The Lord's University #2

I often enjoy finding scriptures in the Old and New Testaments that reflect my feelings on what we are taught in church. As I reflected further on this University of the Lord concept, I turned to the scriptures and found what I was looking for. Joseph had an Institute teacher that showed that 'mountain' was often a replacement for temple in the scriptures. Sometimes it is important to be able to distinguish between where the Lord is talking about a physical mountain vs a temple. Moses went into the mountains to seek the Lord and found him there, as did Aaron.

Isaiah 2:2-3 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us ago up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the flaw, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Later in Isaiah (Chp 65 v 9 & 11) "Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it...But ye are they that forsake the Lord, that forget my holy mountain" In 1993 in a conference address, Pres. Monson stated that when the Salt Lake City Temple was erected it was called, "The Mountain of the Lord's house."

2 Nephi 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand

Micah 4:2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the claw shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
