Both books and buildings have voices. But rather than using the letters of an alphabet, buildings use towers and spires, columns and buttresses, mosaics and paintings, glass and geometric figures, and statues and friezes to speak volumes. However, the message of a building can often be difficult for most of us to recognize. For Latter-day Saints, temples are the most important and symbolic buildings in existence. Through temples, the unique doctrines of the restored gospel are communicated. Although the bulk of this instruction occurs inside the temple, temple exteriors also tell of these profound doctrines&#8212when you understand how to read them. This unique and fascinating book is designed to help you see the house of the Lord with new eyes as you examine the "voices" of temple exteriors, along with the "voices" of the Book of Mormon. Each chapter contains an examination of a sermon or vision in the Book of Mormon related to the temple. This is accompanied by a stunning photo essay of temple exteriors and enlightening commentary that examines the main symbolic motifs of a specific temple. Filled with "I never noticed that before" moments, every chapter will offer new insights as you discover how each temple tells a different story through architectural symbolism. Gain a deeper understanding of the symbolic patterns and doctrines of the temple, not only for the ordinances but also for the beautiful buildings in which they are performed. As you learn how to read the messages hidden in plain sight, you will never look at temples the same way.

Awake and Arise - Coming Tribulation and Judgement, With a Mighty and Strong One to Deliver. The Last-days According to Isaiah.

The heavens provide light and truth. Man cannot change them. God's faithful witnesses in the sun, the moon, and the wandering stars were the "lights" He set in the heavens, they are His calendar and they have much to teach us. There special alignments - conjunctions of planets (increased light) and eclipses of the sun and the moon (diminished light) - marked by special "holy days" tied to our Savior's birth and death. They also mark His second coming and return. Rare events such as the blood-moons, eclipses and astronomical alignments have returned again today with ties to the covenant people. What do they mean? How are they tied to our Lord's Atonement, calendar, and return? The Prophet Joseph Smith and the other early Church founders pursued Hebrew instruction. Joseph invited Rabbi Joshua Seixas to the school of the Prophets to instruct them on the finer points of Hebrew language, Holy days and Calendars. Most modern Latter-day Saints have never even considered a need to learn about astronomical "signs of the times." Val Brinkerhoff has restored much of the learning and mysteries that were common knowledge to our Church founders. His research and insights are awakening within those people who have eyes to see and ears to hear the heavenly correlations, signs and wonders that the Lord established from "the foundation of the world."
