The Church Plans to Build TWO MORE TEMPLES in Kirtland? What Would They Be Used For?

We were at the Kirtland Temple last summer,(2023) but did not have an opportunity to go in. I walked up and touched the foundation stones, and had the distinct impression that the original temple blessings were still in place, and that the building was waiting to fulfill its divine destiny. It was with joy I learned this year of the Church's purchase of this historic building, so reverenced by so many people.

Here’s a thought. If the plans for the 3 temples are still to come to pass, maybe the 3rd temple building, the one for the printing of the translations of scripture, will be for translating the coming scriptures that Elder Holland is preparing us to receive in his most recent Facebook post! So exciting!

I work in the Church Office Building. All the buildings used for the administration of the Church are dedicated. Broadcasting and Events is a department. It includes the Motion Picture Studio, the Goshen site, the Conference Center, the Tabernacle, and any off-site recording (video). The law (General Conference) already goes out from "Broadcasting." Friend to Friend, BYU broadcasts, broadcasts for Young Single Adults, the Youth, etc.

Remember the fuss people made when the church announced they were going to renovate the Manti temple and take out the murals? Well taking out the murals would have been the only way to make renovations to become ADA compliant. When the church reversed their decision they announced the Ephraim temple less than 10 miles away. The church is using a ADA compliance provision. If you have a historical building it can be left non-ADA compliant if you have a building of similar use within 10 miles. That's why the Ephraim temple was announced, so they could work within those guidelines and still preserve it. I don't know what the laws are in Ohio, but I could see something similar with the Kirtland temple if another temple is announced nearby.

I've always been adamantly against home schooling, but crazy enough we had these pretty distinct impressions to start homeschooling--so this year was our first year (with seven kids...yeah...). It's crazy how many people we know who have been receiving similar impressions. We've had a LOT of impressions that this is part of the transition to a Millennial society. I'm nearly positive schooling and learning will be very different than it is now.

There’s going to be one feature of the millennium that will blissfully begin immediately, no more crime.

If you have been in the Church Administration Building, or Joseph Smith Building, etc., it does have that sacred feeling as if you were in a temple. Maybe not quite as sacred, but still a spiritual and holy place...a "temple" as it were.

I agree with you Jared on the kirland temple. I don't belueve the church purchased the Kirkland temple just for historical benefits. Nit that that too us important, however I don't think it was for that purpose only. This was my thoughts upon announcement the church purchased thus temple. Thank you for sharing this great information.

I do believe that there will be many gathering places, lds communities, before the 2nd comming. These communites may be modeled after the New Jerusalem and they will be called stakes.

So many temples announced in recent years... To help the work go forward We need to be faithful in paying our tithing and our fast offerings. We as members also need to pray for the temples in the announced areas that they might have any opposition removed, and a spirit of peace prevade, and that the temples will be built quickly. We can do much through prayer, service, and donating rather than just "waiting" for the temples to be built. And most importantly we need to attend the temples and strive to fully live up to the covenants that we make in those temples. Then will the blessings of "great power and glory" be poured out upon the Saints and the Temples will fulfill their purpose.

It’s very interesting that the church office building downtown is 28 story high and then when you add like contemplate a lobby and then you contemplate like maintenance and the balconies I wonder if it’s almost the same thing except for the we had the technology to build up instead of take up a whole block I’d be really curious to know if there was a dedicatory prayer for that building

Well...there's still space to build them without much trouble. 😊

During the millennium, I suspect the teaching and administration of the world will be done through something like internet, but will likely be via urims and thummims, the stone who those will receive. This is what they were often used for by Joseph Smith, as tools of instructing, and viewing, and seeing.

The other restorationist branches will not like this very much 😬 but we can’t let that get in the way of Gods will

Had been saying they should build a full, complementary temple right nearby.

The stake of Zion is an amazing phrase.

In your podcast. The main thing I like was you mentioned the Higher order of the Priesthood.

It would be interesting to know what today's numbers are compared to the numbers in the Dyer article which is from 50 years old.

All five of Elder Dyer's books are recommended reading.

I still hear people refer to the temple as the "Lord's University."
