President Nelson Rededicates the House of the Lord in Washington, D.C.

[@bonagh8631]

I’m not a member and missed the open house, but walking along the grounds, you definitely feel the presence of God, I can only imagine what it feels like to be inside.

[@joeshawcroft7121]

Meet with the missionaries to learn more. It is wonderful. The doctrine of eternal families is a beautiful thing.

[@ronaldrmo8870]

What you feel is the spirit of the Lord

[@HaleStorm49]

I think about Revelation 21 when John sees both the Father and the Son and specifically records that there was "no temple therein." I think about John's description of what he saw in those verses and realize that the Temple is the closest thing we have to that experience on 🌎. It's an amazing feeling. I hope that you will seek to experience it for yourself.

[@Tova-Barin]

We’re glad you felt God’s presence. Would you like to feel closer to Him?

[@lorigreen4134]

I love the temple, no matter which one I attend. We believe it’s God’s house and I feel His presence there. Come join us!

[@NangramNima-dq3je]

Wow God holy holy temple 🎉 it's so so standard style Glory to the lord 🎉🎉

[@MrChocoMilk1]

[@sierrabirke337]

It makes me happy seeing everyone feel peace in God’s holy Temple. All roads truly do lead to the Temple! 🙌🏽❤️

[@williamfindspeople4341]

I was there today. Just beautiful, gave me a renewal for the week. Went home and worked on family history work.

[@loganshorthair2428]

Absolutely gorgeous temple! Was able to visit the open house back in May and was completely starstruck by its beauty and the presence of the spirit! So happy that it’s back in service :)

[@Killthesefears]

So amazing and beautiful. I was there for the second session. It was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dariobenedetto123]

Amo la Iglesia y especialmente el Templo, gracias a un amigo conocí el Evangelio restaurado!!! Amo al Salvador Jesucristo!! Desde Buenos Aires Argentina!!

[@lukedav]

Such a beautiful temple and house of the Lord! So excited for all the members that get to go back and do work in the temple!

[@ciaarruhh]

Love, love, love this. Grateful for the reminder from President Nelson-instead of focusing on its outer beauty, have those thoughts lead us to the beauty of the ordinances we make inside!

[@billcarlson852]

President Nelson you are a amazing WORLD LEADER......LEADING THE WORLD TO JESUS CHRIST.

[@reaganjanaerichard5009]

I love this temple. It's so beautiful.

[@YvonneFimahtvchannel234]

God bless you prophet 🙏🙏

[@chanegg6545]

Amazing! We love you president Nelson and thank you for being the messenger of our savior to the world…

[@IntoAllTruth.]

I did my first temple work at the DC temple in 1977. And now it is rededicated. How wonderful.

[@raymorgan2780]

Such A Beautiful Holy Edifice!! And Very Grateful For Modern True Prophets, Seers and Revelators of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ-

[@102wingnut]

So cool. Wish I could have been there. It's so great to see all the new temples going up around the world.

[@georgekayser2479]

The Lord loves all His children, and temples are a manifestation of both His love for us, and our love for Him. The temple is where our Father and us can be closest.

[@churchnewsroom]

Thank you for your comment!

[@kristic4472]

I love the Temple. I love Pres. Nelson. I love our Apostles. And I Love my Savior Jesus Christ!

I was able to go to this and it is gorgeous!

[@MreeGdwn]

So beautiful. Such a beautiful temple inside and out ❤️ I loved see the little girl in the background peaking through the window behind the prophet towards the very end of the video. So darling

[@dharmawannab]

I love the Temple! I love Pres. Nelson! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@gloriamcdonald7934]

Lo mas hermoso que ven mis ojos por dentro y por fuera incoparable. Cuando entramos a trabajar en la obra de Npc es como si estuviera en el cielo dentro del templo se ciente su presencia es marabilloso

[@bisonuberti]

It's wonderful to listen to our Living Prophet speak.

[@AcheliusDecimus]

I so want to visit this temple. I will be there one day soon if it be God's will.

[@churchnewsroom]

We hope you will talk with your local leaders about how you can prepare to attend the temple and receive your endowment. Learn more here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples/what-is-temple-endowment?lang=en

[@AcheliusDecimus]

@@churchnewsroom I am already endowed, but I have only been to temple once during that time. COVID blocked my second visit planned. So I am hoping this will be my second visit due to my cousin living in the area, and made me aware she went to the open house.

[@billcarlson852]

IT IS GOD'S LOVING WILL FOR YOU! YOU WILL BE BLESSED FOREVER...AND COME TO SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES HOW MUCH HE TRULY LOVES YOU.

[@sbenard1]

Thank you! I needed this today!

[@biblereadinginmalayalam3887]

The ad of the video of this Temple came to my attention while I was watching the story of father Damien. It's awesome and blessing especially at this turbulent time. If you could help believers like me, please stretch a helping hand.

[@LiveHappy76]

What help do you seek?

[@shantel4960]

This is beautiful!

[@canadeeana]

What an obsoletely gorgeous edifice! I can't hardly wait to attend the Washington Spokane Temple again. It's so peaceful and joyful in the temple!!

[@PapaKryptoss]

Wonderful prophet.

[@kenny-gee]

Stunning and brave

[@scottsoward]

Such a beautiful temple and tribute to the Lord at our nations capital!

[@ildenete3235]

Que dia lindo! Que especial! Deus abençoe o profeta!

