pam Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Mosiah 1Â*18 And now, it came to pass that Mosiah went and did as his father had commanded him, and proclaimed unto all the people who were in the land of Zarahemla that thereby they might gather themselves together, to go up to the temple to hear the words which his father should speak unto them.Quotes for Discussion“This is the first reference to a temple in the land of Zarahemla. The building of a temple mentioned earlier in the Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 5:16) refers to the temple in the land of Nephi. Our present Book of Mormon does not provide any additional information concerning when or by whom this temple in Zarahemla was constructed.”(Daniel Ludlow, A Companion to Your Study of the Book of Mormon, p.173)“In June 1994, President Howard W. Hunter encouraged members to ‘establish the temple of the Lord as the great symbol of their membership and the supernal setting for their most sacred covenants,’ and to ‘go not only for our kindred dead, but let us also go for the personal blessing of temple worship.’ (Church News, “Temple Moments: Incomprehensible Joy”, 02/15/97) Quote
