noticings

What did I notice this morning? Hm. Oh yea, I was listening--I bought the triple on CD so I can listen to it on my way to work which actually helps me a lot not to stress out too much. Anyway, it also provides a different perspective sometimes, having the other sense stimulated, hearing someone else's inflections, etc. Anyway, so one of the things I heard this morning was that in the millenium, not only will all unsacred and terrible things come to light, as we remember often with the common phrase--their sins will spoken from the rooftops, or something like that. Anyway, so not only will all of the bad come to light, but also, there will be nothing that is sacred save it shall be revealed. Now, as this will be a good time in the world's history, I think--unless I misunderstood and this was pre-millenium, but anyway, so if this is a good thing, as I suppose it is, then won't that be interesting that everything that is sacred can be known among men and that it will be respected? Will everyone then be worthy? I don't know. I've heard that there will still be people who are not members of the Church on the earth at that time and missionary work will still be going, so if they're not members, I would have to suppose that they were not worthy to enter the temple either, since baptism is a precursor to everything in the temple (except sealing to parents for those younger than eight). So, perhaps the revelation isn't quite that the sacred will be revealed to everyone, but that all things sacred will be available to everyone. It's kind of interesting to think about. I'd be interested in learning more about it, because I admit, I'm still a little hazy on it.
