name the School of the Prophets that was housed in an upper room at the Newell
K. Whitney store in Kirtland, Ohio the School of the Prophets?
a.
He wanted those in attendance to understand their potential
b.
It has Book of Mormon origins. Lehi registered Nephi and Jacob
in the School of the Prophets when they arrived in the new world
c.
It has Biblical origins. A number of the Old Testament prophets
ran a School of the Prophets
d.
It was the favored name when put to a vote in the Kirtland
Temple
Yesterday’s
answer:
b. It’s
already too small
The
growth of the population in Provo was so fast at that time, Brigham Young told
the Saints at the dedication of the original tabernacle that they had already
outgrown the building.
It
wasn’t until the late 1800’s that a second Provo Tabernacle (the one that
burned down in December 2010 was built, and the two buildings were used side by
side for 30 years. Prior to being torn down in 1919, the first tabernacle or
“old meetinghouse” was used as a gymnasium and then abandoned.
