AWAKENING TO ZION ------ The Book
Awakening to Zion
A Call to the True Remnant
“The bathwater of Babylon will drain away. Let it go. The City of Light is coming. Be ready when it shines.”
Preface
🕊️ Why This Book Exists
This book isn’t about leaving or staying in a church.
It isn’t about loyalty to men or proving who’s right.
It’s about one thing: finding the Savior, Jesus Christ, in a world full of noise, pride, and confusion.
I wrote this because too many good people are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Some are waking up to the Church’s history and losing faith altogether. Others are clinging so tightly to authority and traditions that they’ve forgotten who the gospel is actually about.
But the promises of God are still true.
The Book of Mormon is still true.
The Lord’s work isn’t finished.
This is a simple call to hold on to the baby—Jesus Christ Himself—even when the bathwater of man-made traditions is filthy.
Who This Book Is For
This book is for anyone—inside the LDS Church or outside—who feels something stirring in their heart that says:
- “There has to be more than this.”
- “The Savior’s gospel has to be simpler, purer, than what we’ve been handed.”
- “I want to know Him for myself.”
If that’s you, you’re in the right place.
How to Read This Book
Each chapter is short and direct. You can read one at a time or all in one sitting. But more important than reading is this:
🔥 Ask the Savior if these things are true.
🔥 Don’t take my word for it—or anyone’s.
🔥 Follow the peace, the love, and the light.
Because this isn’t really my book. It’s His call to you.
Chapter 1 — Don’t Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater
🕊️ Following Christ Above All
I have a dear son who once told me,
“Dad, after leaving the Church, I finally have enough time to live the teachings of the Savior.”
And he has. His family flourishes. Their home is peaceful. They live far away from Salt Lake, far from Babylon, and they are thriving.
I honor him for that. I’ve watched him since he was a boy, writing in his journal faithfully, serving others, rising to leadership even before his mission—he was an Elder’s Quorum President at BYU before he’d ever worn a name tag. That’s the kind of heart he has.
But it hurts me too, because I know his story. I was with him the first time he went to the temple. He was so sincere, so proper, so devoted—yet what he saw there broke something inside him. He didn’t feel the Spirit; he felt the weight of man-made oaths and throat-cutting gestures he’d never been prepared for.
No wonder people leave. The Church hasn’t always been honest, and it hasn’t always been clean. But here’s the danger:
👉 We must not throw out the baby with the bathwater.
The Baby We Must Never Throw Away
The “baby” is Jesus Christ—His words, His Spirit, His gospel.
Nephi saw our day and warned:
“Many churches shall be built up that shall say: Come unto me, and for your money you shall be forgiven of your sins… But wo unto them who turn aside the just for a thing of naught.”
(2 Nephi 28:12, 16)
And yet, in the same vision, he reminded us:
“Hearken unto these words and believe in Christ… If ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ.”
(2 Nephi 33:10–11)
The Book of Mormon is still true. Joseph’s first cry to God was still real. Christ still speaks to those who ask.
The Nemenhah Records echo the same warning:
“Do not make idols of men or cast away the works of God because men have corrupted them. The Peacemaker will yet speak to all who will hear.”
(Book of Mohrhohnahyah, Ch. 4)
This is the balance—don’t worship men, but don’t abandon God’s gifts because of men’s failings.
When Men Demand More Than Christ Ever Did
Years ago, my wife worked with our mission president. During that time, fifty missionaries in our area went home. Fifty. The Church tried to keep it quiet, but the truth always leaks out.
Then Elder Jeffrey R. Holland came to town. My wife and I were invited.
They made all the missionaries and guests stand for over 45 minutes waiting for him to enter. My back was screaming, and I kept thinking: What are we doing? Who are we honoring?
When he finally spoke, it wasn’t the tender Holland I’d loved in General Conference. He scolded those missionaries for even thinking about going home.
Around the same time, a video went around—an apostle visiting Africa had to “redo” his entrance because the saints didn’t stand when he walked in. Leaders scrambled to make sure the “proper respect” was shown.
And I couldn’t help but remember Jesus’ words:
“He that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased.”
(Matthew 23:11–12)
Would the Savior have demanded standing ovations? Or would He have quietly washed feet?
