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 2

Much of the words of Isaiah seem to not only be about Judah and Jerusalem in his day but also the Nephites as we as us in the latter days.  Isaiah talks of those that choose to abandon the words of the Lord.  One being -

"Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers."  (Isaiah 2:6)

In my mind in our day, "children of strangers" are those that are unbelievers or the unfaithful.
