奧克蘭聖殿

在168座聳立的後期聖徒聖殿中，奧克蘭聖殿是八座沒有天使摩羅乃雕像的聖殿之一。由於建築規範，文化誤解或建築設計無法承受此重量，因此這些聖殿無法容納摩羅乃。

誰是摩羅乃？

Moroni is an iconic and inspirational figure in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is most known as a character from The Book of Mormon, who watched the demise of his people.

Moroni was the last author of The Book of Mormon, and he taught how people could turned to God to be saved. His writing is inspirational and is written for people today to learn and grow from.

摩羅乃和《摩爾門經》

The Angel Moroni is so iconic because it is symbolic of an event known in the Church as the Restoration, which means the truth is returning to the earth once more.

It is believed that years after his passing, Angel Moroni appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him on how to receive The Book of Mormon.

摩羅乃繼續為年輕的先知，約瑟·斯密扮演導師此角色，他將指導他如何處理刻在銅頁片上的《摩爾門經》。

As soon as the Book of Mormon was translated, Joseph returned the books to Angel Moroni and he ascended into heaven completing his lifelong work.

如今的摩羅乃

如今，摩羅乃帶有像徵性地站在聖殿上，讓世界各地的人都能看到他的銅頁片和號角，實現了啟示錄14：6所寫道的預言：“我又看見另有一位天使飛在天中，有永遠的福音要傳給在地上的人，就是各國、各族、各方、各民。”

聖殿和摩羅乃

The first angel to be on a temple was the Nauvoo Temple in January 1846 in a form of a weather vane. Years later the first statue of an angel was placed on top of the Salt Lake City Temple on April 6th, 1892.

Since then the angel has been recognized among the members of the Church as Angel Moroni. It has become a tradition for Moroni to be the beacon to all temples, inviting all to come closer to Christ.

儘管奧克蘭聖殿沒有安置一個天使摩羅乃，但它仍然傳達了與其他聖殿相同的希望和靈感。許多人將奧克蘭聖殿視為他們的引導點以及與耶穌基督的連接。
