This is wonderful, at my age I'll never get to see the Temple in person. "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains" thank you for doing this 😊

WOW!!! I got goosebumps just watching. I will probably never be able to see the temple in this life, so thank you for showing us through. It is a sacred place.

According to an entry on the Religious Studies Center website at BYU, the book, “Kirtland, Ohio: A Guide to Family History and Historical Sources,” by Kip Sperry cites a variety of sources to build a consensus as to the specific meanings of the initials or acronyms on the pulpits, as follows: WEST TIER, MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD PULPITS (top row to bottom row): - M.P.C. Melchizedek Presiding Council (First Presidency of the Church or Stake) - P.M.H. Presiding Melchizedek High Priesthood (Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, or Stake High Council) - M.H.P. Melchizedek High Priesthood (High Priests Quorum) - P.E.M. Presiding (Presidency) Elders Melchizedek (representing Elders Quorum) EAST TIER, AARONIC PRIESTHOOD PULPITS (top row to bottom row): - B.P.A. Bishop Presiding over Aaronic Priesthood - P.A.P. Presiding (Presidency) Aaronic Priests - P.T.A. Presiding (Presidency) Teachers, Aaronic - P.D.A. Presiding (Presidency) Deacons, Aaronic

Oh how grateful I am to see this temple… to see the history of ourLDS temple… but to also see something that a many great grandfather helped to build. Thank you!

The baby joins in! “Hosanna!” 👶

Thank you for showing us all the different places in the temple; particularly where keys were restored and the Savior appeared.

Thank you I love this tour and am so grateful we can care for this sacred building.

Casey, you are my favorite teacher. Thank you so much!

Just wonderful Casey. So many cannot visit so this is a joy!

I lived in Ohio in the early 2000's and was able to have a Sacrament Meeting in the Kirtland Temple as part of a YSA conference. Truly one of the coolest opportunities and experiences I've been a part of.

This was such a delightful experience! Thank you so much, Casey. It is on my bucket list to see this beautiful temple in person. This tour was so great that it was almost like being there!

Thank You for the insights to the Kirtland temple. Amazing !!! I love the way you teach...

This is amazing!!! Thanks you so much for doing this! 💛🙏🏼💛

Thanks for the tour and backstories!

Thank you so much! This brings many special memories to my heart from when my husband and I served at the Kirtland Historic Sites as a Senior Couple from 2021-22. We were able to hold special meetings, a testimony meeting, & service project in the Kirtland Temple.♥️🎶👏🇺🇸

I was baptized this past Saturday and me and my family all went to Kirtland to see the temple and the village and store. Plus we made our way to the Johnson Farm in Hiram Ohio. It was incredible and I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic video! I loved the tour, and seeing some of the spots you don't hear as much about was very cool. When I go in person I'll make sure I'm prepared for the stairs! That building is so unique and significant in our history, it is remarkable that it has endured over time and is in the condition it is. Many, many thanks to our friends at the Community of Christ for taking such phenomenal care of the temple for so long and preserving it prior to the change of ownership.

You're such experts on so many topics at Scripture Central! You do deserve thanks and admiration,.

I toured the temple many years ago as a missionary in Ohio. It will be so exciting to see how the restoration continues. We also owe such huge appreciation to the Community of Christ for maintaining the building so wonderfully. (Our group of missionaries had a fantastic spiritual experience with our guide as she described the area where the Savior appeared: she whispered to us that she was supposed to say that Joseph and Oliver had just had ‘spiritual experiences’ there, but she knew that the Savior had been there!)

Thank you, Casey. I really like the way you teach

Thank you for making this wonderful video for us to enjoy! It was such a joy to go on this tour. I hope I can go in person someday!

Thank you brother Griffin for the wonderful tour

Thank you so much. It really means a lot to be able to see and hear the story of the Kirtland Temple.

Wow, this was an awesome tour, thank you ❤

Oh wow!! This was amazing!!! I’m in Ireland so a long way from this Temple!! Mind blowing to think we can identify where Jesus stood! Thanks so much to everyone who made this! Really enjoyed it ❤

I always love these because I hate traveling 😂

Many many thanks for this tour and explanation of the first temple of our dispensation. So much spiritually rich history. God bless and please keep on sharing our fascinating church history. 🙏🏻❤️😊

This is so amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Awesome video! Learned so many things!

Thank you for this tour of the Kirtland Temple. I cannot travel so this presentation made the tour even more interesting and memorable.

THANK YOU for this wonderful tour! ❤️

This tour is such an inspiration. I could feel the passion and commitment of the saints thru the tour. I could feel the Spirit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for our Prophet Joseph Smith and the Apostles with him for persevering and bringing the Gospel into our lives thru Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Thank you for this tour of the Kirkland Temple.

Casey, Thank you and your staff for this great presentation of the Kirtland Temple. So many people will not be able to see it and it is so special.

Thank you!

What a wonderful tour of the temple. I enjoyed it very much. I especially like all the details and stories.

Thank you! It was so helpful to hear the history while seeing the actual temple. What a sacred space!

" there's a lot of stairs...." hahaha iloveyou Casey, thank you for showing us the beauty and magnificence of the Kirtland Temple.

Loved this! Thank you for the tour!

This was refreshing after all the cares of the world. I'm glad we have this church in these latter days. I also have a testimony that Jesus is the Christ and the founder of this His church. Thank you for the video.

Thank you so much for showing us the wonderful Kirtland Temple! Greatly appreciate it 😊❤

I loved getting to go and tour this temple.

Thank you. I don't know if I will ever make it to Kirtland to see the temple for myself, but I am grateful for your tour and explanation of this sacred site. Thank you!

Way to rock those steps, Casey!! Great video, great overview, fascinating details about the temple, and as always, great job narrating the walk-through.

