ISAIAH 2 The Mountain of the Lord How have temples helped you walk in the Lord s paths?
ISAIAH 2 These unique and wonderful buildings and their ordinances represent the ultimate in our worship.

ISAIAH 2 I promise you that all who faithfully attend to temple work will be blessed beyond measure. Your families will draw closer to the Lord, unseen angels will watch over your loved ones when satanic forces tempt them.
