Salt Lake Temple Square Begins Four-Year Renovation

[@Timotheus157]

Good luck and God's blessing to the whole renovation team. The 3D computer renderings are beautiful and very informative. Thank you.

[@rabbithole2015]

This temple has special meaning to me. My ancestors worked hard to help build it. I'm happy it is being preserved. I have a question, are temples neccessary for salvation or to reach the highest level of heaven?

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

Jason Yes. They really are. We’ve been commanded to be married and sealed in the New and Everlasting Covenant. We cannot obtain the highest kingdom without it, plus our deceased ancestors who didn’t have knowledge of this Gospel, who accept it on the other side, can still be saved. With our willingness to go to the temple and perform the ordinances for and in behalf of them, they too can be accepted into His kingdom.

If the Lord's prophet on the earth has authorized a renovation to prepare a temple for a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, you had better get your food storage in order!

[@PristinelyClean]

No kidding!😬

[@janodomantay7516]

I am amazed with the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. once the renovation is done I would love to visit and see its marvelous work of salvation. I love my saviour Jesus Christ he is our redeemer and I believe there's only one Christ whom we worshipped as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know Book of Mormon is a word of God, he is a companion of the Holy Bible both old and new testament to testify that Jesus is truly the Christ. I just want to share my testimony that I gained and still gaining every single day. I am grateful to Prophet Joseph Smith for his dedication to knowing how he will be saved and he did not hesitate to share this even many are against it.

Wow. This is my beloved church

[@Spencerman1]

Dan K They need to make it earth quake proof. And other building codes that are required for safety.

[@geomodelrailroader]

can't wait to visit Temple Square when this is complete.

[@colterkardas4105]

Oh man! Watching them tear down that portion of The Church rugged on my heart 💔💔💔 But definitely looking forward to the completed project :-)

[@stulog]

It will be interesting to see how it all looks when they are done.

[@Animal-qm2ni]

Wow absolutely amazing I hope to be ready to go through the temple when it’s finished

[@JennyG.COW5]

It's kinda crazy to see people demolish a Church building (😬), but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product! 😁❤️

[@dustinwatkins9284]

It wasn't a church building. It was a visitors center.

[@mrreymundo5383]

Very well put together presentation. Thought the graphic of the Temple seismic retrofitting was very interesting.

[@javandik5642]

Don't remove the trees

[@followerofChrist26]

This 7.2 Earthquake is terrifying

[@donb7113]

I’m both sad and excited.

[@contact3604]

The Japanese have done wonders, with there buildings, especially when it comes too earthquakes! maybe they could help! There is a program on NHK world that shows how, and what they've done it's amazing! 🤔🙏 But remember, we are told in the scriptures! That certain tribes, were given certain skills which did indeed, bless the children of Israel in ancient times.😊 Im looking forward, to the new look! But part of me is sad😢 I hope we never forget the sacrifices, that were made by those before us! that worked, and give so much, to build these wonderful buildings in the first place.🤔♥ The Lord is good, all the time.

Bro Kirby managed the Provo City Center temple build. A very challenging project. If anyone can succeed with this, it would be him.

[@matthewkentdavila]

I want to see and am going to visit next week.

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

demolition was hard to watch...

"So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD." Ezekiel 13:14 "[A]nd it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great." 1 Nephi 11:36.

Only thing, Unfortunately for me I never got to see the original. However, as with all great things and in this case it will be even better.

How much will this cost the tithe paying members?

[@jaredharris1940]

10 percent of income!

[@arthur_vieiravieira6736]

Fantástico

[@intjonmiller]

This is a cool project, but I have a tangentially related gripe: I took my family to Temple Square the other day to go to the still-open north visitor's center. But all of the lower level exhibits were inexplicably roped off. No construction. All of the lights, even the spotlights on the exhibits, were on. No private events. A couple of missionaries apologized saying the exhibits were closed. Good grief, why?? Those were the exhibits we came to see. No mention of that closure on the church website that we could find. And they were visibly complete and viewable. But we weren't allowed to view them except from behind the ropes at the base of the escalator. Seemed like very poor planning. I hope that was very temporary? The sisters didn't seem to know.

And when the Lord set his foot on the Mt the world did shake as a drunken woman, and the land became one again...Some important dates to keep your eye on in the near future...

[@simondean6359]

Well I guess that could be that we shouldn't expect the Second coming of Christ for about 4 years then? Personally the sooner the better. How can the world become more fallen?

[@Cryptosifu]

Well, with 135 billion in the bank, they can afford it. However, I don't see the church lasting though to completion.

[@jaredharris1940]

Prepare to be surprised!

[@GAMEZONE-vq2lr]

And the Earthquake Happened.

[@bryanpoulsen8969]

Guess there are no more hungry people to feed who could benefit from some of that reconstruction money or the other $100 billion.

[@dannyrocket77]

The Church continues to help, the spend a billion in 2021 on helping man kind. What are you doing to help? 100 billion is nothing compared to Jeff Bezos and Musk...Look how much money they are not spending on the homeless and humanitarian aid. Just luxury, teslas and rockets.
