Vision of
Heber C. Kimball
An army of elders will be sent to the four quarters of the
earth to search out the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All
kinds of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the
very elect if such a thing were possible. Our sons and daughters must live pure
lives so as to be prepared for what is coming.
“After a while the Gentiles will gather to this place by the
thousands, and Salt
Lake
“Persecution comes next, and all true Latter-day Saints will
be tested to the limit. Many will apostatize, and others will stand still, not
knowing what to do. Darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the minds
of the people.
“The judgments of God will be poured out upon the wicked to
the extent that our elders from far and near will be called home. Or in other
words, the gospel will be taken from the Gentiles and later on will be carried
to the Jews.
“The western boundaries of the State of Missouri will be
swept so clean of its inhabitants that, as President Young tells us, when we
return to that place, `There will not be left so much as a yellow dog to wag
his tail.’
“Before that day comes, however, the Saints will be put to a
test that will try the integrity of the best of them. The pressure will become
so great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and
night until deliverance comes. Then the Prophet Joseph and others will make
their appearance and those who have remained faithful will be selected to
return to Jackson County, Missouri, and take part in the upbuilding of that
beautiful city, the New Jerusalem.
