「預言者モーセをご存じですか？
紀元前13世紀，
旧約聖書の出エジプト記に登場するモーセは，
エジプトで奴隷にされていたイスラエルの民を導き，
エジプトから脱出させました。
その生涯を描いたハリウッド映画も幾つか制作されています。
モーセはその後，10の戒めが記された石版を神より授けられました。
この神聖な石版を収めるべく，モーセは天幕で作った移動式の神殿を設けます。
これが神殿の起源です。
紀元前10世紀，
イスラエルの黄金期を治めたソロモン王は，首都エルサレムに神殿を築きます。
この神殿は，紀元前586年にバビロニアの侵入により破壊され，
イエス・キリストの時代には，紀元前516年に再建された
エルサレム第二神殿が建っていました。
新約聖書には，イエス・キリストが神殿で教えを説いたこと，
世俗化していた神殿を清めたことなどが記されています。
キリストの時代の直後，紀元70年に第二神殿はローマ軍により破壊されました。
19世紀に末日聖徒は，古代のイスラエルの民と同様に，
神殿を建設するよう神より命じられます。
1836年，この時代で最初の神殿がアメリカに建てられました。
以来，教会は神殿を建設し続けています。
2014年現在，世界中で144の神殿が稼働しています。」
Have you heard of the prophet Moses?
Moses is mentioned in the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament, and he is well-known for having led the enslaved Israelite people out of Egypt. There have been a number of Hollywood movies about his life.
Sometime after that on Mount Sinai, he received 10 commandments from God that were engraved on stone tablets. Moses made a portable temple made of tents to hold these holy tablets.
King Solomon who ruled during the golden era of Israel built a temple in the city of Jerusalem. This temple was destroyed by external invaders and was later rebuilt. When Jesus Christ lived on the earth, this rebuilt 2nd temple stood in Jerusalem.
In the New Testament, it is recorded that Jesus preached in the temple and purified the temple because it had become polluted. After the time of Christ, the temple was destroyed by a Roman army in 70 AD.
In the 19th Century, Latter-day Saints were commanded by God to build a temple just as He had commanded the ancient people of Israel. In 1836, the first temple in this era was constructed in the United States.
Ever since then the church has continued to build temples. As of the end of 2014, there were 144 operating temples around the world.
This is a model showing the internal design of the Salt Lake Temple in the state of Utah. The temple is the place where families can be linked together.
Beginning with the new family created by the wedding ceremony, a person is sealed to their family and their ancestors, and ordinances that commemorate their ancestors are performed.
Marriages performed in temples are not 'until death do you part'--they continue on eternally after this world.
In Japan, the Tokyo Temple was built in 1980, and the Fukuoka Temple was built in 2000. The Sapporo Temple is currently under construction.
