Mountain of the Lord

Isaiah 2:2

And it shall come to pass in the last days, 

that the mountain of theLord’s house shall be established

 in the top of the mountains,

 and shall be exalted above the hills; 

and all nations shall flow unto it.

Blessings of the Temple

BY PRESIDENT THOMAS S. MONSON

Sixteenth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The temple lifts and exalts us

"In the temple, the precious plan of God is taught. 

It is in the temple that eternal covenants are made.

 The temple lifts us, exalts us, stands as a beacon for all to see, 

and points us toward celestial glory. 

It is the house of God. All that occurs within the walls 

of the temple is uplifting and ennobling."

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 

where moth and rust doth corrupt, 

and where thieves break through and steal:

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, 

where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and 

where thieves do not break through nor steal:

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” 

^{Matthew 6:19–21}

^{"As we touch the temple and love the temple,} 

^{our lives will reflect our faith.} 

^{As we go to the holy house, as we remember} 

^{the covenants we make therein,} 

^{we will be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation.} 

^{The temple provides purpose for our lives.}

 ^{It brings peace to our souls—}

^{not the peace provided by men} 

^{but the peace promised by the Son of God when} 

^{He said,} 

^{“Peace I leave with you,} 

^{my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth,} 

^{give I unto you.} 

^{Let not your heart be troubled,} 

^{neither let it be afraid.” 2"}

^{How we are  so blessed.....}

^{it is amazing to me.}

"For verily this generation shall 

not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the 

Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud shall 

be even the glory of the Lord, 

which shall fill the house."

—D&C 84:5

"And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, 

HOLINESS TO THE LORD."

—Exodus 28:36

"But the Lord is in his holy temple: 

let all the earth keep silence before him."

—Habakkuk 2:20
