What is happening?
- Lehi is speaking to his last born, Joseph.
- Talks about Joseph of Egypt.
- A seerer will be raised up named Joseph (aka Joseph Smith) and shall translate the Book of Mormon.
How does this apply to my life?
- Again, I love hearing the history. I love seeing that Lehi was a prophet and that he really did see these things before they happened.
- I love that Joseph Smith is mentioned. I can't imagine how that would feel to be translating and find out that this scripture is about you.
- I know that God speaks to prophets both then and now!
Vs. 24 "And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brothern."
I love hearing this. I love that I am reading the book that this scripture is written about. I love that I truly know that Joseph Smith did translate this book by the power of God. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I am so grateful that I am doing this challenge. I feel like in the past 11 days I have gotten to know this book better and have become closer to God because of it.
