Today's Favorite Verse: 2 Nephi 12:2

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, when the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it."

I love the temple and I know this is the meaning of Isaiah's quote that Jacob is referencing. Prophets of old would go up into the mountains to speak with the Lord. I think its because of the isolation you get so high above the ground. Being so high above the earth your perspective changes, giving your a sense of your nothingness. It's very humbling to go up on a mountain. Even more so if your going to speak to the Lord. 

Prophets of old, at times had tabernacles or temples, but the majority of time so few had access to these blessings. Once again the heavens are open and the Lord's house has been established in the tops of the mountains. Most LDS Temples around the world stand in prominent raised places. But I think Isaiah is referring to the great rocky mountains and what I see along the Wasatch Front. If I drove up the Wasatch Front from Payson to Brigham City I would pass ten, soon to be eleven temples. It is a marvelous sight.

I pondered on how regardless of race, creed, nationality or sex everyone now can enter the temple, if they are found worthy. Indeed temples are dotting the earth and all nations flow into them. These are the days that Isaiah saw. These are the days to prepare for the Savior's second coming. Temples dotting the earth are blessing the earth.
