• W268865892 abstract "If Joseph Smith had lived we should not have been here at this time. We should have been in some other country. We can't stay in this house but a little while. We have got build another house. It will be a larger house than this, and a more glorious one. And we shall build a great many houses, we shall come back here and we shall go Kirtland, and build houses all over the continent of North America.1 On 4 April 1999 Gordon B. Hinckley, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, electrified millions of his faithful followers worldwide when he announced, quite unexpectedly, the decision rebuild the Nauvoo Temple.2 His announcement amounted a statement on resurrection, raise from the dead, as it were, the short-lived Mormon jewel that once so proudly overlooked the Mississippi River. Five years in the building, the Nauvoo Temple was the very symbol of their developing faith, a monument the teachings of their revered prophet-leader, Joseph Smith, Jr. Unfortunately, the storied building was abandoned as the Mormons were forced leave their City of Joseph at the point of gun and cannon and headed west in 1846. Soon afterward, the structure fell victim fire and tornado. Today, with the new temple recently completed and dedicated, it may be timely and appropriate review the temple's short-lived history.3 The purpose of this article is examine the fascinating history of the Nauvoo Temple from late 1845, as it neared completion, until its eventual destruction three years later, and focus on those efforts sell it interested buyers. This study will attempt answer the following specific questions: 1) Why did Mormons leaders consider selling the temple? 2) Who were the most interested buyers? 3) What was the nature of the negotiations? 4) What factors prevented the sale from occurring? 5) Did the Latterday Saints ever consider coming back? And finally, 6) Is there any truth the accusation that Brigham Young ordered its eventual destruction? The fact is, had the Latter-day Saints been successful in their intentions sell the temple the Roman Catholic Church or other serious buyers, the Latterday Saints would not be now enjoying their new temple edifice in the quiet river town of Nauvoo, Illinois. Holiness the Lord-The Nauvoo Temple Nothing spoke the expected permanency of Nauvoo as headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as did the construction of the Nauvoo Temple. Joseph Smith, revered as prophet, seer and revelator by his people, had declared in January 1841 that it was the Lord's intent for those thousands then assembling in Nauvoo to build a house unto me, not for Sunday worship but for such uniquely Mormon practices as baptisms for the dead, eternal marriage, and other sacred temple ordinances.' Even the site for the temple met heaven's approval.5 Thus the Latter-day Saints, who had built a similar, though smaller, edifice in Kirtland, Ohio, some few years before, looked upon the building of the Nauvoo Temple as divine directive, a benediction upon their past performances, a statement that they were yet Zion's people. Although some construction had begun on the temple in the fall of 1840, the cornerstones were not laid until 6 April 1841.(6) Made possible from the sacrifices of men, women, and even children of time, talent and tithes in the form of china, glassware, clocks and watches, clothing, furniture, household goods, and donated as well as enlisted labor, this remarkable structure, 128 feet by 88 feet and with a tower and spire rising 158-1 / 2 feet into the air, gradually towered above the city. Built of native gray limestone, the temple showed several distinct features including large decorative moonstones at the base of each of its 30 pilasters (or buttresses) and unusual sun and star stones further up the sides of each column. The tower featured a belfry and observatory, topped with a cupola and a golden statue of an angel flying in a horizontal position! …" @default.
