    When the Lord talks about what will happen to all the nations that fight against Zion in the latter days I think it is important to define “nations” and to define “Zion” so that we may accurately understand what is happening and will happen.

    The theme for Ward Conference today was hearts knit together in unity.  During the discussion in priesthood it struck me that word unity is actually the conclusion of the word community.

    Being one is a recurring theme in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Mosiah 5 – 6This is a Zion people. I think the people under king Benjamin were near in many ways to the people in the city of Enoch. I realized that Benjamin did not plan in advance to take the names of those who chose to take the name of Christ upon themselves.

    D&C 125How did I miss the fact that the Lord told the Saints in Iowa to build a city called Zerahemla in Iowa across the river from Nauvoo? Perhaps because they never did it. Also, I never knew that the Lord had listed Nashville as one of the gathering places of Zion.

    D&C 101: 65 – 101The Wheat and the tares must be separated into clusters of similarity as part of the harvest process which is why we must build Zion or gather to Zion where the wheat will be attracted to gather and allow the tares to band together into enclaves of those who do not…
