About this listen

Have you noticed that President Russell M. Nelson keeps reminding us that the modern temple endowment has “ancient” roots? If you do not know what this means—if you do not have a solid understanding of what was done in the temples of ancient Israel—then you are missing many of the most basic and important aspects of your temple experience.

Unfortunately, it is very common for someone to enter the temple for the first time with little to no understanding of what to expect. And the five-minute rundown someone receives from the stake president hardly changes that. It is also common for people to adopt the philosophy that if they return to the temple often, then time and repetition will teach them what they need to know. For a lot of people, however, that only leads to decades of continually doing the same thing without knowing why or where these things began.

Just as President Nelson says, an understanding of these things can be found in “ancient” times. By using a mix of history and personal experience, Russell McConkie does a beautiful job of making these things personable and easy to understand. Whether you are preparing to receive your own endowment, or you have been attending the temple for many decades, Exodus Endowment will help broaden your understanding of the history and purpose of our modern temple ceremonies.
