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

D&C Official Declaration - 2

When President Spencer W. Kimball made the announcement  concerning all worthy male members, he testified that the Savior -

"...by revelation has confirmed that the long-promised day has come when every faithful, worthy man in the Church may receive the holy priesthood, with power to exercise its divine authority, and enjoy with his loved ones every blessing that flows therefrom, including the blessings of the temple..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Official Declaration 2:8)

What touched me were the words -

"...the long-promised day has come when every faithful, worthy man in the Church may receive the holy priesthood."

Many prophets looked forward to the day of restitution of all things.  It is one of those fulfilled promises that happened in my day.
