If you could build a Temple anywhere, where would you and why?

would still take nearly 74,000 years

But if we could travel between dimensions , it might just be a short hop. JS declared that the spirit world is right here on this earth.

Remember how it was such a big deal when you built your temple in Rome? How all of your apostles attended the dedication? I still argue that that was a tacit affirmation that Rome is the heart of Christendom :)

BYU Jerusalem Center, IMHO

A Temple waiting in the wings, all it needs is a dedicatory prayer. 

Again, IMHO only

What about the prophecy that water will issue forth from beneath the Temple and heal the waters of the Dead Sea? ;)

I'd say build it right on top of me, so I could take a look around and see what y'all are up to in there ;)

That's a lot of water. Hopefully they face it the right direction so it doesn't drown the other side of the mount of olives before making its way around.

Not so that the prophet can have a nerf-gun war with the pope?

They could make a film of this endeavour...

Could get Samuel L Jackson on board!

Meh.  You're right, it is quite a haul, but if the prophecy is literal, I think the Lord can put springs and rivers where He wants 'em.  ;)

Your guy is older than my guy, and my guy lived under a brutal military junta, so I'm placing bets on my guy :P

We can give him a dart handicap them. 2 Darts per year of age difference sounds reasonable.

I was more concerned about the people/property getting an unwanted cleaning as well as the dead sea.

While I'm not unsympathetic to anyone who might be adversely affected as a result, by the time whatever happens happens (assuming these prophesies/scriptures are intended to be taken literally), I think that unwanted cleaning of private property might be pretty low on the priority list of worries.  I'm not "rooting" for any cataclysms or for the Lord to change the course of any existing waterways or for him to establish new ones, but if that's how He chooses to do things, who am I to argue?  Who are any of us to argue (see Isaiah 55:8-9)?

This water will be voluminous enough as to flush out (refresh) the Dead Sea.

PLease tell me there's a faith promoting rumor or Journal of Discourses theory about a similar cleansing taking place in the great Salt Lake

Already one there. :vader:

Not on the lot itself and not meeting the description by the prophet Joseph.
Just adjacent...in so many ways.

Depends on the fault line.  If the big one hits, we can dump all that salt into Nevada.  🎪
