Jacob
realized that the covenants he made with the Lord there were the rungs
on the ladder that he himself would have to climb in order to obtain
the promised blessings--blessings that would entitle him to enter heaven
and associate with the Lord . . . Temples are to us what Bethel was
to Jacob.
(President Marion G. Romney, "Temples--The Gates to Heaven,"
Ensign, March 1971, p. 16) |
