Nephi puts us on notice in his very first sentence that The Book of Mormon was written by temple worshippers and for temple worshippers. He and the other prophets of The Book of Mormon, who called themselves the visionary men and the peaceable followers of Christ, knew and practiced a mystery, an ordinance by which they ascended through the temple and entered into the presence of God. This ordinance was embodied in a dramatic representation of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden and their return to it, in which initiates played the roles of Adam and Eve or their descendants.

Nelson has viewed much of the world’s modern history through the lens of a special witness of Christ.

Unfortunately, it is very common for someone to enter the temple for the first time with little to no understanding of what to expect.

Prepare not only to go to the temple but to be in it as well. Temples are filled with ancient symbols that point directly to the Atonement.

By showing how these symbols all point back to Christ’s Atonement, he aims to enrich and enliven the worship experience that church members can and should expect when they attend the house of the Lord.
