There were other types, which were not types of glory. “All of the glorified universes I perceived were one of three glories - celestial, terrestrial, or telestial. Spencer, the narrator of Visions of Glory has a near death experience and says he saw other kingdoms of no glory. (D&C 88:24)Īfter I read that and thought about it, I came to a spot in my reading of Visions of Glory, where the narrator describes just such a thing - other kingdoms, not just the three: celestial, terrestrial, and telestial. Therefore he must abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory. I read that some people are not “meet” for a kingdom of glory - and they must “abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory.”Īnd he who cannot abide the law of a telestial kingdom cannot abide a telestial glory therefore he is not meet for a kingdom of glory.

I recently thought about the possibility of many kingdoms, in addition to the typical three kingdoms of glory of which we Mormons are so familiar.
