Revelations 21:11
“Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;”
“building for worship,” O.E. tempel, from L. templum “piece of ground consecrated for the taking of auspices, building for worship,” of uncertain signification. Commonly referred either to PIE base *tem- “to cut,” on notion of “place reserved or cut out,” or to PIE base *temp- “to stretch,” on notion of cleared space in front of an altar. Fig. sense of “any place regarded as occupied by divine presence” was in O.E. Applied to Jewish synagogues from 1598.
Funny. I always thought that song made a nice title for the LDS Temple as well. And the lyrics often fit; “Come on Restoration, wash my body clean.” Oh well, a pleasant, albeit unintended coincidence.
True. I always thought it would be someone else who saw the connections and made a music video like this. No one did, so it fell to me.
great video man
Thanks. Tell your friends!
Very interesting – the connection between this song and our temples never occurred to me, but I like it. Thanks!
No problem. Share it with everyone you know!
