September 15 – The New Jerusalem. Zechariah 14:4 “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.”

Mormons believe Jesus is going to return to earth someday, but their understanding of where is totally different from what the Bible says.
The first time they prophesied of Jesus’ return they said it’d be in Kirtland, OH. Then it was Missouri, then Nauvoo, Illinois.
Use demonstrative evidence from your Bible to show them when Jesus returns, it’ll be in Jerusalem, not past Mormon headquarters, and not Utah.

Again, the Word of God (Bible) means nothing to the Mormons when compared to the words of their prophets. I would love to see a 2 hour documentary film that explained in detail, the lives of the Mormon prophets, to include how their words and prophecies totally contradict what is in the Bible. I really believe that such a film, if promoted in the right way, could open up the eyes of thousands of Mormons. A major film, such as this, made without any bias toward the Mormon church, could do some marvelous things. A film that only cited facts, not speculation about Mormon history.. A film that shows recorded evidence, bits of history, that even the best church apologists could not refute. A film that would include JS’s varying stories on the first vision, what really happened in regard to the 3 and 8 witnesses, the Kinderhook incident, words from archeologists, to include archeologists from BYU, about the lack of evidence of any BOM civilizations, problems with the BOM itself, the real truth about the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Parley Pratt and other so called Mormon martyrs. A film that cites Biblical scripture about the test of a prophet and then tells of the false prophecies made by JS and BY
