25DC40 The Kirtland Pentecost and the Appointed Times in D&C 109–110

Pentecostal fire in Kirtland? This lesson dives past surface history into the timing patterns of Shavuot and Firstfruits, the dedicatory prayer in D&C 109, and the visions in D&C 110. We trace how Acts 2 themes, Leviticus 23 appointments, and Malachi’s promises converge as Jesus, Moses, Elias, and Elijah confer keys that drive the gathering of Israel and the work for the dead. With scriptural links, timeline markers, and on-ramps to the future prophecies, this is the Kirtland Temple like you’ve never seen it.

PULL QUOTES FOR DESCRIPTION
Pentecost in Kirtland wasn’t metaphorical; it was a repeatable pattern tied to God’s appointments in time. See D&C 109 and D&C 110 alongside Acts 2 and Leviticus 23.
Malachi pairs Moses and Elijah for a reason. One restores law and gathering; the other turns hearts and seals across generations.