The Sacrament Table and the Savior Who Knelt
Every Sunday, I see it again. The deacons wait at the sacrament table. One of them always takes the tray to the presiding priesthood leader first. The entire congregation waits until the “man with the keys” is served.
But I think of the Last Supper.
Did Christ wait to be honored?
Did He sit back until He was served first?
John records:
“He riseth from supper, laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet.”
(John 13:4–5)
The Nemenhah put it plainly:
“The Peacemaker gave first to His disciples before He took for Himself, to show that the greatest in His kingdom is servant to all.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 13)
That’s the gospel. Not the titles. Not the order of who gets the bread first.
Two Extremes We Must Avoid
On one side, there are those—like my son—who have thrown the whole thing out, tired of false traditions and weary of hypocrisy. I can’t blame them.
On the other side, there are those so enamored with authority that they cheer for men in suits and forget the God in sandals.
Both are wrong.
Wake Up. Follow Him.
The baby is Jesus. His voice. His love. His way.
The bathwater is everything else—the pride, the false authority, the fear of men.
Whether you stay or leave, whether you sit in a chapel or worship at home, the true gospel is this:
🔥 Get close to the Savior. Hear His voice. Do His will. Love as He loved.
That’s the only thing that matters. Everything else is just bathwater.
Chapter 2 — Joseph Smith, the CES Letter, and the Bathwater of Lies
🕊️ The Prophet Was No Monster—Don’t Let Them Convince You Otherwise
Thousands are leaving the Church. I understand why.
The CES Letter opened a floodgate of questions—real questions the Church itself should have answered long ago.
But here’s what’s happening now: Joseph Smith—the man who restored Christ’s gospel—is being painted as a pedophile, a liar, even a monster.
And because of that, many are throwing out everything—scriptures, the Restoration, even Christ Himself—right along with the dirty bathwater of institutional lies.
My Son, My Pride
Before I say another word, I need to say this:
I am so proud of my son.
If he reads this, I hope he feels how deeply I love him and admire the life he’s built.
He has lived the two greatest commandments better than most I know:
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart… and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
(Matthew 22:37–39)
That’s how he lives. His family flourishes because he has chosen Christ’s way of love and service, even outside the walls of the Church.
I honor that.
But I also ache. I watched him grow up, keeping a journal faithfully, serving others, even becoming an Elder’s Quorum President at BYU before his mission—almost unheard of.
I still remember the first time I took him to the temple. He was so sincere, so ready to follow God. But what he saw there—the oaths, the throat-cutting gestures—shook him. No one had prepared him for it. The Spirit he expected wasn’t there.
I don’t blame him for struggling.
But I don’t want him—or anyone—to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
I Know Joseph Smith Was a Prophet
Years ago, when a friend left the Church over polygamy, I told him plainly:
“I don’t understand everything, but I know—by the Spirit—that Joseph Smith was a prophet.”
I still know that today. Not because of the Church’s history books, but because the Holy Ghost confirmed it.
The Book of Mormon is still true.
The Savior’s voice still speaks from its pages.
And Joseph Smith was called of God to bring it forth.
The Falling Away Was Prophesied
The Book of Mormon warned us:
“Because of pride, and because of false teachers, their churches have become corrupted, and they are lifted up in the pride of their hearts.”
(Moroni 8:36)
We are the Gentiles spoken of.
The Nemenhah Records confirm this as well:
“The Gentiles through a prophet shall begin the restoration, but they shall fall away into pride. Yet the Peacemaker shall use them because of their industriousness and organization, to send His word forth.”
(Book of Mohrhohnahyah, Ch. 4)
And that’s exactly what’s happening.
The Church itself recently announced that more convert baptisms were performed last year than at any other time in its history. But look closer: most are in third-world nations—humble seekers who are just now discovering that there istruth in the Book of Mormon.
Meanwhile, in places like America, Europe, and Japan, people who dig deeper are leaving in record numbers—because they’re uncovering the corruption, the rewritten history, and the pride.
Both are true at the same time:
God is still using this Church to spread His book, even as the institution falls deeper into pride.
The Polygamy Lie
So let’s be honest:
How could a man inspired to bring forth the Book of Mormon suddenly become a secret abuser of young girls, as the Church now teaches?
