The Temple Was Always There. We Just Missed It.

The restored gospel didn’t “start” in 1830, it’s ancient, and Abraham’s story is one of the clearest windows into the covenant pathway and temple worship. In this conversation with Jeff Bradshaw (senior research scientist and leading Latter-day Saint temple scholar), we explore how the Abraham narratives in Genesis (and the restoration through the Joseph Smith Translation and the Book of Abraham) point to: • The Abrahamic Covenant as the New & Everlasting Covenant (and the Oath & Covenant of the Priesthood) • How Abraham’s life models obedience, sacrifice, consecration, and promised blessings • Melchizedek and what “king and priest” can mean spiritually • The sacrament as a renewal of all our covenants (not just baptism) • New names (Abraham/Sarah) and initiatory connections • Sealing “welding links,” messy family stories, and God’s power to heal and gather If you’ve ever wondered why Abraham’s story matters for your discipleship and temple worship today—this episode is for you. ===Informed Saints Credits=== Produced by The Ancient America Foundation Producer: Spencer Clark Hosts: Stephen Smoot, Neal Rappleye, Jasmin Rappleye Chapters: 0:00 Intro - Jeffrey Bradshaw works & scholarship 5:15 How can Abraham & the covenant impact our temple worship? 10:15 Parallels between modern & ancient covenants 14:00 Melchizedek & the fullness of the priesthood 18:43 The sacrament administered anciently 22:55 The initiatory ordinance in Abraham 28:12 Lot, his decedents & family abuse 31:56 Brother Bradshaw’s testimony of Abraham Resources mentioned: Jeffrey M.
