Blog Recommendation: Connections Donna B. Nielsen

In case you are interested... I found another great new Blog that I adore. It is called Connections and the Blog author is Donna B. Nielsen. I am going to entice you to go over and explore her Blog for youself with some information that she shared on the Blog.

Noah's Genealogy--

Hebrew...................English

Adam............................... Man

Seth...................................Appointed

Enos..................................Mortal

Cainan...............................Sorrow

Mahalaleel.........................The Blessed God

Jared.................................Shall come down

Enoch................................Teaching

Methusaleh........................His death shall bring

Lamech.............................The despairing

Noah.................................Comfort, or rest


If we read the names in order as a sentence, we find:


"Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow; [but] the Blessed God shall come down
teaching [that] His death shall bring [the] despairing rest."


Here is the "gospel" hidden within the name meanings from a genealogy in Genesis!

I found out that she is also an author of the book, Beloved Bridegroom, which I have added to my collection. I will let you know how it is when I read it.

So next time you have some free time, head over to Connections and read ALL of her past posts. They are really cool and give tons of gospel insights.

Thanks Donna!

Thank you! I have heard Sis. Nielsen at Education week and loved her analysis and perspective on the scriptures. This is a real treasure- thanks for the link!
