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

JS - Matthew

Speaking of the events that would shortly come to past, the Savior said -

"...Take heed that no man deceive you;
6 For many shall come in my name, saying—I am Christ—and shall deceive many;
7 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations, for my name’s sake;
8 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another;
9 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many;
10 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold..."  (Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:5–10)

Just as many of the prophecies of Isaiah applied to his time as well as the last days, I see these words of the Savior very applicable to our day as a sign of the times.

I can't help but think of those philosophies of our day that suggest will save us or the earth as false "Christs".  I will always turn these thoughts to what has the Prophet said on the matter.
