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

Abraham 3

 Abraham shares that early in his life, that - 

"...I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees..."  Abraham 3:1

"And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand years according to the time appointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the Lord’s time, according to the reckoning of Kolob."  Abraham 3:4

I find it interesting that it was through the Urim and Thummim that the Lord taught Abraham great truths concerning the universe, which we learn later that he taught Pharaoh.
