[Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong> We are pleased to present chapter 7 from a book entitled Anachronisms: Accidental Evidence in Book of Mormon Criticisms.

\u201c\u201cGet Thou Up into the Temple\u201d: Receiving Revelation and Becoming Holy in the House of the Lord,\u201d<\/a> written by Matthew L. Bowen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Abstract:<\/strong> Psalms 15:1\u20135, 24:2\u20133, and 48:1 [MT 2], as temple hymns of the Jerusalem Temple, are consistent with other texts such as Isaiah 2:2\u20133 and Genesis 22:14, which envision the holy temple as the \u201cmountain of the Lord\u201d into which one must ritually ascend. The examples of Moses, Nephi, Jacob, and others who ascended into this \u201cmountain\u201d demonstrate that this ascent facilitates the reception of divine revelation necessary in our mortal journey to become holy through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. This sacred ascent is necessary for our eventual, individual, and collective \u201cperfection\u201d in Christ, and it is one that he himself consistently made. Recently, President Russell M. Nelson and other Church leaders have emphasized the wealth of spiritual blessings that result from increased, meaningful service in the temple. If we, as Latter-day Saints, will more frequently and diligently ascend and worship in the temple, we will receive the personal revelation, instruction, and divine correction that we need to help us more fully come unto Christ. He will also console us there, endow us with the strength to endure, and make us more holy.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just a few weeks ago, on flydubai<\/a>, I traveled twice over the entirety of the Islamic Republic of Iran, from south to north and then again from north to south. \u00a0From Dubai to Samarkand and, thereafter, from Tashkent back to Dubai. \u00a0I thought doing so worthy of note. \u00a0I had never done it before. \u00a0But that route is on hold right now, for understandable reasons. \u00a0Furthermore, while I was in Samarkand I was informally invited to participate in an academic conference on comparative Muslim and Christian ethics to be held in Qom<\/a> this fall. \u00a0I was inclined to go, if at all possible. At this point, however, I doubt that I will. \u00a0Dang.<\/p>\n

Is this an early (1563) artist\u2019s conception (by Pieter Brueghel the Elder) of the Cody Wyoming Temple and its immediate surroundings? Here\u2019s a gentle hint: No. It\u2019s not.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cHigh Court Hands LDS Church<\/a> Win On Controversial 101-Foot Cody Temple:\u00a0The Wyoming Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling Friday, denying a Cody group the chance to challenge the approval of a Latter-day Saints temple. The decision ends two years of controversy over the 101-foot-tall temple in a residential neighborhood.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
Construction of the massive 9950-square-foot temple in Cody, Wyoming, is well along, and the most recent news suggests that the final legal challenge to its completion has at last been exhausted. \u00a0I can, I suppose, perhaps understand just a little bit why people in the residential area immediately adjacent to the future temple \u2014 a pretty diffuse and uncrowded residential area, it seems \u2014 might feel uncomfortable at its construction, although I expect that it will prove a better neighbor than they expect and that it will actually be an asset to the neighborhood. \u00a0But I never had any patience for claims that it would block views of the mountains, obscure the night sky, and tower imperialistically over the city of Cody. \u00a0I mean, really<\/em>. \u00a0Come on. \u00a0Just look at the photographs that accompany the article to which I\u2019ve linked above, or at the photographs that are provided here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
