Tip of the Day, February 18

February 18 – Temple Garments & Masonic Markings. God dresses us through Christ Jesus in the garments of salvation He spoke of in Isaiah 61:10; “I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels”.

Under the Mormon’s “street clothing” are their temple garments. These garments are to be worn at all times. They have Masonic markings on the groin area and each breast for both male, and female. Mormons see them as a sign of protection from God and to be set apart from the rest of the world. They use Rev. 16:15 as a reference to their need of being clothed with them.
