Kirtland Temple Dedication

481.On January 21, 1836, Joseph Smith saw a vision where God revealed the administration of ordinances in preparation for the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. In this vision, Joseph saw his deceased older brother, Alvin, in the celestial kingdom. It was revealed to him that all who die without a knowledge of the gospel, who would have received it, will be heirs of the celestial kingdom of God.

482.It was also revealed through this vision that all children who die before the age of accountability—eight years old—are saved in the celestial kingdom. This vision and revelation can be found in Doctrine and Covenants 137.

483.The Kirtland Temple construction was completed in 1836.

484.The early Saints described the Kirtland Temple exterior walls as a blue color. The wall color has since faded. The doors were olive green. It was apparently a very colorful temple.

485.The third floor of the Kirtland Temple included Joseph Smith’s office, along with five school rooms. The school rooms comprised what was called the “Kirtland High School.” Students of the Kirtland High School ranged from six years old to thirty years old. The youngest students were taught subjects such as basic reading, writing, and math. The oldest students could learn foreign or ancient languages.
