this
week was full of questions for me and a lot of really interesting and
difficult studying. one of my biggest questions i have yet to solve is
What are the blessings and/or responsibilities of the Tribe of manasseh.
i seriously sat down for like 4 hour yearterday and studyed it all so i
know Josephs blessings where passed down to his sons Ephriam and
Manasseh but what is Manassehs job cause his younger brother ephriams
job is to bring all the tribes together in the last days which is
missionary work. but i have yet to find a scripture that tells what the
Tribe Of Manassehs job is in the latter days. idk i think its also
interesting that Ephriam the younger brother was favored over his older
brother Manasseh just like Nefi was favored over his elder brother
lamen. its interesting in the bible the people of ephriam where seen as a
more richous and faithful people but in the book of mormon the
Lamenites/ people of Mannaseh where a more faithful and valiant people.
and thats only the tip of the ice burg. its crazy how related the book
of mormon and bible are! idk i still have a lot to meditate on and study
but dang its amazing how revelation works and how god is in our hearts
and thoughts 24/7. these days and hours of study all happened just
because i prayed to know what my purpose was in this life. and as soon
as i got done with my prayer i opened my book of mormon and there my
patriarchal blessing was and my eye just caught the paragraph about my
tribe. then throughout my study when i was looking for a certain
scripture or answer i would just open the bible and book of mormon and
read and there would be my answer its was a huge testimony builder for
me because until now i had never really seen myself as worthy for
revelation i always thought that it was sort of a prophet thing but
dang.... i had so many questions answered and so many deep dark beliefs
changed thru reading and meditating that its hard to believe that my
heavenly father wasn't revealing the mystery's of the Gospel to me.
IM
