18:43 – The righteous people of Ezekiel’s day receive a mark on their forehead, similar to John’s vision in Revelation.
21:21 – The glory of God leaves the temple in Jerusalem and goes eastward. Jehovah does not abandon his people during the Exile.

40:48 – Past works of righteousness do not permit us to abandon our faith in God today.

50:22 – The rule of the prophets.

1:14:19 – Ezekiel is told that the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah will “become one in thine hand.”
1:20:01 – The Lord destroys Gog and Magog and makes his holy name known.
1:23:00 – Ezekiel’s visionary experience of the future temple in Jerusalem, with sacred waters coming forth and the healing the land.
1:32:08 – Ezra Taft Benson shared that “the temple will be a standing witness that the power of God can stay the powers of evil in our midst.” Our communities and families will be protected by living the gospel and being connected to the temple.

I would like to second Bryce’s witness of temples healing nations, families, and people. I served a mission in West Germany in 1983-84 a few years prior to the wall coming down. In a multi-regional conference in 1984 in Frankfurt, Elder Maxwell gave what I felt was a prophecy of Germany…that one day Temples will “Dot the Main River.” This River is relatively short when compared to the Rhrein River, so how could this be done? Small temples is a start. But perhaps one day, maybe in the Millennium, healing will take place…maybe by physical temple buildings…maybe by spiritual temple-like homes and families. It has healed my family, so why not those in Germany?
