Temple Work was emphasized,since Malachi's time; hence, the importance of doing Temple work for ancestors who are in the Spirit World. The onus is on the children (posterity) who are living to advance this work for the dead (fathers or ancestors), and doing the sealing ordinance for the living and the dead in the Temple.