That narrative doesn’t match the Spirit I feel when I read his words. It doesn’t match the pattern of Christ’s dealings with His prophets.
The CES Letter raises good questions, but the answers don’t make sense if you accept Brigham Young’s rewritten history as truth.
Brigham Young even called Emma Smith “the most wicked woman on the face of the earth.” Does that sound like a man preserving Joseph’s true teachings?
The Nemenhah warned us:
“When the true prophet is taken, wicked men shall clothe themselves in his mantle, saying, ‘Thus saith the Lord,’ though the Lord has not spoken.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 14)
This is exactly what happened.
Don’t Throw the Baby Out
The CES Letter woke people up—and that’s not a bad thing. But don’t make the same mistake so many are making:
🔥 Don’t throw Christ out with the Church’s corruption.
🔥 Don’t throw Joseph Smith out with Brigham Young’s lies.
The baby—the precious thing—is still Jesus Christ and the truths He restored.
Whether you worship in a chapel or at home, whether you stay or leave, seek Him. Ask Him. Hear His voice.
Because the Spirit still testifies:
“Ye shall have my words, which shall be of great worth unto the Gentiles; and as many as will repent are my covenant people.”
(2 Nephi 30:2)
That promise still stands.
And to my son, if you read this:
I love you. I honor you. You are living the greatest commandments, and that is the truest sign of discipleship. I just pray we all hold on to the baby—the Savior Himself—and not let the bathwater of men’s mistakes wash Him away.
Chapter 3 — How to Test Truth: Hearing the Savior’s Voice Above the Noise
🕊️ Don’t Follow the Robe, Don’t Follow the CES Letter—Follow Him
The world is noisy right now.
Prophets speak. Critics speak. Historians dig up records. YouTubers shout opinions.
Good-hearted people are confused because both sides claim “truth.”
So how do you know?
How do you tell the difference between man’s bathwater and the baby—the Savior Himself?
The Only Safe Test
The Savior gave us a test long before there were conferences or CES Letters:
“That which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually… to love God, and to serve Him.”
(Moroni 7:13)
“That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light and continueth in God receiveth more light.”
(D&C 50:23–24)
The Nemenhah Records echo the same truth:
“The Peacemaker’s voice is peace, love, and service; that which leads to pride and fear is not His voice.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 13)
If it leads to pride, anger, fear, or worshiping men—it isn’t His voice.
If it fills you with light, peace, love, and the desire to serve—that’s Him.
My Witness
Years ago, a good friend left the Church when he learned about Joseph Smith and polygamy. I didn’t have all the answers then (I still don’t). But I told him plainly:
“I don’t understand everything, but I know—by the Spirit—that Joseph Smith was a prophet.”
I didn’t learn that from a conference talk.
I learned it on my knees.
And as the years went by, that quiet witness only grew stronger as I studied the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and even the Nemenhah Records.
The Spirit has never once whispered that Joseph Smith was the monster some now call him. Instead, it has testified over and over:
✅ The Book of Mormon is true.
✅ Joseph Smith was called by God to restore it.
✅ The Gentiles, as prophesied, would fall into pride—but the baby, Christ Himself, remains pure.
Practical Ways to Hear His Voice
The Lord’s test works—if we’re willing to do it.
Here’s how:
- Pray Honestly
- Not, “Who’s right?” but “What is true?”
- Joseph Smith’s first prayer began with a question. (James 1:5, Joseph Smith—History 1:11–13)
- Feast on His Words
- “The words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.” (2 Nephi 32:3)
- Read with an open heart; notice what fills you with peace and light.
- Live the Two Great Commandments
- The Spirit flows best when we love God and our neighbor. (Matthew 22:37–39)
- Don’t Be Afraid of Questions
- Truth never fears questions. The Lord invites them:
“If ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent… He will manifest the truth of it unto you.”
(Moroni 10:4–5)
Don’t Be Fooled by the Noise
The Savior said it simply:
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
(John 10:27)
Not the prophet’s voice.
Not the critic’s voice.
Not even mine.
Just His.
The Call
Whether you are in the Church, out of the Church, or somewhere in between:
🔥 Ask Him. He will answer.
🔥 Follow the peace. Follow the love. Follow the light.
Because in the end, that’s the only thing that matters.
