[Brigham Young Sermon] ... When we read of the History of the City of the Zion of Enoch we find it a beautiful City So will it be with the Zion of God in the last days which we are called to build up. It will be 1500 mile's square and if this was the case it would reach nearly to the pacific Ocean
...I don't want to have the Elders testify that I am Joseph successor for all Earth and Hell knows it and it does not require any proof; ...

"I am Joseph successor for all Earth and Hell knows it and it does not require any proof;"
ReplyDeleteHow true a statement this was! Brigham stands convicted out of his own mouth. He was indeed the successor from Hell, the fallen apostle who became a devil, that all the devils in Hell did indeed know about. But Heaven for sure and for certain did not recognize him as successor! How ironic!
" a [City] WE are called to build up ... 1500 miles square"
ReplyDelete... and as usual Brigham was absurdly wrong again in his statement in the 1st paragraph. This city has already been built without human hands, as note below:
Rev.21:
[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
[2] And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
[16] And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs [1500 MILES]. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
