Washington DC Temple

A Great Source of Light and Direction in a Darkened and Scary World

 Salt Lake Temple

The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind.
Satan has and will unleash every evil, every scheme, every blatant vile perversion
ever known to man in any generation. Just as this dispensation is the fullness of
times, so it is also the dispensation of the fullness of evil. We and our wives and
husbands, our children, and our members must find safety. There is no safety in
the world; wealth cannot provide it, enforcement agencies cannot assure it,
membership alone in this Church will not guarantee it.
Dominican Republic Temple

As the evil night darkens upon

this generation, we must come
to the temple for light and
safety. In our temples we find
quiet, sacred havens where the
storm cannot penetrate to us.
Unseen sentinels often times
watch over us. The Prophet
Joseph plead with God during
the dedicatory prayer at
Kirtland: "And we ask Thee
Holy Father that Thy servants
may go forth from this house
(temple) armed with Thy
power and that Thy name may
be upon them and thine angels
have charge over them."
The Lord has
promised, "For I will
go before your face. I
will be on your right
hand and on your left,
and my Spirit shall be
in your hearts, and
mine angels round
about you, to bear
you up.“ (Doctrine
& Covenants 84:88)
Surely angelic
attendants guard the
temples of the most
high God. It is my
conviction as it was in
the days of Elisha so it
will be for us. "They
that be with us are
more than they that
be with them.“ (2
Kings 6:16)
Hong Kong Temple

Before the Savior comes the world

will darken. There will come a time
when even the elect will begin to
lose hope if they do not come to the
temples.
 Rexburg, Idaho Temple

The world will be so filled with evil that the righteous will only feel secure through
their faith in Christ and within the temple walls.
 San Diego, California Temple

I believe the Saints will come to the temples not only to do vicarious work but to find a
God-given haven of peace. The true and faithful Latter-day Saints will long to bring
their children to our temples for safety's sake.
 Logan, Utah Temple

There will be greater hosts of unseen beings in the temple. Joseph told the brethren, "And I beheld that the
temple was filled with angels." (History of the Church, vol. 2, page 428.) I believe prophets of old as well as
those in this dispensation will visit the temples.
 Portland, Oregon Temple

Those who attend the temples will feel their strength and companionship. We
will not be alone in our temples.
Hawaii Temple

Endowed faithful members of the Church who keep all their

covenants including the sacred coverings will be safe as protected
behind temple walls. The covenants and ordinances are filled
with faith as a living fire.
In a day of desolation sickness, scorched earth, barren wastes, sickening plagues, disease, destruction, and death, (See Joel 2:2-6; also
Doctrine & Covenants 29 and 133) we as a people will rest in the shade of trees. We will drink from the cooling fountains. We will abide in
places of refuge from the storm. We will mount up as on eagles wings, we will be lifted out of a wicked, insane and evil world. We will be
as fair as the sun and clear as the moon.
The Savior will come and honor his
people. Those who are spared and
prepared for that glorious
triumphal day will be a temple
loving people. They will know him
and see him in his "red apparel,
and his garments like him that
treadeth in the wine-vat. The sun
shall hide his face in shame, and
the moon shall withhold its light,
and the stars shall be hurled from
their places.“ And the "redeemed
shall mention the loving kindness of
their Lord, and all that he has
bestowed upon them according to
his goodness." (Doctrine &
Covenants 133:48-49,52.)
They will cry out, "Blessed by the name of He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Thou art my God and I will bless thee, thou art my God and I will exalt thee." Then
we will all join in one grand "Hosannah" that will ring from one end of eternity to
the other. A hosannah shout to God and the Lamb.
 Cochabamba, Bolivia Temple

Let us prepare this special future generation with faith to surmount every trial and every condition. We will
do it in our holy sacred temples. Come, come, oh, come up to the temples of the Lord and walk in his
"holiness to the Lord" edifices.
 Salt Lake City, Temple

Those who live in that day, our children or children's children, will bow down at His
feet and worship Him as the Lord of lords, the King of kings.
They will bathe His feet with their tears and He will weep and bless them for having
suffered through the greatest trials ever known to man. His bowels will be filled with
compassion and his heart will swell wide as eternity and he will love them. He will bring
peace that will last a thousand years and they will dwell with him.
 Salt Lake City, Utah Temple

The Lord's temples stand as an ensign to the nations. They tower

upward as a monument to our Master and Savior. All that we do
in the temples ties us to the atonement. I thank God for grand and
holy temples. I thank God for the light, knowledge and instruction
that distills upon me and all who attend the temple.
May we praise his holy name
forever. May we always be
inclined toward his holy
purposes and may God watch
over and have mercy on all who
faithfully perform the glorious
work as Saviors on Mount Zion.
Oh, how beautiful are the feet,
the robes, the countenances, the
souls of those who come to the
holy temples of God.
Guatemala City, Guatemala Temple
It is not difficult to understand why the great God of heaven has reserved these special
spirits for the final work of the kingdom prior to his millennial reign.... This generation
will face trials and troubles that will exceed those of their pioneer forebears. Our
generation has had periods of some respite from the foe. The future generation will
have little or none....This is a chosen generation.... I believe today's [Church youth] will
lead the youth of the world through the most trying time in history.