And as I told my friend years ago, and as I’ll tell anyone who asks:
I know the Savior lives. I know He speaks. And I know He still leads all who will listen to His voice.
Chapter 4 — The True Endowment: What Christ Gave vs. What Men Changed
🕊️ Washed by Fire, Not by Ritual
The word endowment once meant something simple and beautiful: a gift of power from God.
The Savior promised it. Joseph Smith preached it.
But over time, men changed it.
Today, many walk away from the temple feeling exactly what my son felt the first time he went—confused, heavy, and disappointed, wondering where the Spirit was.
If you’ve felt that too, you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.
The true endowment of Jesus Christ is something entirely different.
What Christ Actually Promised
The real endowment is not secret handshakes or whispered oaths.
It is what the Savior promised His disciples in every age:
“I will baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost.”
(3 Nephi 12:2)
“Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.”
(Acts 1:8)
The Nemenhah Records say it clearly:
“The Peacemaker endowed His disciples with power from on high when they were sanctified by fire.”
(Book of Mahnti, Ch. 8)
This is the real endowment:
🔥 Sanctification by fire.
🔥 The Spirit filling you with light, cleansing you, and teaching you personally.
🔥 The power to hear His voice and eventually stand in His presence.
No man can confer this. Only Christ can.
What Joseph Smith Taught
Joseph Smith understood this.
His great hope was not to build secret ceremonies, but to bring people into the presence of God while still in the flesh.
He taught in the Lectures on Faith:
“A man is not saved until he has received the knowledge that he is saved in the presence of God.”
(Lecture 7:17)
That’s the endowment of power—the moment you truly receive Christ’s promise for yourself.
What Happened After Joseph’s Death
After Joseph was killed, everything changed.
Brigham Young introduced something entirely different—a ritual patterned after Masonry:
- Secret oaths.
- Penalties with throat-cutting gestures.
- A hierarchy of worthiness based on man’s authority.
Many felt the Spirit withdraw from those ceremonies, but they were told to stay quiet, to obey.
My own son felt it the first time he went—no peace, no joy, just confusion.
And he’s not alone.
What the True Endowment Looks Like Now
The true endowment hasn’t changed, because Christ hasn’t changed.
The Nemenhah Records describe it beautifully:
“When the Spirit sanctifies you, you are clothed in light. No man can confer this. It is given of the Haymehnay (Holy Ghost) and sealed by the Peacemaker.”
(Book of Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn, Ch. 1)
This is the real temple experience.
It happens when you humble yourself, repent, are baptized, and truly receive the Holy Ghost.
It can happen in a chapel, in a home, in the wilderness, or on your knees in a quiet room.
The true endowment is not about robes—it’s about receiving His robe of righteousness.
The Invitation
Forget the robes. Forget the rituals. Forget the fear of not “measuring up.”
Hunger and thirst for the true gift, and the Savior Himself promises:
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.”
(3 Nephi 12:6)
Whether you’ve been through the temple or never set foot in one, the invitation is the same:
🔥 Come to Christ. Ask Him to give you His endowment.
🔥 Seek the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost.
🔥 Don’t settle for an imitation.
And when you receive it, you’ll know. You’ll never doubt again.
Chapter 5 — Zion vs. Babylon: Who Will the Lord Gather?
🕊️ The Meek, the Small Flocks, and the Few Who Hear His Voice
There are only two choices now.
Nephi said it plainly:
“There are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil.”
(1 Nephi 14:10)
This isn’t about denominations. It’s not LDS vs. Catholic, or Mormon vs. Evangelical.
It’s about hearts.
You are either becoming Zion, or you are part of Babylon.
What Zion Actually Is
Zion is not a program.
It’s not a temple recommend.
It’s not an institution.
The Lord’s definition has never changed:
“The Lord called His people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.”
(Moses 7:18)
The Nemenhah Records say it beautifully:
“Zion is not built by oaths or by force, but by the pure love of Christ. They are gathered who lift, not who rule.”
(Book of Mohrhohnahyah, Ch. 4)
Zion is a people, not a place.
The City of Light will come later, but Zion begins in hearts filled with love and consecration right now.
The Fate of Babylon
Babylon isn’t just Las Vegas or Wall Street.
Babylon is every system built on pride, wealth, and control—including corrupted churches.
