“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

September 29 – October 5, 2025

WEEK 40 SUMMARY

=================

Doctrine and Covenants sections 109 and 110 are pivotal in Latter-day Saint history, focusing on the dedication of the Kirtland Temple and the divine manifestations that followed. Section 109 is the dedicatory prayer offered by Joseph Smith, expressing gratitude for blessings received and seeking the Lord's presence in the temple. It requests protection, the outpouring of the Spirit, forgiveness, unity among the Saints, and success in missionary efforts. Section 110 describes the divine visitations that occurred shortly after the dedication, where Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, accepting the temple and expressing His approval. Additionally, Moses, Elias, and Elijah appeared, each conferring essential priesthood keys: Moses restored the keys of the gathering of Israel, Elias conferred the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham, and Elijah restored the sealing power, crucial for temple work and eternal families. These sections underscore the significance of temples and the restoration of priesthood authority in the work of salvation.
