ENTRY 50 ARE WE BLESSED OR CURSED?

Did God accept the Nauvoo temple as an acceptable fulfillment of his commandments by our Fathers?  In Doctrine and Covenants 124, there is a promise from God if they fulfilled the commandment on God's terms.  There is also a warning of the conditions to follow if they did not fulfill His commandments.  Which case occurred?  Which inheritance did we receive from our fathers?

"If the congregation will give me their attention, I will detain them but a short time. Our history is too well known to render it necessary for me to enter into particulars on the subject this morning. Suffice it to say, to this congregation, that we shall attempt to build a temple to the name of our God. This has been attempted several times, but we have never yet had the privilege of completing and enjoying one. Perhaps we may in this place, but if, in the providence of God, we should not, it is all the same."
(Brigham Young, J of D 1:277
Feb. 14, 1853.)
