Special Tour INSIDE the Kirtland Temple! 

This is wonderful, at my age I'll never get to see the Temple in person. "How Beautiful Upon the Mountains" thank you for doing this 😊

Just wonderful Casey. So many cannot visit so this is a joy!

Thank you so much! This brings many special memories to my heart from when my husband and I served at the Kirtland Historic Sites as a Senior Couple from 2021-22. We were able to hold special meetings, a testimony meeting, & service project in the Kirtland Temple.♥️🎶👏🇺🇸

Fantastic video! I loved the tour, and seeing some of the spots you don't hear as much about was very cool. When I go in person I'll make sure I'm prepared for the stairs! That building is so unique and significant in our history, it is remarkable that it has endured over time and is in the condition it is. Many, many thanks to our friends at the Community of Christ for taking such phenomenal care of the temple for so long and preserving it prior to the change of ownership.

The baby joins in! “Hosanna!” 👶

According to an entry on the Religious Studies Center website at BYU, the book, “Kirtland, Ohio: A Guide to Family History and Historical Sources,” by Kip Sperry cites a variety of sources to build a consensus as to the specific meanings of the initials or acronyms on the pulpits, as follows: WEST TIER, MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD PULPITS (top row to bottom row): - M.P.C. Melchizedek Presiding Council (First Presidency of the Church or Stake) - P.M.H. Presiding Melchizedek High Priesthood (Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, or Stake High Council) - M.H.P. Melchizedek High Priesthood (High Priests Quorum) - P.E.M. Presiding (Presidency) Elders Melchizedek (representing Elders Quorum) EAST TIER, AARONIC PRIESTHOOD PULPITS (top row to bottom row): - B.P.A. Bishop Presiding over Aaronic Priesthood - P.A.P. Presiding (Presidency) Aaronic Priests - P.T.A. Presiding (Presidency) Teachers, Aaronic - P.D.A. Presiding (Presidency) Deacons, Aaronic

Many many thanks for this tour and explanation of the first temple of our dispensation. So much spiritually rich history. God bless and please keep on sharing our fascinating church history. 🙏🏻❤️😊

Wow, this was an awesome tour, thank you ❤

Thank you!

Loved this! Thank you for the tour!

How wonderful! I was especially wondering if it was known exactly where the Savior appeared and you answered my question. What a wonderful video!!!

" there's a lot of stairs...." hahaha iloveyou Casey, thank you for showing us the beauty and magnificence of the Kirtland Temple.

I echo the MANY thanks, also, for ur efforts - BLESS YOUR HEART ❤️ so very , very much for this so beautifully illustrated & accomplished. To feel along side the exhilarations of Our Marvelous Prophet Joseph Smith is truly an honor!

Thank you so much for allowing us to have the opportunity to visit the Kirtland Temple, while being thousands of miles away (France). I am not sure to be able to ever visit it in person.

Before the temple and other properties fell into the Church's hands for purchase, i knew it would only happen after the Community of Christ's leadership felt its significance was minimal to the organization's own purposes and mission. Couple this with the financial problems the CofC was experiencing, and it was the perfect storm.

So glad they got their property back after you ran them off their land killed as many as you could and took their property.. sounds so familiar don't it.. but yes the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints now officially owns the property once again and this is the first Temple of the latter days

Jesus did not stand there, no evidence supporting that claim.

I mean, my question is, why are we wearing ballcaps in a temple? This is place Jesus restored Priesthood keys and appeared..... Resurrected, which doesn't happen really at all anymore, and we're walking into this place like it's just some building. As you walk through the Sacred Grove, they ask you to whisper and show it the reverence and dignity it deserves but in the very building those keys were restored in.... Eh, it's just another building

Jesus has been no where near that building.

Prove it! You have no evidence except for what one person said so.

That's just like a typical house lol nothing special about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So blasphemy is what this is.

Jesus never stepped foot on American soil, try again

I lived in Ohio in the early 2000's and was able to have a Sacrament Meeting in the Kirtland Temple as part of a YSA conference. Truly one of the coolest opportunities and experiences I've been a part of.

WOW!!! I got goosebumps just watching. I will probably never be able to see the temple in this life, so thank you for showing us through. It is a sacred place.

Thank you for showing us all the different places in the temple; particularly where keys were restored and the Savior appeared.

I always love these because I hate traveling 😂

I was baptized this past Saturday and me and my family all went to Kirtland to see the temple and the village and store. Plus we made our way to the Johnson Farm in Hiram Ohio. It was incredible and I really enjoyed it.

Oh how grateful I am to see this temple… to see the history of ourLDS temple… but to also see something that a many great grandfather helped to build. Thank you!

Thank You for the insights to the Kirtland temple. Amazing !!! I love the way you teach...

This is amazing!!! Thanks you so much for doing this! 💛🙏🏼💛

This was awesome! Thanks for the tour. I didn't know that we still have the original glass window. Does anyone know exactly how much of the temple is original? It sounds like most of it is.

Thank you I love this tour and am so grateful we can care for this sacred building.

Thanks for the tour and backstories!

This is so amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!!

11:08 Kirtland is so innovative they drive backwards.😂😂

Give bro Griffiths a break after climbing all those stairs haha 😂

Thank you, Casey. I really like the way you teach

Oh wow!! This was amazing!!! I’m in Ireland so a long way from this Temple!! Mind blowing to think we can identify where Jesus stood! Thanks so much to everyone who made this! Really enjoyed it ❤

This was such a delightful experience! Thank you so much, Casey. It is on my bucket list to see this beautiful temple in person. This tour was so great that it was almost like being there!

Casey, you are my favorite teacher. Thank you so much!

Thank you. l am grateful this temple is returned to the Lord and His Saints.

