Tabernacle as a Defense
I was reading 2 Nephi 14:5-6. It seems clear that where Zion is, there will also be a tabernacle or temple to act as a shield and defense from the heat, storm, and rain. 2 Nephi 14:4 speaks of the cleansing that will take place in the church and then right after it speaks of the temple. So how do we keep ourselves from falling into the traps of worldliness, we go to the temple and then leave to keep the covenants we make therein. Obedience, sacrifice, and consecration that we might have humble hearts. These acts keep us humble, prayerful, continually looking for ways to build up Zion and her people. If we are consecrating all that we have and are to the building of the kingdom, then there is not time to wallow in the mire. Everything we do can be consecrated for the welfare of Zion.
