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

2 Nephi 1

 As Lehi blesses and warns Laman and Lemuel, he states - 

"But if ye will not hearken unto him I take away my first blessing, yea, even my blessing, and it shall rest upon him."  (2 Nephi 1:29)

As I have reviewed the words "first blessing", I have come to conclusion that the "first blessing" is the right to preside in regard to priesthood authority and keys.  This could also relate to terms like  king, boss, head, leader, etc.
