When references to works from antiquity are given, names of canonical books appear in roman type, while names of noncanonical books appear in italic type. References from the Old and New Testaments are quoted from the King James Version, unless otherwise noted.
The Saints have always been a temple-building people (see D&C 124:39). From the Kirtland Temple to the sacred structures of today, the Latter-day Saints have built temples wherever they have been. This great concern for sacred houses of the Lord has been shared by the people of God in past dispensations as well. What was the object of gathering the Jews, or the people of God in any age of the world? Joseph Smith asked. The main object was to build unto the Lord a house whereby he could reveal unto his people the ordinances of his house and the glories of his kingdom.
The temple was so important to the ancient Israelites and the other people of the ancient Near East that it played a prominent role not only in their religion, but also in their government, economy, art, and social structure. The Tabernacle of Moses was important to the Israelites, to the point that it served as a mobile sanctuary, carried about in their wanderings. The Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem became a political and religious focal point for the kingdom of Israel under the reigns of the early Israelite kings. The temple of Herod held significance for Jesus during his mortal ministryit was a place where he both learned and taught. Herods temple was also a place known to the early apostles and Christians (see Acts 2:46). The Nephites built a temple patterned after the Temple of Solomon soon after their arrival in the New World, and it was at the temple in Bountiful that the resurrected Lord visited and taught the Nephite faithful.
