The Restored Keys


Listen Later

This episode, titled "The Restored Keys," focuses on the sacred visions and restoration of authority recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 110, which followed the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in 1836. The events described include:
  • The appearance of Jesus Christ, who declared that He had accepted the house and would manifest Himself to His people in mercy. He affirmed that this event was "the beginning of the blessing which shall be poured out upon the heads of my people".
  • The subsequent appearance of three heavenly messengers—Moses, Elias, and Elijah—who restored essential priesthood keys necessary to direct the Lord's work of salvation and exaltation.
  • Moses restored the keys for the gathering of Israel, which directs missionary work.
  • Elias committed the keys of the gospel of Abraham, which includes the Abrahamic covenant and its associated blessings.
  • Elijah restored the sealing power, which enables the binding of families for eternity and helps turn the hearts of children to their fathers (ancestors).
The restoration of these priesthood keys in the Kirtland Temple opened the way for accelerated temple work and ordinances available today to millions of the living and the dead.
