Scripture Study

Whore%20of%20Babylon.jpg
Last night I was reading the 1st book of Nephi for my personal scripture study.
As I finished up the final chapter of the book, I came to this passage in Chapter 22.
It begins with Verse 13

“And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood.”

I have long believed that the whore of all the earth is in fact the Medical Profession and the Big Pharma Companies. I wrote about this extensively in the Introduction to this Blog.
As I read this passage last night I had a witness from the Holy Spirit that the time is soon at hand when this verse will be fulfilled. That the whole profession was about to implode, be exposed as the evil that it is, and that the people of the earth were slowly going to wake up and realize how very badly they have been deceived by the conspiring men of the 20th century.
It actually made me happy to have this thought. As I have broken free of the snares that enslaved my body and mind my whole life, one of the main things that has made me sad has been to watch others, especially those I loved, who were also so enslaved, yet felt powerless to do anything about it.
My message, as always on this blog, is to say to all of you reading….YOU can break free, you can live the life you want and always dreamed of. You can be a happy wife and mother and bring healthy, beautiful babies into the world and still have enough energy left over at the end of the day to sing and dance and live life fully – abundantly, as the Savior said.

“SALT LAKE CITY 15 May 2008 Seventeen-year-old Utah Mormon David Archuleta, one of two finalists in the singing contest American Idol, is experiencing what many other Latter-day Saint celebrities have faced before him. The Osmonds, golfing great Johnny Miller, singer Gladys Knight, Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings, snowboarder Torah Bright, author Stephenie Meyer and other high-profile Mormons have all had to deal with questions about their faith and their fame. How do they reconcile the two?”

The new Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, D. Todd Christofferson. With the passing of President Hinckley, a new apostle was called and sustained along with the new first presidency at General Conference yesterday. I had a witness from the Holy Spirit that this change in the First Presidency was pleasing to our Heavenly Father and that President Monson was the person called and set apart to be the president of the church and the spokesperson for our Savior.
And here is a link to the article on the churchs web site.

General Conference April 5 – 6, 2008

My parents drove out to Colorado on the way to Salt Lake City for Conference this weekend. They stopped by early in the week and we had a family gathering. My Dad snapped this shot of our family with his digital camera. My parents will be in the conference center for the solemn assembly this morning in Salt Lake City.
Here is a link to an article published this morning on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints web site explaing General Conference! The conference is streamed live on the internet, so click on the link to get to the site!
We will be sustaining our new Prophet Thomas Monson:

“Men and women who are offered various opportunities to serve in the Church are given this kind of acknowledgement by common consensus of other Church members in local congregational meetings. When a new First Presidency is sustained, the meeting is called a solemn assembly.

Common consent in the Church is an agreement among the members and leaders of a congregation, local or worldwide, regarding proposed assignments given to people within that congregation. Individuals choose to accept an assignment, and fellow members then have the chance to show support for that decision. A form of congregational common consent was practiced in biblical times, as found in the book of Exodus, when Moses “told the people all the words of the Lord” and the “people answered with one voice.”

What is General Conference?
General Conference is Personal

“Mormons find that the same address can be understood in different ways by different people. Mormons ascribe this to a desire on the part of each person to receive uniquely relevant and applicable instruction and inspiration from sermons, with the help of God’s Holy Spirit. This form of tailor-made learning, experienced by people of all faith traditions who sincerely engage with sacred texts or in religious services, is something that must be experienced to be truly comprehended.

For Mormons, general conference is an exciting time when large numbers gather to hear sermons, sacred music and news. But the most satisfying, profound and exhilarating thoughts and feelings of inspiration come when one person receives an answer to a serious personal question or is reassured by a connectedness to God and others.”

As a confirmed News Junkie, General Conference is an opportunity for me to relax, sit back, and over a two day span hear eight hours of pure unadulterated truth. It always recharges my batteries and keeps me grounded for the next six months of “the philosophies of men mingled with scripture” as I closely follow current events.
