Rome Temple Dedication: Hinge-Point
President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently was in Rome, Italy for the dedication of the Rome, Italy temple. President Nelson was accompanied by the other 12 Apostles and said to the media and in the temple’s dedicatory prayer that the dedication of this temple represents a “hinge-point” or pivot in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ just as the missions of Peter and Paul to Rome represented a pivot of the ancient Church from the Jews to the Gentiles. President Nelson did not specify the nature of this pivot but said the Church is preparing for and can expect an acceleration in growth.
"This is a hinge point in the history of the church. Things are going to move forward at an accelerated pace, of which this is a part," he said, later adding, "The church is going to have an unprecedented future, unparalleled; we're just building up to what's ahead now." -- President Nelson
D&C 99:9 “That through your administration they may receive the word, and through their administration the word may go forth unto the ends of the earth, unto the Gentiles first, and then, behold, and lo, they shall turn unto the Jews.”
1 Nephi 13:42 “And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
