- In reference to verses 15 and 16 Elder David B Haight explained that the promise to see God in the temple has been fulfilled for some literally. He also explains here though that seeing God can mean "coming to know [God], discerning Him, recognizing Him and His work, perceiving His importance, or coming to understand Him." (See "Temples and Work Therein" from the October 1990 General Conference.)

Verse 21
- "Zion is wherever righteous Saints are. Publications, communications, and congregations are now such that nearly all members have access to the doctrines, keys, ordinances, and blessings of the gospel, regardless of their location. Spiritual security will always depend upon how one lives, not where one lives. Saints in every land have equal claim upon the blessings of the Lord."
