AOF 10 of 13!!!!

We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

WOW! There is so much in this article. This is such an amazing concept to go over but we don't have that much time to go in depth in this small blog post but it is talking about missionary work and the second coming. Lets take this piece by piece shall we.

First "We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and the restoration of the Ten tribes." In the Bible it talks about the 12 tribes of Israel and how they were all together but further into the Bible, they were split into the North and South. The 10 tribes also  known as Ephraim went North and the 2 tribes known as Judah and Benjamin stayed in the South. The Bible prophecies have been fulfilled and the 10 tribes and the 2 tribes were scattered and destroyed. In later years, we find out that the tribe of Judah was let back into Israel and now is the major tribe today. The tribes were scattered ALL across the world and it is our job as missionaries to find them and bring them back and to restore the 10 tribes.

Second "We believe that Zion (The new Jerusalem) will be built upon the American Continent;" This is from Modern Revelation. It simply means that Zion or the New Jerusalem is going to be built on the American Continent. The Prophet Joseph Smith said that Zion will be built in Independence Missouri.

Third "We believe that Christ will reign personally upon the earth;" What an AMAZING day that will be. To see our lord Jesus THE Christ come down and reign his world. His presence will be felt so strongly that everyone on this earth will bow down before him and praise him and follow him.

Fourth "We believe that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory." The earth will be so awesome to live on! Everything will be perfect! The earth will literally be resurrected and be perfect once more. That day is coming up pretty quick.

I can not wait for the GREAT and DREADFUL day of the Lord to come! Hopefully by the time that day comes everyone will think it will be a GREAT day but for few it wont. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
