I had never noticed this concise description of the narrative which underscores the temple endowment ceremony. The doctrine isn’t new but I don’t think there is any single place in scripture which declares the spiritual historic foundation that is used to give context to the covenants made in the temple endowment. It is here in Section 29, given within the first 6 months after the church was established, that the Lord has clearly revealed the foundations of his temporal work. After the saints built a temple years later He had a place to deliver the covenants which activate and bring to completion the plan of redemption in our individual lives.
