Описание: This Temple Pattern Is Hiding in Plain Sight Throughout Scripture | Dr. John Thompson | EP63

Most Latter-day Saints have seen the Plan of Salvation drawn as circles and lines.

Egyptologist Dr. John Thompson argues this may be why we’ve missed something much bigger.

In this episode, he reveals a temple pattern that appears again and again throughout scripture—from Exodus and Isaiah to the teachings of Jesus—and explains why the Plan of Salvation may be less about a diagram of where we go after death and more about the Christ-centered journey God is taking us through right now.

But there’s an obvious objection:

Are we really discovering a pattern in Scripture, or simply reading one into the text?

John puts the idea to the test.

We explore the Exodus from Egypt, Mount Sinai, the Promised Land, Isaiah, the Sermon on the Mount, the Book of Mormon, and the temple, and ask whether these seemingly different stories actually repeat the same journey back into God's presence.

And eventually the conversation becomes much more personal:

Where am I on that journey?

What is God asking me to do next?

If you’ve ever struggled to understand Isaiah, wondered how the temple connects to scripture, or wanted your scripture study to feel less fragmented and more meaningful, this episode may change the way you read.

Watch the full conversation and test the pattern for yourself.
