The Sign Of Christ's Birth Was Given



One of my daily scripture series. Today, I have reached ch. 1 of Third Nephi in "The Book of Mormon; Another Testament of Jesus Christ" Please compare to the original, available FREE, at www.mormon.org

Nephi, the son of Helaman, depated out of the land of Zarahemla,
leaving his son, Nephi, to preserve the records and Moses' law.
Signs and worners abounded in the heavens and on the land,
but, by the wicked, the slaying of all the righteous, was planned.

A day was set to do thevdeed unless Samuel's prophecy was fulfilled.
Nephi prayed mightly that none of the believers might be killed.
The night before the set day, the son went down in the west,
but darkness never fell, and all with great light were blessed!

A new star was discovered as it shone brightly above.
It truly was the sign of God's eternal gift of love!

In spite of the signs, lying and deceiving increased aplenty,
and the Gadianton Robbers increased, and they slew many!

John Hugo Cullen

Born 01 June 1940 at Roswell, New Mexico. Baptized 15 April 1972 in Spring Creek north of Cookeville, Tennessee, at Bend of the River. Ordained a high priest of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints on 04 July 1976 by the late Robert N. Brady.I believe that the standard works, or scriptures, of the church are written by prophets, by revelation and are holy and sacrd. I feel an obligation to share them all, one daily. The only contribution of mine is to turn the prose into poetry so it can be submitted as poetry. I do not claim credit for the basic ideas, but I accept blame for all my mistakes. Please respect the sources, and please be brutally honest, with details, to help the message bearer's improvement!Some may think that using the scriptures for inspiration means that originality is missing. In my poem archive you can also find non-scriptural works, on a variety of topics. Some have been selected, by editors, for publication in The United Kingdom and United States. more…
