Pillars of Zion

Grassroots growth:

D&C 97: 18-28 

18 And, now, behold, if Zion do these things she shall ^aprosper, and spread herself and become very glorious, very great, and very terrible.

Zion's reputation and Divine Protection:

19 And the ^anations of the earth shall honor her, and shall say: Surely ^bZion is the city of our God, and surely Zion cannot fall, neither be moved out of her place, for God is there, and the hand of the Lord is there;

20 And he hath sworn by the power of his might to be her salvation and her high ^atower.

What Zion is:

21 Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is ^aZion—the pure in heart; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn.

22 For behold, and lo, ^avengeance cometh speedily upon the ungodly as the whirlwind; and who shall escape it?

23 The Lord’s ^ascourge shall pass over by night and by day, and the report thereof shall vex all people; yea, it shall not be stayed until the Lord come;

24 For the ^aindignation of the Lord is kindled against their abominations and all their wicked works.

Zion shall escape IF:

25 Nevertheless, Zion shall ^aescape if she observe to do all things whatsoever I have commanded her.

26 But if she ^aobserve not to do whatsoever I have commanded her, I will ^bvisit her ^caccording to all her works, with sore affliction, with ^dpestilence, with ^eplague, with sword, with ^fvengeance, with ^gdevouring fire.

27 Nevertheless, let it be read this once to her ears, that I, the Lord, have accepted of her offering; and if she sin no more ^anone of these things shall come upon her;

28 And I will bless her with ^ablessings, and multiply a multiplicity of blessings upon her, and upon her generations forever and ever, saith the Lord your God. Amen.
