Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple

[@chischilisnez7811]

I love how the church constructs its temples based on the architecture of the local environs. This is beautiful!

[@thescottishmexican]

Thank you for this video! I'm attending the open house with my family in two weeks!

[@JPumpkinKing]

Great video. BEAUTIFUL Temple. The video would have been MUCH better if the music didn't have lyrics, and was just instrumental.

[@MsJet1]

Beautiful. I watched the BYU talk relating the story of how the property was attained and how God is in charge when we put our lives in His service and bear our witness and testimonies.

[@susanmerritt8457]

Do you have the link to the talk? I would like to hear it. :)

[@camille264]

I took part in the cultural celebration for the Philadelphia temple yesterday! it was amazing! I loved every second of it!

[@camcam1421]

Beautiful temple. i enjoyed going to the open house and being able to build my relationship with god. it was an extremely overwhelming experience to be in the house of the lord. :)

[@jannawestbrook9432]

Wow what a tribute our our Savior Jesus Christ. If any have ever thought we do not love and live our lives to be with Jesus Christ our Savior and Our Father in Heaven. Watch this Video and better yet go to the open house of the Philadelphia Temple and see for your self.

I was a missionary during the announcement and the construction. Beautiful place.

[@catmaxwell88]

Are you going to do a video focusing on the symbolisms of this temple? Loved the one you did for the Japan temple and would love one on this temple too!

[@messagesofChrist]

Yes, check back in about a week.

[@jenniejennie3884]

Beautiful Temple.

[@smarkl54bbin]

I love the tasteful distinctly American influence this temple has it truly sets it apart as the house of the Lord & unlike other newer buildings in Philadelphia builds upon the city's historic past. The temple is an asset to the city & for church members in the area.

[@mhowell30]

Another symbol of freedom in Philadelphia.

Holy places🕊🌹🙋‍♀️

Beautiful video. I like all of these videos but why did you use the demonym of Pennsylvania in this title but didn't do it with the videos of temples in other states and countries? Example, the Sapporo Japan Temple video. It doesn't say the Sapporo Japanese Temple or the Phoenix Arizona Temple, it doesn't say the Phoenix Arizonan Temple. Why the difference?

[@messagesofChrist]

To be honest, I was trying to get this video out before going on a two week Tabernacle of Moses camp out (videos to come), and was doing the final details at about 11pm at night. Good catch, I have changed the title to match the other videos. More than anything, it was just the lack of sleep and pressure to get it done before I left.

[@feasamx2]

I'd prefer to comment on the beauty of the videos and thank for all your efforts to bring these for our viewing. Commendable work and know it is appreciated.

[@messagesofChrist]

Thank you! Glad you like the videos! I do appreciate feedback as well, both good and bad, but always nice to know that people like the videos.

im going to the cultural celebration today

[@cadeellsworth140]

Question: Where do you get the Camera footage?

[@messagesofChrist]

Footage comes from Mormonnewsroom.org as well. The church is now releasing footage as well as pictures, which is great for my videos!

[@cadeellsworth140]

+Messages of Christ Wow! Which Temple did they start doing that on? Because I'm wondering if they did it for Gilbert and Phoenix.

[@messagesofChrist]

+Cade Ellsworth they started with Provo City Center. Sometimes they would release a minute or so of interior footage, but not much. Not like this.

[@cadeellsworth140]

+Messages of Christ Darn. Oh well, it's really nice to have this footage though. I really like that they added that painting of the signing of the Constitution in there.

ॐ vedic chanting

[@stevedealy8571]

I find it curious that Joseph Smith placed prominent star, moon, and sun decorations on his Nauvoo Temple. Especially giving priority to the inverted pentagram (he was a Freemason and those are also symbols they use) but today the LDS Church is not placing those symbols on new temples (except when they rebuilt the Nauvoo, Illinois Temple). Perhaps they realize many in these modern times know the occult nature of the inverted pentagram (see front cover of the Satanic Bible) which is believed by occultists to "attract sinister forces" The Black Arts 1967, p. 265)

[@messagesofChrist]

The inverted pentagram was used by Christians long before it became a Freemason or satanic symbol. In fact, there are many Christian churches that have the inverted star in their own architecture. It is the equivalent of saying that anyone using the swastika is a Nazi and hates Jews. The swastika was first used by several Asian religions starting around 5000 years.

[@googlebeaglie]

The truth is, however, that the Mormon use was due to the Masonic associations.

[@messagesofChrist]

Yes, this is true as well. I should have stated that. My main point is it was a Christian symbol long before it was a satanic symbol.
