Number of Temples
I came across this quote:
"To accomplish this work there will have to be not only one temple but thousands of them, and thousands and tens of thousands of men and women will go into those temples and officiate for people who have lived as far back as the Lord shall reveal."
—Brigham Young
Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young (1997), 310.
What are your thoughts about this?

@Jill 2021 That's a wonderful quote showing the prophetic vision of Brigham Young. We have come so far! Instead of the dozen temples that existed when I joined the Church as a young woman, we now have hundreds. And, we still have far to go. Perhaps those thousands will not be available to us until the millenial reign of our Savior.

Isn't it?
Yes, I have watched in awe, even since before I joined the church in 1981, at the growth of the number of temples and adaptations suited to each country around the world. We are only beginning this great work!
Thank you for your comments.

Personally I see this only being fulfilled in the millennium. I suspect that, at that time, most, if not all, local chapels, will be converted into mini temples. Long trips to the nearest temple will then be a thing of the past for a large number of members.
