A Message to

ZION
Dear Brethren and Sisters in the gospel of Christ,
May these joyous greetings find their way to you at a time
when you are healthy, prosperous, and enjoying the blessings of
close fellowship with the Spirit of God. We trust that you cherish
your faith in God and your opportunities to further is !ingdom
more than anything else. "ou may be aware that the Church of
#esus Christ of $atter%day Saints and its founders ha&e in the past,
accomplished more on this earth for the sal&ation of man'ind than
any other group of people. (he $.D.S. in general are sincere in
their ser&ice to God and they are still fulfilling important purposes
in the plan of the $ord, e&en though they ha&e gradually set aside
their most important principles and peculiarities. (hat is, with the
e)ception of a small branch of the Mormons.
(he Church has had a &ery successful trac' record. (heir
growth rate has been astonishing in &iew of the much opposition
that beset them during the first few years. (he Church had its
beginning when a much more important group was commanded to
organi*e it. (his group referred to is, of course, the +riesthood.
Many people ha&e, due to the magnitude of the Church, let this
plain historical fact become o&ershadowed. ,t is the responsibility
of the +riesthood to carry forward the $ord-s purposes of this last
dispensation of the fullness of times (he main purpose being to
bear witness of the gospel of #esus Christ to the world. (o assist
the +riesthood in this calling, the +rophet #oseph Smith re&ealed to
them the will of the $ord to ha&e a public au)iliary organi*ation, a
Church. (he +riesthood of God ga&e birth to the Church of #esus
Christ on .pril /, 0123. ,t too' a number of years, howe&er, to get
it on its feet.
,t was four years before a select 4uorum of +riesthood
brethren finally, commissioned by #oseph, chose twel&e faithful
brethren to be ordained as .postles of the $ord #esus Christ in is
latter%day Church. (he Church grew grace by grace. .s the need
arose, more about its organi*ation was re&ealed.

,t was gi&en custody of something &ery sacred5 the first
principles and ordinances of the gospel of #esus Christ. ,t was to
send these good tidings before the world.
.s the higher principles and ordinances of the gospel were
gi&en to #oseph, the more faithful +riesthood brethren would, in
turn, be taught them. ,n many cases it was years before some of
these more sacred principles were gently allowed to go public by
the prophets, through the medium of the Church. (he 6.rticles of
7aith,6 though fairly basic, contained enough uni4ue teachings that
when taught to the world, it was still too much for some good
humble followers of Christ to accept. Most all proselyti*ing efforts
were encompassed in these articles. Missionaries ha&e always been
instructed to stay within their scope5 the first four principles8
modern re&elation8 li&ing prophets8 owe&er, the Boo' of
Mormon8 the gathering of ,srael, etc. ,the .dam%God doctrine8 the
law of consecration8 the law of celestial%plural marriage and other
higher principles were too much for a world so bound down by
centuries of false and superstitious traditions. ,magine how much
more persecution the saints would ha&e had and how slow the
Church would ha&e grown if the $ord had re4uired the fullness of
the gospel to be made public from the beginning. .dmittedly, this
may be difficult for most people to imagine who ha&e ne&er yet
been taught what the fullness of the gospel is.
7ortunately for the saints, the $ord lead them from the false
traditions of the world to the e)alting principles, gently and
gradually. (he +riesthood deli&ered the law of consecration to the
Church a spoonful at a time. (he .dam%God doctrine began to be
taught among the +riesthood and after a number of years was
released to the Church. Celestial%plural marriage was gi&en too and
li&ed by the worthy saints through pri&ate +riesthood operations
for a number of years before it was admitted%to8 and then gi&en to
the Church as a holy principle of the gospel of #esus Christ. Many
faithful had recei&ed witness of it and were commanded of the
$ord to li&e it8 yet at the same time, it was legitimately denied that
the Church either belie&ed, taught or practiced it. 9&entually the
:
+riesthood deli&ered the full law of celestial marriage to the
Church and it was openly taught.
(hough the Church was e&entually gi&en all the higher,
principles8 the members as a whole ne&er really embraced them. .
small percentage were faithful8 but the most part the membership
pro&ed to be ashamed of the fullness of the gospel
Being subject to the will of the majority, the Church began
a series of official re&ersals in principles and ordinances. (his
began in the late eighteen%hundreds. (he historic 01;3 Manifesto,
to the eyes of the Church and the world, officially set aside the
essential principle of celestial marriage. (he +riesthood recei&ed
that higher law bac' to itself and has perpetuated it unbe'nown to
the eyes of the world <e)cept those to whom the $ord has re&ealed
it=, to this &ery day.
