50 MILLION MEMBERS? ELDER PEARSON SAYS THE CHURCH MUST PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE

A recent message from Elder Kevin W. Pearson has sparked an important conversation about the future growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Speaking about the possibility of the Church growing from roughly 18 million members to 50 million, Elder Pearson emphasized that growth on such a scale would require continued revelation—“many great and important things”—through prophets, seers, and revelators.

But the message goes far beyond numbers.

He connected the need for preparation with the Church’s divine mission and our responsibility to prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

His remarks also bring to mind other messages Church leaders have shared about future growth. President Henry B. Eyring has taught that the growth of the Church will accelerate, while other leaders have repeatedly emphasized the worldwide gathering of Israel and the need to prepare spiritually for what lies ahead.

There have also been reports from Church members in Chile suggesting that leaders were told to prepare for significant growth and the adjustments that could accompany it. Such secondhand reports should be distinguished from official statements, but they add to the wider discussion taking place among Latter-day Saints.

Still, perhaps the most important question isn’t:

“When will the Church reach 50 million members?”

The more important question is:

Are we prepared to follow the revelation the Lord is giving His Church TODAY?

Because our willingness to receive and act on present revelation may help prepare us for whatever the Lord reveals next.

With General Conference approaching, this is something worth pondering and praying about.

Could we one day see 50 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

If extraordinary growth is ahead, what changes and opportunities might come with it?

And most importantly, how are we personally preparing for the return of Jesus Christ?

3 THINGS TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT YOUR TEMPLE ENDOWMENT

The temple endowment is more than a ceremony—it is a sacred opportunity to draw closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, make covenants with God, and receive spiritual strength for our journey through life.

Sometimes we may not understand everything during our first temple experience. That’s okay. Temple learning can deepen as we return, study the scriptures, pray, and seek revelation from the Holy Ghost.

Here are 3 important things to remember:

1. Covenants Are More Than Promises
A covenant is a sacred relationship with God. In the temple, we make commitments to Him and receive promised blessings as we faithfully follow Jesus Christ.

2. Understanding Takes Time
You don’t need to understand everything during your first visit. The temple is filled with symbolism and gospel teachings. As we return with faith and a desire to learn, our understanding can grow.

3. Your Temple Experience Is Personal
The ordinances are the same, but the Spirit can teach each person according to their needs and circumstances. Something you have experienced many times may suddenly carry new meaning during another visit.

The temple continually points us toward Jesus Christ. Its purpose is to strengthen our faith, deepen our covenant relationship with God, and prepare us to become more like the Savior.

As Doctrine and Covenants 109:22 teaches, those who leave the Lord’s house can go forth “armed with thy power.”

Keep returning. Keep learning. Keep praying. Keep your covenants.

THE CHURCH JUST REVEALED THE HOLY OF HOLIES AGAIN… WHAT HAPPENED ON MAY 8TH CHANGED EVERYTHING ⚠️🏛️✨

Something happened on May 8th, 2026 that most people completely missed.

Buried inside what looked like a simple temple renovation update, Dallin H. Oaks and Henry B. Eyring stood quietly at the threshold of one of the most sacred places on earth.

At first glance, it looked ordinary.

Construction helmets.
Temple renovations.
Church leaders touring the Salt Lake Temple.

But then there was the window.

The arches.
The circular dome.
The threshold.
The unmistakable architecture.

And suddenly, something became clear.

For the first time in over a century, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appears to have quietly released a new authorized image of the Holy of Holies inside the Salt Lake Temple. 😳

This was not a random photograph.

This room has not been publicly photographed in modern times.
Not during earlier renovations.
Not during decades of temple expansion.
Not after previous prophetic transitions.

And yet now… after the most extensive renovation in the history of the Salt Lake Temple… after years of seismic reinforcement… after the world changed dramatically… after President Oaks became prophet…

the Church chose to show THIS room again.

Why now?

Tonight we dive deep into one of the most mysterious and sacred subjects in modern Church history:
🏛️ The Holy of Holies
📜 The lost 1911 photographs
🔑 The “literal key to one door”
👁️ The room prophets use when seeking divine revelation
⚡ The astonishing connection to the 1978 priesthood revelation
🕊️ The Second Comforter
🌎 And why many Latter-day Saints feel the timing of this moment is deeply significant

We also address one of the most misunderstood subjects in the Church — the so-called “second anointing” — and explain what faithful doctrine actually teaches, versus the fear and confusion often spread online.

This episode is not about sensationalism.
It is about reverence.
It is about history.
It is about prophecy.
And it is about understanding what temples are truly for.

Because once you understand what this room represents…

the May 8th photograph stops looking like a construction update…

and starts feeling like a message. ⚠️

In this episode we examine:
✨ Elder James E. Talmage’s original 1912 description of the Holy of Holies
✨ Why photographs of the room disappeared for over 100 years
✨ The blackmail scandal that accidentally led to the first authorized temple interior photographs
✨ President Joseph F. Smith’s legendary response to extortion
✨ President Spencer W. Kimball praying alone in the temple before the 1978 revelation
✨ President Boyd K. Packer’s statement that the prophet may enter this room “to seek an interview with Him whose Church it is”
✨ The sacred symbolism of the veil, covenant, and divine presence
✨ Why the restored Salt Lake Temple may matter more than many realize in the years ahead

The temple is not symbolic fiction.
It is the beating heart of the Restoration.

And the doctrine behind the Holy of Holies is not reserved for a religious elite.

It points toward the ultimate promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ:
That through covenant faithfulness, purity, and the power of the Savior, ALL the pure in heart may enter into the presence of God. ✨

As President Russell M. Nelson promised:
“Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple.”

That promise matters now more than ever.

⚠️ WATCH UNTIL THE END — because the final connection between President Oaks, the reopening of the Salt Lake Temple, and the future role of temples in preparing the Saints may completely change the way you see this moment in Church history.

Book of Numbers chapter 16

What happened after the rebellion in Numbers is powerful.

God didn’t just stop the rebellion—He confirmed His chosen priest through Aaron’s rod, which budded and brought forth life.

That pattern still stands.

God confirms truth.

And I have felt that confirmation personally—not through dramatic signs, but through the quiet, steady witness of the Holy Ghost.

A feeling of clarity.
A sense of peace.
A conviction that goes deeper than logic.
