Great day in seminary today, we went over the rest of doctrine and covenants 42. we talked about the Kirtland temple and why the Kirtland temple was important to be established. It allowed the Saints to receive endowments and he brought back three specific keys to the earth. Moses brought back the gathering keys, Elijah brought back the ceiling keys, and Elias brought back the keys associated with temple work.

In addition at this point the Saints Raible to start going out on missions in greater numbers. The Lord prepare the Saints my moving them to Ohio,not only did they receive the temple blessings, but now they have great access to transportation and it was easier for the Saints to depart on missions.

In addition many other revelations were received at this time namely section 76, 89, 107, and 137. Joseph Smith also began his translation of the Bible
With this great outpouring of the Spirit in these wonderful spiritual blessings Satan was still on the hunt for the souls of men. persecutions increased the Saints were tormented, and ultimately the Saints had to leave Ohio because of the persecution and the fear of their lives that they had.

Questions:
What is an endowment? Why are endowments important? What endowments happen in the temple, and why is the temple endowment important for missionary work? Why does the Lord send out missionaries two by two? what are some reasons the Lord sent the Saints to Ohio?