Although I already know about the kirtland temple in the scriptures.but still I am very curious of what inside of it.hoping that one of this day I can experience what is the feelings inside of the house of the LORD.thank you for this brother.

Awesome video! Learned so many things!

Thank you for making this wonderful video for us to enjoy! It was such a joy to go on this tour. I hope I can go in person someday!

This tour is such an inspiration. I could feel the passion and commitment of the saints thru the tour. I could feel the Spirit of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for our Prophet Joseph Smith and the Apostles with him for persevering and bringing the Gospel into our lives thru Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Thank you for this tour of the Kirkland Temple.

This was refreshing after all the cares of the world. I'm glad we have this church in these latter days. I also have a testimony that Jesus is the Christ and the founder of this His church. Thank you for the video.

me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. Jeremiah 14:14 16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. Jesus said: For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24:24 Acts 20:30 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. John said not to add or take away from Holy Scripture. Joseph smith knew nothing about the Eastern Orthodox Church and holy tradition (not a tradition of man) Nowhere in OT or NT it say about becoming a god of your own planet

I toured the temple many years ago as a missionary in Ohio. It will be so exciting to see how the restoration continues. We also owe such huge appreciation to the Community of Christ for maintaining the building so wonderfully. (Our group of missionaries had a fantastic spiritual experience with our guide as she described the area where the Savior appeared: she whispered to us that she was supposed to say that Joseph and Oliver had just had ‘spiritual experiences’ there, but she knew that the Savior had been there!)

Thank you so much for showing us the wonderful Kirtland Temple! Greatly appreciate it 😊❤

Thank you from australia

You also need to redefine the word testimony. you used it it the LDS sense not the actual sense of the word!

Wait...? Another temple under reconstruction? ahhhhhhhh. When will it stop?🤣

You're such experts on so many topics at Scripture Central! You do deserve thanks and admiration,.

I'm curious if anyone has done a tour with both the COC church and LDS church. What was similar? What was different? I've only seen Elder MacKay's online tour, and visited the site a week after reopening with the Missionaries. Any insight between the two tours is appreciated.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you for this tour of the Kirtland Temple. I cannot travel so this presentation made the tour even more interesting and memorable.

Thank you so much. It really means a lot to be able to see and hear the story of the Kirtland Temple.

What a wonderful tour of the temple. I enjoyed it very much. I especially like all the details and stories.

March 2014, I saw this plate in a house that I buy in the future. The plate was in a place I wanted everyone to see. The image was Temple picture was blurry. I found the plate at Kirkland 6 months after the dream.

Awesome! Thank you for the exceptional video and tour

Thank you brother Griffin for the wonderful tour

Jesus is in his temple, not just the Kirtland temple. Even though I have not physically seen him there, I have definitely felt him there and heard him there. It was in the Kirtland temple, however, that I received a witness that those things did happen and that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God.

Wonderful!!!

Thank you!

THANK YOU for this wonderful tour! ❤️

Thank you Casey, this was so fun to come along with you on this FABULOUS tour. Makes me so excited to come visit this summer-guess I better get in shape first for those stairs haha

Thank you so much for doing this. It is amazing indeed!

Thank you for the tour that was wonderful, I hope I can visit there but……

Oh no John Hajicek will start crying rivers of tears that the bell will be eventually taken out.

Way to rock those steps, Casey!! Great video, great overview, fascinating details about the temple, and as always, great job narrating the walk-through.

Thank you. I don't know if I will ever make it to Kirtland to see the temple for myself, but I am grateful for your tour and explanation of this sacred site. Thank you!

The fact that the church kept details of the supernatural, but you can't explain what the info is. sounds fishy! I think you know but don't want to explain. Milk before meat right!

LDS preaches Another Christ then the Jesus from the bible Don’t be deceived God will not be mocked

I loved getting to go and tour this temple.

I had the privilege to visit this sacred place in june, 16th 2024. Inside this temple happened one of the most important things to mankind. I know it.

Do any of the windows in the Kirtland Temple open up, either then or now?

Thank you! It was so helpful to hear the history while seeing the actual temple. What a sacred space!

Casey, Thank you and your staff for this great presentation of the Kirtland Temple. So many people will not be able to see it and it is so special.

I wonder which room Jesus Christ, Moses, Elijah and his son can’t remember his name came to this room? Which one?

Joseph Smith said a lot of things. We should follow what the Bible says, not what Joseph Smith claimed.

Amazing video thanks so much for sharing this.

Wow My friend was there many years ago a d said she could feel a power where Jesus had stood

I really thought the Brighamite church weren't going to ruin the temple. wishful thinking.

Sorry but he didn’t, because we are still awaiting the first coming.

You guys have great videos! Thank you for this

I know of a place in the forest in Canada where Jesus appeared. I was there and hope to return one day.

33 Guys, 33!

This is my favourite because this rooms is all white symbol in heaven is all white too!

Thought there was a lg assembly hall looking room?

No where in the Bible does it say Jesus stood and taught in the Americas. His ministry was in Israel. I highly encourage you to read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

So grateful you were able to create this video

Thanks to Scripture Central for making this experience available to all.

I wish I can visit Kirtland temple

Love. IT!

House of Satan

Thank you for sharing this story 😮

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I don’t know this brother‘s name, but remember seeing him before!!! So want to thank you very much for your wonderful presentation, your service, and your time, and climbing those 99 steps, is it?!? so happy that this Kirtland temple has come back into the church’s hands, though the other church did a wonderful job of preserving it, and respecting it, etc.!!! This is so very educational and emotional also!! Yes, it is wonderful about Jesus Christ being there!!! Thank you to any and all that helped make this video and help bring it to all of us on RU-vid… Love, Sister Gay Michaelis(and brother Duane Michaelis on the other side of the veil) and family ❤️🙏😇🤗👍🌎

Thank you
