Feeling His divine presence is a reminder of our heavenly home.(22:45) A closer look as to why Sidney Rigdon reads Psalm 96 and 24 at the dedication and how they relate to ancient ideas about temples.(29:21) The temple is a place of instruction and learning.(39:14) The temple is a house of protection.(41:32) The dedicatory prayer ends by Joseph taking his problems to the Lord. He prays for his enemies, the nations of the earth, the redemption of Jerusalem, and for leaders of the Church.(46:20) An outline of the eventful week after the dedication.(48:50) Four significant heavenly beings come to the temple and bring keys to gather Israel and seal families: The Savior, Moses, Elias, and Elijah.(56:43) The coming of Elijah during Passover week was a prophecy thousands of years in the making.
