The Jerusalem Temple As The Great and Spacious Building and the Launch Of The Book of Mormon

If you have followed this channel, you know that I have stated over the years that in Lehi's Dream, the most likely building represented by the Great and Spacious Building, is the Temple at Jerusalem. Understanding why one might think this helps frame the launching of the Book of Mormon.

It's all about Jesus Christ and the mass corruption in the Temple of Solomon by the Deuteronomists at the time of Lehi and Jeremiah. 1 Nephi 1 opens with Lehi in a vision about Jesus Christ. This is what he was preaching. This is why they wanted to kill him.