Nephi warned the Gentiles:
“Because of pride, and because of false teachers, their churches have become corrupted… and they are lifted up in the pride of their hearts.”
(2 Nephi 28:12)
The Nemenhah add:
“The great ones who rule with robes shall fall, for they built not on the rock, but upon the labor of the poor.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 14)
The fall of Babylon isn’t just some future prophecy—it’s happening now.
Prideful institutions are crumbling while small, humble flocks quietly prepare.
Who the Lord Will Gather
Here’s the hard truth: the Lord isn’t gathering a church—He’s gathering a people.
Christ’s pattern has never changed:
“The meek shall inherit the earth.”
(Matthew 5:5)
“The first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”
(Matthew 19:30)
The Nemenhah testify:
“He shall gather the small flocks, the widows, the fatherless, and those who love not their own lives unto death.”
(Book of Mahnti, Ch. 8)
The Lord will not gather those who love wealth, titles, or men in robes.
He will gather those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, no matter where they are or what church they sit in.
The Hard Truth for Many
Many good LDS members believe that simply staying “faithful” to the institution will make them Zion.
But Zion isn’t built by meetings or manuals.
The Lord said it Himself:
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
(John 10:27)
It’s not about being on the right membership roll.
It’s about hearing Him—and following.
The Invitation
Zion begins in your heart, not in Salt Lake or any other city.
🔥 Love God.
🔥 Love your neighbor.
🔥 Consecrate what you have to lift others.
🔥 Listen to His voice, and obey it.
When you do, you are already part of Zion, no matter where you live.
The City of Light, the New Jerusalem, the miracles that are coming—they will be built by people like that.
And if you wonder whether you’re ready to be gathered, the Savior gave you the test Himself:
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
(Matthew 5:8)
That’s Zion. That’s the baby. Don’t let the bathwater of Babylon keep you from it.
Chapter 6 — The Return of the Sealed Portion and the City of Light
🕊️ The Promise That Still Stands
The Restoration isn’t finished.
The greatest promises are still ahead.
The Book of Mormon hinted at it.
The Nemenhah Records confirmed it.
And the Lord Himself has sworn it.
The day will come when the sealed portion returns and the City of Light descends—but only when a people are ready.
The Lord’s Promise of More Records
The Book of Mormon was only the beginning.
“They shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord.”
(2 Nephi 27:8–11)
The Nemenhah Records echo that same promise:
“When the remnant is gathered and Zion established, then shall the sealed records be unfolded, and the Peacemaker shall speak again unto all nations.”
(Book of Mohrhohnahyah, Ch. 17)
The heavens are waiting.
The only thing holding it back is us.
Why the Sealed Portion Is Held Back
The Lord will not pour greater light upon a people who worship men, wealth, and institutions.
Ether warned:
“For the Lord said unto me: They shall not receive it except they shall repent and become clean before the Lord.”
(Ether 4:6)
The moment enough hearts become humble and pure, the floodgates will open.
The Return of Zion—the City of Light
This isn’t a metaphor.
It’s real.
Enoch’s city will return, just as prophesied:
“And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth… and righteousness and truth will sweep the earth.”
(Moses 7:62)
The Nemenhah Records give the same vision:
“The City of Light shall descend when there is a people who mirror its ways—one heart, one mind, pure in love.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 15)
The timing is not about God’s schedule.
It’s about ours.
When we mirror heaven, heaven will meet us.
Who Will Be Part of It?
Not the proud.
Not those waiting for Salt Lake to save them.
The Lord will gather those who live Zion now:
🔥 The meek who love God more than life.
🔥 The pure in heart who lift the poor and forget themselves.
🔥 The small flocks who hear His voice above the noise.
The Invitation
The sealed portion will not return to Babylon.
The City of Light will not descend on a people full of pride.
So be the reason He can send more.
Hunger and thirst for righteousness.
Live the two great commandments daily.
Seek and receive His true endowment—the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost.
The Savior promised:
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
(3 Nephi 12:6)
When enough of us hunger for Him—not for men, not for churches, but for Him—the heavens will open.
The book will return.
The City of Light will shine.
And we will see the Peacemaker face to face.
Chapter 7 — The Final Call: Why the Church Was Rejected and What Comes Next
🕊️ The Voice of Warning and the Hope Beyond Babylon
The time of quiet warnings is ending.
