C. Richard James on the Fulfillment of D&C 110:9-10

  

Christ's Prophecy Is Being Fulfilled Today

 

As previously mentioned, during the Savior's appearance and acceptance of the temple on Sunday, April 3, 1836, the Lord told Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery:

 

Yea the hearts of thousands and tens of thousands shall greatly rejoice in the consequence of the blessings which shall be poured out, and the endowments with which my servants have been endowed in this house. And the fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands, and this is the beginning of the blessings which shall be poured out upon the heads of my people. (see D&C 110:9-10)

 

It is amazing to know the Savior's prophetic prophecy is being literally fulfilled today. Who could have imagined back in 1836, that by the year 2020 there would be over 16,500,000 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide rejoicing in the consequence of the blessing received from the endowment of power ordinances performed in the Kirtland Temple. In addition, there are also an estimated 250,000 members of the Community of Christ worldwide who also rejoice in the blessings that come to them from the Kirtland Temple. (C. Richard James, The Kirtland Temple: Its Amazing History and Continuing Blessings 1830-2020 [Provo, Utah: Richlin Books, 2022], 109-10)
