The New Jerusalem Temple Lot (HD) – Independence Missouri
Mormon doctrine proclaims that the New Jerusalem, also referred to as Zion (see Moses 7: 62) is the place where the Saints, and the twelve tribes of Israel will gather (see Revelation 21: 1-5). Christ will reign from the New Jerusalem as well as the old Jerusalem during the Millennium (see Micah 4: 2). Joseph Smith received revelation in July of 1831 that the New Jerusalem and a temple would be built in Independence, Missouri and that the gathering of Israel would begin (Doctrine and Covenants 57:1-3). Since the term Zion also refers to the “pure in heart,” when Christ comes again there could be many places in the world that would be referred to as Zion, because the people have accepted the gospel and follow the commandments, but the New Jerusalem is to be a center place or capital city for the pure in heart. The building of the New Jerusalem and the rebuilding of Jerusalem must happen before the second coming of Christ. A proclamation from the Twelve Apostles in 1845 states: He will assemble the Natives, the remnants of Joseph in America; and make them a great, and strong, and powerful nation: and he will civilize and enlighten them, and will establish a holy city, and temple and seat of government among them, which shall be called Zion. And there shall be his tabernacle, his sanctuary, his throne, and seat of government for the whole continent of North and South America for ever. In short, it will be to the western hemisphere what Jerusalem will be to the eastern. The …
@SethAdamSmith: Good for you for promoting peace and brotherhood. I don’t see this as some kind of “ad” for any church. I see it as a celebration of the Temple Yet To Come. (Great soundtrack, too.) Thank you for putting this together.
The Bible contradicts the Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine & Cov. and the Book or Mormon. The last three all contradict eachother and also contradict themselves. However the Bible never contradicts itself. Now tell me which one is really the Word of God? My ancestors were RLDS and Temple Lot. Praise God they came to realize the Holy Bible is God’s only infallible inerrant book!
next time you go to the temple site let all of your worrys go and have faith in your heart
and pray for the holy spirit to guide your heart.the site is a holy and sacred place for everybody.
when you go to the site leave all of your troubles behind and know that temples and this temple site is a place of calm and holyness. when i go to temples i like to just sit down and be calm and leave that world behind.
it is my site of calmness and joy.
Hi… You can see that some people never went to independence, mo. The Church of Christ, now called community of Christ is something different then the LDS church…
I pass this temple of the COC church everyday and every day I see the spot where the LDS Church will build a temple! If it comes to that point then it is time to meet someone special again…
, and quoting scripture from the D&C is pointless as I believe JS is a fraud. Of course he is going to have scripture to make you think I’m wicked for trying to speak truth. He wants you to believe that people who don’t agree with the church are wicked…That is complete nonsense! Read the words of christ, not Joe Smith!
, I joined the LDS church originally for the same reason most people did. They were presented with new information that sounded good. Little do they know it was not all new information. Had they known about the Kabbalah they would see where the ideas of the spirit world, terrestrial, telestial, and celestrial kingdoms came from. And that explains the knowledge JS learned when he joined the freemasons. And why his dad and bro were masons, let alone Brigham Y. and the other witnesses.
“…treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.
D&C 38:30 – the truth is that there ARE answers but you chose not to be patient.
The Lord warned us all against men who would try to convince us away from his established church.
Now the pathway is a much easier one.
, Actually my faith has been even stronger since I left the church and have found true enlightenment. I’m sorry you feel you “need” a church to have faith in Yeshua. My body is my temple, the living temple of God. I don’t care whether you stay in the church or not. But don’t think that only the LDS church is the only pathway to God. Your Bishop is only going to steer you in the direction of the church, duh! They could not answer my questions. Only with dumbed down answers.
I’m never convinced that people leave the church due to one thing they heard or someone showed them this. The way of an LDS man of God as he leads and directs his family is not an easy road to take. It requires years of sacrifice, long restless weekends, and late night visits to give people blessings.
For some, the path is too straight and the way is too narrow. Quitters just quit sometimes because it is in their nature. They usually don’t need a reason but come up with plenty.
You and everyone else who has been enlightened by the intellectuals.
Did you lose your faith in Jesus Christ also?
Or do you still believe that a man reanimated himself, played peekaboo with his disciples for 40 days and then left saying that he would return! If someone were to tell me I had a “Brain Cloud” I’d probably want a second opinion, two, or three. I’d talk to my bishop or get some help! The Lord warned us that men would try this. Seems u didn’t heed warnings.
, Actually I used to go to the LDS church, I know they don’t teach what is really going on. And if you only read church doctrine and do not question the church or it’s authority, you are left in the dark. That is why I quit going as well as the many others leaving the church once they begin doing research on the history of the church and all of its masonic witnesses to the BoM. The foundation is not solid. That is why JS’s brother started the reformed LDS and Brigham took throne.
The New Jerusalem will be in London. The 2012 Olympics is held there. Look at the 2012 Olympic Logo. It says ZION. 2012 is Zion when rearranged. Also note that every surrounding street of the Olympic location is some type of biblical name. Also check out a poem from William Blake written in 1800′s predicting Zion to be in London. Coincidence? Do more research. LDS is just as cabbalistic as freemasonry. Seek truth and ye shall find that which has been hidden!
, well just remember that even the elect will be decieved. And be careful when the LDS prophet “requires” it’s people to act. You may be acting to something misleading…
Temperance and patience in all things is required of the Lord’s elect. Some say that he delays his coming… I say the Lord is in charge and he does all things according to his time and election… we just act when we’re required to.

Mormons are crazy
No. It is called “The Community of Christ.”
So, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is now the Church of Christ?

god loves you.
Plus they are still our cousins in Faith.. Many members of the church have no knowledge that there are other Mormon sects…
No the CofC was once the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Temple lot is owned by the Church of Christ-Temple Lot
Nice to see religious tolerance re Seth’s comments and posts. So unlike what I usually see, especially from the “you bad we good” crowd.

We know what not to be deceived from.

There will be safety in Zion…
when the world gets THIS bad, we need to get out of dodge and head for it!
