Lorenzo Snow's vision and divine manifestation in the Kirtland Temple

Lorenzo Snow held a deep, lifelong reverence for the Kirtland Temple, acknowledging that the Savior had honored it with His royal presence. In his journal, Snow recalled his early days as a new convert, noting that the Kirtland Temple was a place where gifts of the Spirit—including prophecy, tongues, visions, and healing—were manifest, and where a palpable, divine influence permeated the building. Years later, reflecting on his time there, Snow described a profound experience he had while standing at a pulpit within that sacred space. Overcome with emotion, he remarked that no language could adequately capture his feelings as he stood in the very pulpit where, only a short time before, he knew the Savior had stood. Snow described this holy Personage as having hair as white as pure snow and eyes like a flame of fire. He further recounted that it was in that same sacred setting where Moses, Elias, and Elijah appeared to commit the keys of their respective dispensations to Joseph Smith, an event recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 110.
