Moses 7:20 And it came to pass that Enoch talked with the Lord; and he said unto the Lord: Surely Zion shall dwell in safety forever. But the Lord said unto Enoch: Zion have I blessed, but the residue of the people have I cursed.
Moses 7:23 And after that Zion was taken up into heaven, Enoch beheld, and lo, all the nations of the earth were before him;
Moses 7:31 And thou hast taken Zion to thine own bosom, from all thy creations, from all eternity to all eternity; and naught but peace, justice, and truth is the habitation of thy throne; and mercy shall go before thy face and have no end; how is it thou canst weep?
Moses 7:47 And behold, Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, even in the flesh; and his soul rejoiced, saying: The Righteous is lifted up, and the Lamb is slain from the foundation of the world; and through faith I am in the bosom of the Father, and behold, Zion is with me.
Moses 7:69 And Enoch and all his people walked with God, and he dwelt in the midst of Zion; and it came to pass that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; and from thence went forth the saying, Zion is Fled.
Articles of Faith 1:10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

D&C 1:38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.
Glad to see it simply says servants as I view the fab 15 as I would any other brother, that holds the Aaronic priesthood. Lunch is waiting so will continue me post upon my return.

Zion may be something that happens on a new earth far far away, but does that mean that it isn’t something to continue strive for as part of being perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect?

The video above is one piece of the puzzle that points to my current location. March8miracle.org gives a brief summary of other pertinent details, that have also brought me here. The 2010 conclusion of a 2002 message was posted by The Wicker Man, and that was followed closely by a series of significant earthquakes. The first of which landed Moroni’s Instrument. Soon thereafter more WM posts revealed that the Angel Moroni was one of many fabrications. My mission here is clear at this point, but how it all comes together remains a mystery. The words in blue are from the scriptures.

Oh well, things are in a holding pattern until mid-April.
Hopefully the Spirit speaks to The Wicker Man.
Or he may hit a Grand Slam without warning.
Pretty weak response considering the signs that have already been given.
God will respond how he sees fit. Heaven help us.

The point is to not lean on this creation. Don't think you're gonna save it. It's not our job to prevent everything from falling apart.
If God decides that I am to be poor or rich it makes no difference. Being poor or being rich still requires being obedient to Father.

Zion can be had in part here. We don't need to abandon striving the right way for Zion here because if we establish anything as the Spirit directs it will be a paradise on Earth even if not the fullness of the glory possible in the New World and New Creation which I speculate will not have been created within the mystery of iniquity like this creation has been.
I speculate it's like God created a good house on a foundation of evil for the purpose of rescuing those who were trapped in the foundation but this state of affairs is temporary.

Revelation
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

They do sanctify themselves while in the Holy City but when they leave the Holy City they give into the temptations of the world outside. That means they only go through the motions of being sanctified and purified just like many mormons do at the temples before they return to their sinful ways outside of their temples.
