Been at it more than forty years and nary a nibble fishing for Zion among those directly charged with bringing it forth and establishing it. WHY?
Look at the history of Zion. The antediluvian Zion was a refuge from the wanton destruction of all believers as evidenced by Enoch having to miraculously defend his city. And as further evidenced by the fact that all saints who received the gospel after the City of Enoch was taken, were also taken off the earth proper. The world was filled with violence and most of that came at those who dared to forsake the world I suspect.
After the flood Melchizedek gathered those who refused to build the tower of Babel and supposedly his city was taken too, as Abraham was left to wander as a stranger in a strange land, much like Noah.
The Jaredites have no history of attaining Zion notwithstanding a few righteous kings. You would think someone like Mahonri Moriancummer would convince a few to get the gospel right. He moved a mountain, yet no Zion.
The Book of Mormon conversions of the people of King Benjamin and the Reformation of Alma and the sons of Mosiah never attained Zion. Which is evidenced by how quickly the believers slipped into wickedness.
The Jews who believe on Christ who were visited of Christ after him rising from the dead were coached sufficiently to open the door to Zion and seemingly attempted it per Peter's economical collective. But that was short lived. The Gentiles never got close to a Zion and the gospel "petered" out rather quickly regardless of its strong legacy.
Perhaps most of the people of King Benjamin were faking their conversion. It is difficult to imagine that if an entire people got the gospel they lacked the drive and desire to become Zion.
Joseph had lots of fakers around him as well. The Gentiles of the Reformation always refused Zion and probably were only faking compliance to be included in what ever gain they though possible by joining with the "saints".
The Book of Mormon desolation and dramatic theophany of Christ did establish a working Zion that lasted at least two hundred years. Imagine that? What a huge dramatic set up for Zion. Where are the three Nephites? John? Why have they forsaken these days?
The Zion of our age is meant to last a thousand years.
It is also suppose to precede the end of the world and Christ is suppose to walk among Zion before he comes to Jerusalem to save them at Armageddon.
Before the end of this world only the Mark of the Beast persecution could raise the desire for a refuge and possibly persuade a few to get the power of Zion in the real gospel of Jesus Christ. If they are wise and have a clue. But from where are they going to be enlightened?
Do you see how difficult it is to accomplish the Zion heart? Ordinance cannot do it. Therefore the Mormons are sunk and completely taken out of the picture of a future Zion. They will suffer with the ungodly in the day of burning and desolation.
The economic persecution of the Beast will entirely engulf Momonism and it will cease to exist when that card is turned over if itself has not become that very Beast.......(I can image how that could happen)
Since the Lord is yet opening up his purposes it must be hoped that a few will stand up and take upon them the burden of Christ and become Zion. Why would the Lord be working toward that end if it is wholly vain?
To endure a thousand years the children of Zion must be furnished with the power of Zion absolutely. It cannot be watered down or him-hawed half-baked almost their any day now guessing themselves as good as it is possible to get. NO! Zion must be competent and fully knowledgeable as to what it is and how it is accomplished and what hinders and what defiles and what must keep it generation after generation.
Anyone today think that the LDS are closing in on such excellence towards their intended destiny? They will only get the back of the hand from punishment meet for the folly of hypocrisy.
Where or where shall Zion arise?

Re-tool American Politics
Re-tool American Politics
Op-Ed October 3, 2012 by
James Q. Muir
The problems facing us all need
deliberate consideration to re-tool and purposefully design a political process
that best serves a nation, of the people, by the people and for the people. We
honor those patriots who originated this great nation. We owe a debt of
gratitude to those fledgling Americans who diligently secured their birthright
of a new nation and carried forward the building of a system that has lasted down
to this day.
Following all the passion and trust
and glory that has been plied into American politics we need to face the
present fact that the old tools are no longer reliable and have created an
unacceptable corruption that now plagues our daily lives. American politics is
broken and we need to fix it. This admission should rally all to rise up and
see to it, that a valid solution is developed and soon.
It is proposed therefore that the basis of all politics should
no longer be money collected into the hands of our politicians, and all the influence
that it can buy. Rather, hereafter,
the very foundation for our democracy should be put upon us and gladly borne by
all Americans rejoicing.
Politics should rest upon every man and women. We should carry
it forth and we should own it. Whoever gets elected would be obligated to us,
and to us only, and no special interest need apply.
For too long we have meekly suffered
the bullying of political machinery by the oppressiveness of vast wealth. Of
course America is all about the dreams of peaceful riches and confident security.
All the more abundantly and fairly these blessing are made secure in the
sensible safeguarding of general interests which owes it only allegiance to our
common and greater good.
If we the people own the mechanism
by which all politicians are enabled to run for office and debate and publicize
their views, by disenfranchising money from the entire process, we will have
re-tooled and invented a sensible safeguard that will long endure.
It is proposed that anyone who
desires to be elected submit to the volunteers their prospectus. From these are
chosen candidates whom the people shall sustain in open campaigning. Yeah,
that’s right, take your political parties and shove it. Thanks for nothing.
If you need a party system to hobnob and get your pet projects
into law yet lacking merit enough to persuade sufficient numbers of
congressmen, true patriots all, it is of no use to America.
A minimum amount of public service would be required of those willing
to volunteer and be certified to participate in the PRE-VOTE that chooses local
and national candidates. This insures sensible results and the anonymity of who
is voting. Collusion between
volunteers will result in loss of certification.
This rather odd step of a PRE-VOTE will avoid a circus riot of
freeloading wannabees that could waste precious resources. Every candidate
would submit credentials and have their background confidentially considered by
volunteer briefing committees in City, County, State and National elections. These
briefs prepared for all PRE-VOTE volunteers respectively. Incumbents seeking
another term must begin anew.
Since all volunteers are unknown to potential candidates no
influence could be brought to bear upon their decisions. A volunteer would keep
secret their status as a sacred duty they owe to their country.
It is proposed that the burden of
campaigning for public office be born entirely by the public. The process would
require that all reasonable costs a candidate incurs be drawn upon a National Public
Office Fund. No business by law could deny service to any candidate in good
standing.
Any private business that secures a
debt from a candidate may right off the fair amount against levied yearly
contribution requirements. Taxes! And no candidate would know who was paid or
chose to write off or who donated amounts due them for the greater good of all
Americans.
It would be a crime to publicize
any donations for prominence, favor, or public relations by any business or
private person. This responsibility should be owned as a sacred honor for the
privilege of being American.
Freedom from
vapid-silver-spoon-fed-self-entitled-spoiled-brats who vaunt themselves
seriously worthy of the common trust of all Americans, who lustfully only want
to put their greedy hands and influence upon the vast resources of our great
nation would soon disappear from American politics.
Only the truest servants with
altruistic intent need apply. Patriots need only apply. We shall bear them upon
our shoulders both great and small and shout their names from the housetops and
allow those selected to refine their points of view and sell us their best
intentions, wisdom, diligence and intelligence in the general elections.
Let freedom ring aloud all the more
in a new politics sanctified by the equity of the people. What I propose need
not be exactly what happens. But let us be about re-inventing democratic
politics even if it only rolls out at last to allow us to rise from the ashes
of our impending doom. May we be resolute with the resolve that greed and very
vanity shall never brings us down again.
We must never again suffer ourselves to be harvested as if not a
people and not a nation but merely a commodity to be duped and plundered. No
never again. The residuals of this wisdom would remove wastefulness after
wastefulness from the dark underbelly of madness where trillions and trillions
of dollars have poisoned the liberty of us all.
