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 38

Some eight or nine months after the Church was organized, the Lord warned the Prophet -

"...now I show unto you a mystery, a thing which is had in secret chambers, to bring to pass even your destruction in process of time, and ye knew it not..."  (Doctrine and Covenants 38:13)

I note "chambers" is plural which means to me many secret chambers.  This is serious enough that the Lord reiterated -

"...again, I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your lives."  (Doctrine and Covenants 38:28)

The He adds -

"Ye hear of wars in far countries, and you say that there will soon be great wars in far countries, but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land.
30 I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear."  (Doctrine and Covenants 38:29–30)

I'm sure that many believe this is in reference to the Civil War.  But my impressions this morning was far greater.  I believe there are secret chambers today striving to destroy righteous and true doctrine with false philosophies of fairness and tolerance that seeks to destroy His saints.
