From the Tabernacle to the Temple
Biblical accounts of ancient temple use among Jews and Christians. *God commanded Moses to build the Tabernacle. *God commanded Solomon to build a Temple to replace the Tabernacle. It was completed about 1005 BC The Babylonians destroyed it by fire in 600 BC *Cyrus and Darius built the new Temple, known as the “Temple of Zerubbabel”. It was finished in 515 BC *By 16 BC the Temple was in desperate need of repair. It was reconstructed during the reign of Herod I. This was the temple that Jesus …

Thank You for visiting LDS NEXT the Mormon Community Portal. We plan to expand in 2010 and are looking for featured guest bloggers, articles, and contributors. If you would like to oversee a section of this site please let us know.
Since Jesus himself is the true temple the building of other temples is a sign of the rejection of Jesus. In Jesus and him alone may God dwell with man and man with God.
“the building of other temples is a sign of the rejection of Jesus”
That is not true. If you would pay attention to the verses quoted, you would note that Jesus considered the temple to be of sacred importance. Additionally, the apostles and Christians attended the temple after Jesus was ascended into Heaven until it was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
Mormons are many things, including the owneres of an extra ‘m’ in their name, but they’re not Christians.
Thanks for sharing your intellect with us.
Great, great video Chris. Keep up the good work.
I have also enjoyed your comments.
They are in sharp contrast to the critics who spout the same tired and antagonistic phrases that simply are an effort to justify their reasons for leaving or not investigating sincerely the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
They offer no superior alternative to Mormonism. Only negativity.
Anyone who earnestly studies Mormonism will find peace that “surpasseth all understanding.”
explain to me why mormons think blacks can only make it to heaven as slaves? I think that is a resonable question, dont you?
I have a very easy answer for you. We don’t believe it. You have been misinformed.
Thank you Chris for letting me know. It was beautiful!!! I am so thankful to Heavenly Father for the Temples.
CHRISTOPHER MILLZ U have to GROW Up .. See the the Things show they are Placed in a MANNER .. u will see THE CROSS. WHICH GOD USED FOR SACRFICE OF OUR SINS. GODS HIMSELF WAS THE SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS ON CROSS> This is What Tabernacle Talks with us
The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was sacrificed on a cross. It was not God the Father, because while Jesus was on the cross, He spoke to the Father and referred to Him as His God. The Tabernacle and the Temple are centered around Jesus Christ. Could you please stop shouting.
Peace to you my friend.
I say God is not interested in temples of stone and mortar anymore. 1Co 6:19 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? ” I thought that was where you were going with your video, and must admit I am somewhat disappointed. Actually, the truth is there are three temples in God’s Mind: the Israel Temple, Jesus Christ and then those with faith in Jesus, and who are indwelt by the Spirit.
You left out the part where Jesus referred to Himself as the true temple, by telling the religous leaders, “Destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in 3 days.” The true temple is being built right now on earth: in the hearts of true believers in Christ.
I don’t believe Jesus said He was the “true temple” being that the Temple in Jerusalem was not a true temple. He did refer to His bodily temple when He said it would be destroyed and rebuilt in 3 days but He did not condemn the Jerusalem Temple. In fact, He reverenced it as His Father’s House.
Of course, our bodies are a temples for the Holy Ghost. I do not deny that. However, the temple as a building still has significance. It was in Acts 17 that Paul condemned the Greeks for their false worship and false temples (Acts 19:26-27). In Acts 21:26 and Acts 22:17, Paul goes to the Temple in Jerusalem (God’s Temple). The apostles and Christians continued attending the Temple until it was destroyed (or they were martyred).
Well “Immanuel” Means GOD with us. God Became Flesh and saved us from Hell.
You are right. The Son of God, or God the Son, became flesh and saved us from hell. Mormons believe this as well.
Except God build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Psalm 127:1.
This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zech. 4:6
The fulfillment of the physical temple is a spiritual temple built without hands in the hearts of men!
Psalm 127:1:
“Except God build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”
Yes, this is true. Unless God has commanded His people to build a temple, they do labor in vain. You see, in Solomon’s time, God commanded a temple to be built and gave instructions as to how He wanted it built. Solomon carried out God’s desire and so you see, it was not in vain. This is also the case with Zerubbabel (Zech. 4:8-9).
The temple building and body both have significance in the gospel.
peg- you are the epitome of everything embodied in the apostasy. You know nothing of religion, history, dogma, theology, and most certainly temple worship. Get your head out of your NIV and do some real research and you’ll find that nowhere in the Bible did Christ or his apostles EVER declare that temple worship was to cease. Just bc Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law and put an end to animal sacrifice, and gave us the Spirit, never meant or said that Temple worship was to cease.
furthermore, the only reason that we find Temple worship ceased in the early days of Christianity was bc a few key elements happened. 1- the veil being rent in twain was the beginning following Christ’s death. 2- As it was the Jews who crucified the Lord, it was that very Lord who took the temple away from them as a people collectively, 3- The priesthood and the authority to act in god’s behalf in connection to the temple had left w/ the death of Christ’s apostles…
And going back to OT times, there was always a prophet directing the people whenever a temple was under way, specifically Moses and then Nathan directing David and Solomon. and w/ God speaking to the people through a prophet to direct the people, the people lost any and all ideas on why they should have a temple and what they should do with it. Read anything of a Jewish nature and you’ll find the underlying theme is “when will the temple be restored?”
They know that the decree to cease temple was never revoked, so they’re left in limbo trying to figure out what to do… without a prophet. Hence God restored all truth through Joseph Smith and part of that truth was the reality of temple worship.
Yes but even the veil being rent did not halt Christians from attending the temple. Post-crucifixion accounts of the apostles and Christians attending the temple are abundant in the New Testament. Even Paul, who is often misinterpreted for speaking against the temple, attended when he was able.
One of the shortest books in the Old Testament is about the Lord commanding his prophet to restore the House of the Lord (temple). Temples were extremely important in the Old Testament, New Testament, and these Latter-days.
At least this Gospel has been taught from the beginning with Adam and Evil and is still taught in this dispensation of times.