Awesome! Thank you for the exceptional video and tour

This was awesome! Thanks for the tour. I didn't know that we still have the original glass window. Does anyone know exactly how much of the temple is original? It sounds like most of it is.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I don’t know this brother‘s name, but remember seeing him before!!! So want to thank you very much for your wonderful presentation, your service, and your time, and climbing those 99 steps, is it?!? so happy that this Kirtland temple has come back into the church’s hands, though the other church did a wonderful job of preserving it, and respecting it, etc.!!! This is so very educational and emotional also!! Yes, it is wonderful about Jesus Christ being there!!! Thank you to any and all that helped make this video and help bring it to all of us on KZfaq… Love, Sister Gay Michaelis(and brother Duane Michaelis on the other side of the veil) and family ❤️🙏😇🤗👍🌎

Thank you so much for allowing us to have the opportunity to visit the Kirtland Temple, while being thousands of miles away (France). I am not sure to be able to ever visit it in person.

Thank you from australia

How wonderful! I was especially wondering if it was known exactly where the Savior appeared and you answered my question. What a wonderful video!!!

Wonderful!!!

Thank you. l am grateful this temple is returned to the Lord and His Saints.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Been there -- we were seated in that large room where the benches were, and sang "The Spirit of God" -- which made it feel more like 'our' church. I imagine this building will be completely destroyed and rebuilt. Awesome to have this tour!!! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the wonderful tour!

Amazing video thanks so much for sharing this.

You guys have great videos! Thank you for this

Thank you for the tour. Watching from Philippines ❤

Give bro Griffiths a break after climbing all those stairs haha 😂

Thank you for this tour and for your wonderful testimony. I was recently asked to give a talk on Joseph Smith’s dedicatory prayer in section 109, and I learned so much. Seeing this makes it even more meaningful.

Thanks to Scripture Central for making this experience available to all.

Beautiful!

I echo the MANY thanks, also, for ur efforts - BLESS YOUR HEART ❤️ so very , very much for this so beautifully illustrated & accomplished. To feel along side the exhilarations of Our Marvelous Prophet Joseph Smith is truly an honor!

Thank you so much for doing this. It is amazing indeed!

Thank you Casey, this was so fun to come along with you on this FABULOUS tour. Makes me so excited to come visit this summer-guess I better get in shape first for those stairs haha

Although I already know about the kirtland temple in the scriptures.but still I am very curious of what inside of it.hoping that one of this day I can experience what is the feelings inside of the house of the LORD.thank you for this brother.

Do any of the windows in the Kirtland Temple open up, either then or now?

I had the opportunity about 10 years ago to go into the basement of the temple. It was cool!

Amazing construction, how many years to construct?

Thank you for the tour that was wonderful, I hope I can visit there but……

Any idea if the current owners will do any renovations, such as strengthening the top floor to allow more people and/or furniture?

Wow My friend was there many years ago a d said she could feel a power where Jesus had stood

Thank you

I'm curious if anyone has done a tour with both the COC church and LDS church. What was similar? What was different? I've only seen Elder MacKay's online tour, and visited the site a week after reopening with the Missionaries. Any insight between the two tours is appreciated.

FYI: M.P.C. (Melchizedek Presiding Council) - First Presidency of the Church or Stake Presidency P.M.H.

I wish I can visit Kirtland temple

Love. IT!

11:08 Kirtland is so innovative they drive backwards.😂😂

I know of a place in the forest in Canada where Jesus appeared. I was there and hope to return one day.

Thought there was a lg assembly hall looking room?

Before the temple and other properties fell into the Church's hands for purchase, i knew it would only happen after the Community of Christ's leadership felt its significance was minimal to the organization's own purposes and mission. Couple this with the financial problems the CofC was experiencing, and it was the perfect storm.

What is the lifespan for “Rubblestone” construction?

Oh no John Hajicek will start crying rivers of tears that the bell will be eventually taken out.

Jesus is in his temple, not just the Kirtland temple. Even though I have not physically seen him there, I have definitely felt him there and heard him there. It was in the Kirtland temple, however, that I received a witness that those things did happen and that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God.

Why didn't NEPHI bring the music and language?

Nice job Casey, great tour! Almost as good as our video down at the set in Goshen😉

WHY DIDNT NEPHI BRING THE WHEEL?

"And over here is where Joseph Smith spiked the sacramental wine with magic mushrooms..."

That basement looks scary weak to me, like it couldn't even hold up the temple. I'm sure once the 15 year agreement is met, the church will work on giving it a firm foundation just as it has the other pioneer temples.

Anyone watching this should go to the actual contemporary documents to learn about what is truly documented.

I wonder which room Jesus Christ, Moses, Elijah and his son can’t remember his name came to this room? Which one?

You know what other basement they never show you? The Alamo.

Matthew 24:24-26

33 Guys, 33!

This is my favourite because this rooms is all white symbol in heaven is all white too!

Turn the camera off for 10 minutes and catch your breath!

Jesus has been no where near that building.

Stucko or plaster on the outside!?

Jesus was 33 when he died and there are 33 steps!

I mean, my question is, why are we wearing ballcaps in a temple? This is place Jesus restored Priesthood keys and appeared..... Resurrected, which doesn't happen really at all anymore, and we're walking into this place like it's just some building. As you walk through the Sacred Grove, they ask you to whisper and show it the reverence and dignity it deserves but in the very building those keys were restored in.... Eh, it's just another building

Jesus loves you guys! And he did claim to be God and He is God. He claimed it multiple times in the Bible. He was crucified and died, and he rose from the dead. He death and resurrection has set us free of sin and whoever believes in him and repents of their sins will be awarded eternal life. Much love guys❤️❤️
