Dear Brother Addams,
Thank you for this wonderfully detailed article.
I have a question that’s been confusing me. Hoping your experience on this subject can help.
Revelation 21:22 says there was “no temple therein”. Does that refer to the city Zion (New Jerusalem) that descended or the city of Zion (New Jerusalem) that the saints will build in Missouri? The one the Saints build is supposed to have at least one temple.
Hoping you could shed some light on this and maybe point out anything I can read on the subject.
Thanks,
Stuart
What years did you serve?
I have been doing research in Missouri for sixteen years and have met many wonderful people in the various Expressions of the Restoration. The overall experience has been one of the great blessings of my life. I am anxious to do more soon.
I am certain that being in this special area as part of your mission was wonderful.
Thank you. I served in the Central States Mission under G. Carlos Smith and Wayne C. Player. This area of thought was often on our minds.