The Lord is moving, and the scriptures are being fulfilled before our eyes.
The Book of Mormon foretold it.
The Nemenhah Records confirmed it.
And now we are living in the very days when the Gentiles—yes, the Latter-day Saints included—are stumbling in pride and losing the fulness of what the Lord once offered.
But this isn’t just about judgment.
It’s about hope—because what comes next is the greatest work of all time.
Why the Church Was Rejected
The Book of Mormon could not be clearer:
“If the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts… I will take away their fulness from among them.”
(3 Nephi 16:10)
The Nemenhah Records testify the same:
“They fell away because they sought to rule rather than serve; therefore the Peacemaker withdrew His Spirit from their councils.”
(Book of Mohrhohnahyah, Ch. 4)
Even the Doctrine & Covenants confirms it—though few want to admit it:
“There is not a place found on earth that he may come to and restore again that which was lost unto you, or which he hath taken away, even the fulness of the priesthood.”
(D&C 124:28)
The fulness was offered, then lost.
And instead of repenting, the Gentiles doubled down—building institutions, gathering wealth, and worshiping prophets instead of Christ.
What Comes Next
The Lord is not wringing His hands over Salt Lake.
The Book of Mormon promised:
“The work of the Father shall commence… in preparing the way whereby His people may be gathered home to the New Jerusalem.”
(3 Nephi 21:22–23)
The focus has shifted:
- Away from institutional Gentiles.
- Toward the remnant of Israel and small flocks who hear His voice.
The Nemenhah are plain about it:
“The Peacemaker shall gather the small flocks and the humble ones, for they do not contend for rule, but lift and serve one another in love.”
(Book of Mahnti, Ch. 8)
This gathering is already beginning. Quietly. Away from the spotlight.
The Fall of Babylon
Babylon—every system of pride and control—will fall suddenly.
The Lord showed John the Revelator this day, and the Nemenhah Records echo it:
“When the great merchants fall, those who trusted in riches shall weep; but the small flocks shall rejoice, for the Peacemaker shall be among them.”
(Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Ch. 15)
The LDS Church’s billions will not save it.
The banks will fail.
The proud will mourn.
But the humble, the meek, the small flocks—they will rejoice.
Because Zion will rise.
The Hope Beyond Babylon
This is not a message of doom.
This is the best news in the world.
The greatest promises are still ahead:
🔥 The sealed portion will return.
🔥 The City of Light will descend.
🔥 Christ Himself will walk with His people again.
The Lord has not abandoned His work—He’s finishing it.
The Final Invitation
The time to prepare is now.
Not later. Not after another conference talk or institutional program.
Repent.
Receive the true endowment—the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost.
Love God. Love your neighbor. Consecrate your life to lifting others.
When you do this, you are already part of Zion, no matter where you live.
The Savior’s promise is sure:
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
(Matthew 5:8)
That’s the baby we hold onto. That’s the promise.
The bathwater of Babylon will swirl down the drain. Let it go.
The City of Light is coming. Be ready when it shines.
Epilogue — The Work Has Only Just Begun
🕊️ Be the Reason Zion Rises
The Restoration isn’t over. It never was meant to end with men in suits or with buildings in Salt Lake.
The Lord’s promises are still unfolding:
🔥 The sealed portion will return.
🔥 The City of Light will descend.
🔥 Christ Himself will walk again with His people.
But the gathering won’t wait for an institution to approve it. It’s already happening. Quietly. Among small flocks. Among humble hearts who hear His voice and follow.
The Call to You
If you take only one thing from this book, let it be this:
👉 You don’t need permission to come to Christ.
👉 You don’t need a title to serve Him.
👉 You don’t need to wait for Zion—Zion starts in you.
Love God. Love your neighbor. Repent. Receive the baptism of fire. Consecrate your life to lifting others.
Do this, and you are already part of the work He’s doing.
A Final Promise
The Savior Himself made it simple:
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”
(Matthew 5:8)
That is still the greatest promise of all.
The bathwater of Babylon will drain away. Let it go.
Be the reason heaven opens.
Be the reason the sealed portion returns.
Be the reason the City of Light descends.
The work has only just begun—and it begins with you.