[@chvid2009]

Wonderful!!!😊❤️

[@johnraumjr6383]

I grew up seeing the temple as I passed it on the beltway. I went to the open house because I was super curious. I have to say I was surprised at how sort of plain it was inside. The exterior looks very fancy but inside it’s pretty muted. I suppose that’s sort of in line with how Mormons live their lives. As I expected however the members were very friendly and welcoming.

[@jesuschristlives2724]

I was there!!!! He said there is 51 Temples are currently under constructions and more will be revealed in October.

[@vonsowards1297]

Well fooy! I had hoped that maybe they would have broadcasted this one to the nation… oh well. Glad is it dedicated. 🤞 Fingers crossed for a national/international broadcast for the Salt Lake temple rededication 🤞

[@LiveHappy76]

Yesss!! I wholeheartedly second this comment! Please do broadcast worldwide for Salt Lake!

[@Jackrabbitsteaparty]

Oh how I love the temple!!!!!

[@ShrpBld78]

It's a beautiful and holy place.

[@zionmama150]

This is really beautiful especially thinking on the Book of Psalms this week. Temple texts that help us reflect on the Lord.

[@jjpproductions]

Washington DC temple is one of my favorite temples. So happy that it is now rededicated

[@4funJust4you]

It's finally reopened! Now I can see everything once again!

[@adriandanielollet166]

Thanks a lot!

[@rmsf1072]

Thank you for your report, because I probably won't be able to work there until the Millennium ☀️

[@marthaabrahamson6813]

We love you now St St George

[@magaelectrician657]

IR relationships getting more and more common these days in western countries. Always makes me think about what the Book of Mormon had to say on the subject

[@joeshawcroft7121]

Same thing as the Bible. There is nothing wrong with IR relationships. But the Lord has always encouraged his children to marry within their faith. Covenants and eternal families extend to all who are willing to follow the Savior.

[@khaterascott2286]

I wish I could go through this beautiful Temple soon with my sweetheart and do proxy sealing, proxy endowments and proxy baptism 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@churchnewsroom]

We hope you will talk with your local leaders about how you can prepare to attend the temple and receive your endowment. Learn more here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples/what-is-temple-endowment?lang=en

[@khaterascott2286]

I have been through the Las Vegas Temple for my living endowment on July 27th 2022. We have planned to get sealed in November 2022.

[@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth]

Thanks be to God for the steady Church Leadership in its mandate

[@boltrooktwo]

Grateful for temples and their beacon toward light and truth.

[@gjamison72]

Momentous!

[@atiyehatiyeh8322]

My older sister and I were at the original Washington DC Temple dedication.

[@chinsters7644]

That reminds me of the castle in Never Ending Story! So glad some of my tithing made this building so beautiful.

[@chischilisnez7811]

The Lord's work rolls on and increases. The church's members are surely blessed. And though they don't know it, so are non-members, because Satan ALWAYS rages when another temple is dedicated.

[@mariaimanaibina8875]

Amen😍💖💖💖

[@katherinem.4414]

That is why we need a good relationship with the Savior.

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

[@jan-ui2kz]

The most scared place is the temple where happiness is. Feel the spirits n presence of the lord.🙏🙏🙏

[@cybeledalmas-lewis2120]

[@kathyhorwitz8607]

I agree.

[@OrionsRoseNC]

I wish they had returned the famous John Scott Mural of the Second Coming to the DC temple. That was our mural and the Eastern/DC saints want it back!!!!

[@gideonmiles7161]

You gotta love the one little girl in the background at 4:00 peaking in through the window

[@gingerjimenez9987]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Donnie-Lee-Gringo]

Why do the old men wear white suits with the older women wear colorful clothing?

[@SarahGFryer]

Everyone wears white inside the temple. It looks like one or two of the ladies left their white dresses on, and the others changed.

[@LiveHappy76]

Good observation and question! If I'm not mistaken, the approximately 5,000 people who attended the 3 dedication sessions in person, as well as those who attended via broadcast to other area meetinghouses, would have worn their "Sunday best" dress-typically suits, white shirts and ties for men/boys and dresses, skirts with blouses or other dressy attire for women, all in various, colored, personally chosen styles. The priesthood leaders officiating the dedicatory sessions and offering the dedicatory prayer and any other speakers during the dedicatory sessions (Presidents Nelson, Oaks and Eyring led the sessions) would have worn the white suits symbolic of purity in God's presence. At 0:49, one woman, Sister Amy A. Wright of the Primary General Presidency, wears a white dress. I did not attend this temple's rededication but I have attended (I think) 3 temple dedications, the last time I think more than 15 years ago. I do recall some measure of a brief sermon and address being made, instructions and leading in a part called the "Hosanna shout," and then the dedicatory prayer. I don't specifically recall whether more than one person spoke at the dedications I attended, but presume either more than one spoke at this one and/or the others in white at least sat at the front, invited and asked in advance to accompany the one presiding. Now that the temple is rededicated and in use for temple worship and sacraments/ordinances, all who enter past the entrance areas, will change to and wear white clothing in the interior, again, symbolic of purity in God's presence. I hope this helps. Hopefully, someone who attended this dedication will better answer and clarify.

[@paras108]

why you are calling it temple again and again if it is a church ???

[@churchnewsroom]

Hi, Thanks for watching! Temples are different than churches. To learn more about temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and our beliefs, visit www.churchofjesuschrist.org/temples

[@scottcox503]

Did the church news team really have to highlight all the interracial couples

[@cindyscott2513]

I don't understand your comment.

[@churchnewsroom]

That is an accurate observation. It happened by coincidence. Thanks for the feedback.

[@donlarsenjr2332]

Can anyone visit the temple or do you have to believe in ancient myths and have imaginary friends?
