Jacob’s dream of the “ladder” (also translated as “flight of steps”175) is set in the context of a temple (see Gen. 28:12–19). Jacob stated “this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven”; Jacob also called the place Bethel (Hebrew: “house of God”), and he testified, “Surely the Lord is in this place” (Gen. 28:16–17). Furthermore, in the dream, God made covenants with Jacob that pertain to the Abrahamic covenant. Note also Joseph Smith’s correlation of the “three principal rounds of Jacob’s Ladder” with “the Telestial, the Terrestrial, and the Celestial glories or Kingdoms.”176 As we keep our temple covenants, we move from the earth (telestial) upward to heaven (celestial).
