The Coming of the Lord, p 85, 114; “In this dispensation there is a principle or commandment peculiar to it. What is that? It is the gathering of the people to one place…
Brigham Young warned…Do you believe that we, as Latter-day Saints, are preparing our own hearts, our own lives, to return to take possession of the centre Stake of Zion, as fast as the Lord is preparing to cleanse the land from those ungodly persons who dwell there?…If we are not very careful, the earth will be cleansed from wickedness before we are prepared to take possession of it.” – Gerald N. Lund
