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

Exodus 16

 As I was reading Exodus 16 and 19, I read the following comment - 

“Ripe in iniquity.” Behaviors that lead a nation to destruction. We often see the phrase “ripe in iniquity” in the scriptures (Ether 2: 9; 9: 20; Helaman 13: 14; D& C 18: 6). It means that a nation or people are ready to be destroyed by the Lord. Leviticus 18 describes many of the behaviors and attitudes that lead a nation to that point. You will see that many of these behaviors have to do with open acceptance of sexual immorality, including homosexuality and other sexual perversions."  (Ridges, David J.. The Old Testament Made Easier - Part 2) 

We are beginning to see more of this in our day.