>nfortunately for the church members. these re&ersals
continued. (hough it had not frustrated the plan of God, is true
ser&ants, or the wor' of this dispensation it has, howe&er,
effecti&ely ser&ed to dar'en the minds of those saints who insist on
ha&ing the gospel their own way and anchor their faith in the arm
2
of their church leaders. (he law of consecration was soon replaced
with a lesser law. (he .dam%God doctrine became an
embarrassment. (he purpose and design of the oly +riesthood
garment has been mutilated. (he true prophets and apostles went
into hiding as the compromising presidents and general authorities
too' their place. (he re&elations ha&e stayed with the prophets,
gi&ing way for the official declarations that ha&e no resemblance
or relationship with the word of God. (he gathering of ,srael has
been nullified, and unsanctioned temples ha&e been built around
the world outside the borders of ?ion. @isions, miracles, signs and
wonders began disappearing and many doctrinal and organi*ational
changes too numerous to mention, gradually came in. .s the
Church ga&e up each principle, its light unto the world flic'ered a
little and faded, but soon the members got their eyes used to the
dimmer setting and consoled themsel&es with the increased
friendship with the world. .s time passed, the members forgot all
about any brighter light and became ripe to concede some other
principle. (he spiritual desert that had blossomed as a rose was
fading just as ,saiah had prophesied. <,sa. :1= (he latest serious
concession came with the e)tension of the +riesthood to the
Cannanites. (he church members ha&e been conditioned to follow
blindly anything their leader will say. (his is apostasy. (he Gentile
Church of #esus Christ of $atter%Day Saints, has completed their
rejection of the gospel of Christ. ,f the few humble followers of
Christ who remain scattered and confused, wish to be filled
spiritually and shown how to sanctify themsel&es, they must now
pray earnestly unto God that e will allow them to escape from the
apostate part of ?ion and find the unwa&ering remnant of #acob
spo'en of in prophecy and established in this day
(he $ord has not forgotten is people. is prophets and
the 'eys of the +riesthood ha&e remained intact and ha&e passed
from one prophet to another in due order from #oseph Smith, #r.
throughout these infamous years of apostasy. (he $ord-s hand has
not been shortened. "ou will not ha&e an e)cuse to ha&e ignored
the higher principles. (hough they ha&e been denounced by the
Church, they ha&e always been a&ailable to those who would be
A
true to what the Church did ha&e and who hungered and searched
after further light.
7ore'nowing the apostate course the $.D.S. Church would
choose, the $ord 'ept is true ser&ants out of the lime%light until
the 6times of the gentiles6 were fulfilled. (hat time is now past.
(he final call to all the contrite in spirit is now going forth. #esus
Christ is calling is people to gather in the remnant of #acob, to
prepare the way for the coming of the $ord.
(he 6Branch6 of the $ord-s house has been organi*ed as
abundantly prophesied, new apostles ha&e been called, 6men
wondered at,6 ha&ing been tutored and prepared by the
administering of angels though wea' in church establishment
credentials. (hin' not that you can procrastinate the day of your
awa'ening and obedience. umble yourself8 consider the
possibility of these things8 e)amine the following claims with a
prayerful heart and you will come to 'now their truthfulness by the
power of the oly Ghost5
.= By way of commandment and re&elation the prophet #ohn
(aylor set apart a few worthy +riesthood brethren to which the
'eys of the +riesthood were transferred. (he church leaders <some
of whom were among those set apart= for many years, 4uietly
ac'nowledged and wor'ed with these special apostles in
administering the higher ordinances to the worthy saints. (his
custodial +riesthood body of apostles and their following was not
to compete with the 6Mother Church,6 but were strictly
commissioned to 'eep the fullness of the gospel ali&e. (hey ha&e
passed the 'eys of the +riesthood from one prophet to the ne)t
until today they are held by a true li&ing prophet.
B= (his li&ing prophet has been personally anointed and
commissioned by #esus the Christ and #oseph Smith, #r. and set
apart to organi*e the righteous branch as foretold in prophecy, to
gather out of ?ion all the true followers of Christ.
B
C= (he gathering of the $ord-s people to places of refuge both
here in .merica and in #erusalem has commenced in preparation
for the cleansing of the earth which is to come.
D= (he fullness of the gospel8 including the higher principles
as contained in the Boo' of Mormon, the Doctrine and Co&enants,
and as restored and taught by the +rophet #oseph Smith are fully
a&ailable to all saints who desire eternal progression earnestly
enough to want to li&e by e&ery word which has proceeded forth
from the mouth of God.
9= (he gifts of the oly Spirit are present8 miracles, signs, and
wonders, to them that belie&e. God re&eals imself to is prophet.
"ou can read the re&elations for yourself and through the grace of
God and by means of the >rim and (hummim, the faithful will
shortly be able to read more ancient and sacred scripture as
promised.
7= (he branch of Christ-s Church is organi*ed with the
+rophet and .postles and is acti&ely fulfilling its mission as
foretold8 and is ma'ing a&ailable to the saints, all the principles
and ordinances of the fullness of the gospel of Christ8 and is
directed by the oly Spirit in all functions.
G= (here is ample scriptural and historical e&idence for anyone
who does not fear, and is prompted by the oly Ghost to study
these claims. ,f you are not afraid to learn that these things are true,
you can most assuredly 'now, by the power of the oly Ghost that
these things are true. God will manifest it to you if you will study
and as' with a bro'en heart and contrite spirit
We need not ma'e e)cuses for these claims or 4ualify them.
(hey will be completely &erified to you whether in life or on the
other side of the &eil8 to your eternal condemnation or to your
eternal glory. (he truth will triumph o&er error. +lace your faith in
God, open your mind, belie&e that God will tell you the truth of all
things which you ha&e made yourself worthy to 'now.
