History
On December 27, 1832, two years after the organization of the Church of Christ, the movement's founder Joseph Smith stated he received a revelation calling upon church members to restore the practice of temple worship. The revelation specifically commanded the Latter Day Saints in Kirtland, Ohio to "Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God."
Spiritual Significance
The revelation emphasized restoring temple worship and establishing a dedicated house embodying prayer, fasting, faith, learning, glory, order and devotion to God for the Kirtland Saints.
