Discussion
This section is for detailed discussion such as the meaning of a symbol, how a doctrinal point is developed throughout a passage, or insights that can be further developed in the future.

- D&C 77:12: Sabbath day. This verse compares the Sabbath day to the Millennium. This suggests thinking of the Sabbath day not only as a short recurring period of life, such as weekly Sundays, but rather as a lengthy culminating period of existence, such as a person's final retirement years spent serving missions and engaging in other service. Also see Col 2:16-17 which likewise suggests that the symbolism of the Sabbath day looks forward in history, and the discussion of Gen 2:1-3 regarding other symbolism of the Sabbath day.
- D&C 77:15. See this post by Julie M. Smith at the T&S blog which discusses a literal vs. symbolic reading of this verse.

Prompts for further study
This section is for prompts that invite us to think about a passage more deeply or in a new way. These are not necessarily questions that beg for answers, but rather prompts along the lines of "Have you ever thought about ..." Prompts are most helpful when they are developed individually, thoughtfully, and with enough background information to clearly indicate a particular direction for further study or thought. Click the link above and to the right to edit or add content to this heading. →
- D&C 77:12. Does this verse tell us that God created man on the seventh day? If so, what is the significance of this difference from Gen 1, Moses 2?

Notes
Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves (such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word). In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources (such as Strong's Bible Concordance or the Joseph Smith Papers) are preferable to footnotes.
