The subject of the Temple in Jerusalem usually generates a great deal of debate peppered with lots of questions. Some view the Temple as a building that was destroyed in the first century but will be built again to fulfill the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation. Others think the Temple is irrelevant because Yeshua’s (Jesus) sacrifice replaced it. Some are waiting for a new Temple to appear out of the heavens while others are taking steps to build it here on Earth. In this audiobook, Dr. Dinah Dye explores the ancient understanding of the temple from the birth of time.

Was the Temple always meant to be made of stone? Was the priesthood always intended to be tribal? Was the Kingdom ever meant to mirror empire? In King Revealed, Tekoa Manning explores the redemptive architecture of Scripture, tracing themes of Temple, priesthood, covenant, kingdom, and prophetic fulfillment from Genesis to the Second Temple period. Drawing from Hebraic context, Second Temple history, and apostolic writings, this theological exegesis challenges popular assumptions surrounding the Third Temple, covenant identity, Zionism, and the Kingdom of God.

In The Priesthood Power of Women, author Barbara Morgan Gardner explores teachings of the living prophets and scriptures to increase our understanding of God's power as it operates in the temple, the Church, and the family. Her well-documented research demonstrates that women have more authority and power in all those settings than they may have previously supposed.

Ancient Faith has produced a fresh update and redesign of a book cherished by a generation of seekers. Written in an accessible manner for the average lay person, Orthodox Worship offers insights into the Orthodox liturgy.

Alfred Edersheim’s book is a guide to the Holy Temple that attempts to relay the essence of the temple’s significance in the life of Israel and in the theology of the early Christians. The author shares his detailed knowledge of the building and its environment, the utensils used, and the tasks of the priests on the major holidays like Passover, Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Whether you’re receiving your endowment for the first time or seeking to expand your understanding of temple worship after a lifetime of attendance, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of the temple experience as you come to understand the basic doctrines and principles of the temple.

Throughout history, God’s covenant people have always participated in ritual worship to remind themselves of God’s love and to enable them to walk a pure, holy, and godly path. One of the ancient practices that the Lord restored through Joseph Smith is the building of temples and administering the accompanying ordinances and covenants. But even though Latter-day Saints understand that ordinances and covenants are necessary for salvation, many―including those who attend the temple regularly―struggle to understand the practice of temple worship.

At various points in Israel's history, God dwelt in specific, significant places, most notably in the tabernacle and the temple. These structures, meticulously planned, extravagantly furnished, and regularly frequented by the devout, were more than just places of worship and sacrifice. They were pictures of God's relationship with his chosen people and of the atoning work that would be done by the Messiah. To understand the tabernacle and the temple, then, is to understand how we are brought into God's family through the sacrifice of his only son, Jesus.

The Garden in Eden was filled with fruit-producing trees, sprouting plants and grasses, and gently flowing rivers. Adam, G-d's chosen king/priest, was called to cultivate the garden's fertile soil, to guard the sacred space from external enemies, and to rule over the Earth. After breaking covenant with YHWH, his king, Adam was banished to the field, a place of thorns and thistles, where he became a slave to the earth. The Temple Revealed in the Garden: Priests and Kings examines the Garden story from an ancient Near East perspective.

A journalistic memoir by a lapsed evangelical Christian that examines how the ecological crisis is shifting the ground of religious faith.

The Temple Revealed in Noah’s Ark: From Chaos to Order examines Noah and the flood story from an ancient Near Eastern cultural and historical perspective through the lens of creation and order, chaos and tyranny, and kingship. It looks at the cosmos as a kingdom, the mountain as the center of government, the ark as the bulwark against chaos, and the vineyard as a sign of new creation.

Jesus speaks of the body as being the living temple of God and refers to His own body as a temple. His words are misunderstood, as was much of His message to those who lived in those times. The Bible states that health and wellness are found with God. If your body is full of disease, it is because of the choices you have made. All disease comes from our diet. Our genes have nothing to do with whether we get sick or not.

Nephi's small plates are a time capsule from the sixth century B.C., containing a "loser's eye view" of religion that strongly contrasts with the ideology of the Jerusalem establishment of the time. Lehi's dream and Nephi's interpretive vision are visionary-literary accounts of the two temple ordinances at the heart of the worship of Lehi's "visionary men" -- the Peace Offerings and the Day of Atonement. Learning to understand those visions opens up the rest of the Book of Mormon, and ancient scripture in general.

It has been my wish in this book, to take the reader back eighteen centuries; to show him Jerusalem as it was, when our Lord passed through its streets, and the Sanctuary, when He taught in its porches and courts; to portray, not only the appearance and structure of the Temple, but to describe its ordinances and worshippers, the ministry of its priesthood, and the ritual of its services. In so doing, I have hoped, not only to illustrate a subject, in itself most interesting to the Bible-student, but also, and chiefly, to sketch, in one important aspect, the religious life of the period in ...

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889), a Jewish convert to Christianity, was a Biblical scholar and author. The Alfred Edersheim Box Set includes his three most popular works "The Temple - Its Ministry and Service", "Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah", and "Sketches of Jewish Social Life". In these books on the life and times of Jesus, the author discusses the temple, the priesthood and the Jewish festivals, and examines the customs and traditions of everyday Jewish life in first century Palestine.

There was not any one entity more central to the Yahwistic Judean religion during the monarchy than the temple of Solomon. It symbolized the presence of YHWH in the nation, as well as his enduring protection of the nation and the Davidic royal throne. Judean worshippers directed their prayers toward the Solomonic temple, and eventually, the Judean prophets and theologians declared that this was the only legitimate location where priests could perform sacrifices and other religious rites for YHWH.

The earliest Christian document outside of the New Testament is almost certainly The Didache, which is also known as The Lord’s Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations. In its final chapter, the author says that in the last days, the sheep will turn into wolves and the Deceiver of the world will commit abominations that have never been seen since the world began. Is this what Paul had in mind when he wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12?
