Happy Birthday President Dallin H. Oaks!

Now We’ll Sing with One Accord

1. Now we’ll sing with one accord,

For a prophet of the Lord,

Bringing forth his precious word,

Cheers the Saints as anciently.

When the world in darkness lay,

Lo! he sought the better way,

And he heard the Savior say,

“Go and prune my vineyard, son!”

2. And an angel surely then,

For a blessing unto men,

Brought the priesthood back again

In its ancient purity.

Even Joseph he inspired;

Yea, his heart he truly fired

With the light that he desired

For the work of righteousness.

3. And the Book of Mormon true,

With its cov’nant ever new,

For the Gentile and the Jew,

He translated sacredly.

God’s commandments to mankind,

For believing Saints designed,

And to bless the seeking mind,

Came to him from Jesus Christ.

4. Precious are the years to come,

While the righteous gather home

For the great millennium,

When they’ll rest in blessedness.

Prudent in this world of woes,

They will triumph o’er their foes,

While the realm of Zion grows

Purer for eternity.

Moses 7:62, 67

Doctrine and Covenants 135:3

3 Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. In the short space of twenty years, he has brought forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the gift and power of God, and has been the means of publishing it on two continents; has sent the fulness of the everlasting gospel, which it contained, to the four quarters of the earth; has brought forth the revelations and commandments which compose this book of Doctrine and Covenants, and many other wise documents and instructions for the benefit of the children of men; gathered many thousands of the Latter-day Saints, founded a great city, and left a fame and name that cannot be slain. He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so has his brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not separated!

THE CHURCH JUST REVEALED THE HOLY OF HOLIES AGAIN… WHAT HAPPENED ON MAY 8TH CHANGED EVERYTHING ⚠️🏛️✨

Something happened on May 8th, 2026 that most people completely missed.

Buried inside what looked like a simple temple renovation update, Dallin H. Oaks and Henry B. Eyring stood quietly at the threshold of one of the most sacred places on earth.

At first glance, it looked ordinary.

Construction helmets.
Temple renovations.
Church leaders touring the Salt Lake Temple.

But then there was the window.

The arches.
The circular dome.
The threshold.
The unmistakable architecture.

And suddenly, something became clear.

For the first time in over a century, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appears to have quietly released a new authorized image of the Holy of Holies inside the Salt Lake Temple. 😳

This was not a random photograph.

This room has not been publicly photographed in modern times.
Not during earlier renovations.
Not during decades of temple expansion.
Not after previous prophetic transitions.

And yet now… after the most extensive renovation in the history of the Salt Lake Temple… after years of seismic reinforcement… after the world changed dramatically… after President Oaks became prophet…

the Church chose to show THIS room again.

Why now?

Tonight we dive deep into one of the most mysterious and sacred subjects in modern Church history:
🏛️ The Holy of Holies
📜 The lost 1911 photographs
🔑 The “literal key to one door”
👁️ The room prophets use when seeking divine revelation
⚡ The astonishing connection to the 1978 priesthood revelation
🕊️ The Second Comforter
🌎 And why many Latter-day Saints feel the timing of this moment is deeply significant

We also address one of the most misunderstood subjects in the Church — the so-called “second anointing” — and explain what faithful doctrine actually teaches, versus the fear and confusion often spread online.

This episode is not about sensationalism.
It is about reverence.
It is about history.
It is about prophecy.
And it is about understanding what temples are truly for.

Because once you understand what this room represents…

the May 8th photograph stops looking like a construction update…

and starts feeling like a message. ⚠️

In this episode we examine:
✨ Elder James E. Talmage’s original 1912 description of the Holy of Holies
✨ Why photographs of the room disappeared for over 100 years
✨ The blackmail scandal that accidentally led to the first authorized temple interior photographs
✨ President Joseph F. Smith’s legendary response to extortion
✨ President Spencer W. Kimball praying alone in the temple before the 1978 revelation
✨ President Boyd K. Packer’s statement that the prophet may enter this room “to seek an interview with Him whose Church it is”
✨ The sacred symbolism of the veil, covenant, and divine presence
✨ Why the restored Salt Lake Temple may matter more than many realize in the years ahead

The temple is not symbolic fiction.
It is the beating heart of the Restoration.

And the doctrine behind the Holy of Holies is not reserved for a religious elite.

It points toward the ultimate promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ:
That through covenant faithfulness, purity, and the power of the Savior, ALL the pure in heart may enter into the presence of God. ✨

As President Russell M. Nelson promised:
“Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple.”

That promise matters now more than ever.

⚠️ WATCH UNTIL THE END — because the final connection between President Oaks, the reopening of the Salt Lake Temple, and the future role of temples in preparing the Saints may completely change the way you see this moment in Church history.

Book of Numbers chapter 16

What happened after the rebellion in Numbers is powerful.

God didn’t just stop the rebellion—He confirmed His chosen priest through Aaron’s rod, which budded and brought forth life.

That pattern still stands.

God confirms truth.

And I have felt that confirmation personally—not through dramatic signs, but through the quiet, steady witness of the Holy Ghost.

A feeling of clarity.
A sense of peace.
A conviction that goes deeper than logic.

God Bless Our Prophet Dear

1. God bless our prophet dear;

May health and comfort cheer

His noble heart.

His words with fire impress

On souls that thou wilt bless

To choose in righteousness

The better part.

2. So shall thy kingdom spread,

As by thy prophets said,

From sea to sea.

Truth burns in ev’ry soul;

As one united whole,

We hasten to the goal

We long to see.

3. Oh, may thy Saints be one,

Like Father and the Son,

Nor disagree.

United heart and hand,

So may we ever stand,

A firm and valiant band

Eternally.

22 Of the Melchizedek Priesthood, three Presiding High Priests, chosen by the body, appointed and ordained to that office, and upheld by the confidence, faith, and prayer of the church, form a quorum of the Presidency of the Church.

3 Nephi 19:23

23 And now Father, I pray unto thee for them, and also for all those who shall believe on their words, that they may believe in me, that I may be in them as thou, Father, art in me, that we may be one.

We Ever Pray for Thee

1. We ever pray for thee, our prophet dear,

That God will give to thee comfort and cheer;

As the advancing years furrow thy brow,

Still may the light within shine bright as now,

Still may the light within shine bright as now.

2. We ever pray for thee with all our hearts,

That strength be given thee to do thy part,

To guide and counsel us from day to day,

To shed a holy light around our way,

To shed a holy light around our way.

3. We ever pray for thee with fervent love;

And as the children’s prayer is heard above,

Thou shalt be ever blest, and God will give

All that is meet and best while thou shalt live,

All that is meet and best while thou shalt live.
