Liken the Scriptures
As this election season nears its end, I've realized that I've become increasingly sensitive to current events, the words of our leaders, and the actions of my fellow men.
I have been, and will now forever
read the scriptures in an entirely new l i g h t.
Jacob 4: 13-14
"... the Spirit speaketh truth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But, behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things..."
"... they despised the words of plainness , and they killed the prophets, and sought for things that they could not understand. Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark, they must needs f a l l ; for God hath taken away his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they desired it God hath done it, that they may stumble."
Does anyone else find these scriptures relevant to today? I do.
