Mormon Dilemma 372

Ruler of the World

Journal of Discourses 7:53; “What the world calls “Mormonism” will rule every nation. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young will be the head. God has decreed it, and his own right arm will accomplish it. This will make the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing. Yet upon the words of these men the eternal destiny of the generation in which they lived hangs.” – Orson Hyde, “Hostility of the United States Government towards the Saints”

Isaiah 66:1-2; “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? 2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

If God is using the earth as His footstool and we already know that Jesus is our King then what exactly is Mr. Hyde referring to?
