29. Temples: The House of the Lord
What Latter-day Saints believe
Latter-day Saints build temples, just as God’s people did in the Bible. Temples are different from the meetinghouses where we worship on Sunday. They are the house of the Lord, set apart for the most sacred ordinances: making covenants with God, sealing families together forever, and doing ordinances on behalf of ancestors who have died. Anyone can visit a temple open house before it is dedicated, and members prepare carefully to go inside afterward. There are hundreds of temples around the world today, and Latter-day Saints believe this fulfills the prophecy that in the last days the mountain of the Lord’s house would be established.

Key verses
1. Isaiah 2:2-3
2And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’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. 3And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
“In the last days... the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains... and all nations shall flow unto it.” People will say, “let us go up... to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways.”
2. Micah 4:1-2
1But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Micah gives almost the same prophecy about the last days.
3. Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
“The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple.” A temple has to exist for Him to come to it.
4. Ezekiel 37:26-28
26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. 27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
God promises “my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.”
5. Exodus 25:8-9
8And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 9According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
“Let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them,” built after the pattern God showed.
6. 1 Kings 6:11-13
11And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying, 12Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father: 13And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
God promises Solomon He will dwell among Israel in the temple if they keep His commandments.
7. Psalm 24:3-4
3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart.” Worthiness to enter matters.
8. Luke 2:46-49
46And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 48And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
As a boy, Jesus is found in the temple and says, “wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?”
9. John 2:13-17
13And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; 16And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. 17And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Jesus cleanses the temple because it is “my Father’s house.”
10. Luke 24:52-53
52And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
After Jesus ascended, the disciples “were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.”
11. Acts 3:1
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Peter and John go “up together into the temple at the hour of prayer.” The apostles kept worshipping in the temple.
12. Isaiah 56:6-7
6Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
“Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”
13. Revelation 7:15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
The redeemed “serve him day and night in his temple.”
How other Christians read these verses
Most Christians teach that the temple was fulfilled in Jesus Christ (John 2:19-21) and that believers themselves are now God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16), so no temple buildings are needed after the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70. Some evangelicals expect a temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem before the Second Coming. Latter-day Saints believe both truths: our bodies are temples, and the Lord also commands holy houses to be built.
