ANCIENT PRAYER CIRCLES

After having offered a sacrifice that echoes our own temple worship today, Adam and Eve, "made all things known unto their sons and daughters". Therefore we should see evidences of temple worship in some form, in many cultures and ancient worship ceremonies around the world. In this episode we examine the ancient prayer circles and civilizations in the United Kingdom that worshiped their own Deity in very similar fashions that we worship in the temple. Even outward symbols on our temples represent the same symbols that these ancient peoples found important to surround themselves with. Truly the Endowment is of ancient origin and has been restored in these latter days. We are all part of the same family and were taught originally by the same parents. The temple has always been about families. God's children here on Earth, being reunited now and through the eternities.
