelation 2:26)

...or eternal kingdoms.

"...the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life..."  (New Testament | Revelation 3:5)

"...will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."  (New Testament | Revelation 3:12)

"...will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."  (New Testament | Revelation 3:21)

Kind of sounds like -

"...all that my Father hath shall be given unto him."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:38)
