In a revelation given through Joseph Smith in Kirtland, Ohio, Sept. 11,
1831, the following occurs:
"For behold, I say unto you that Zion shall flourish, and the glory
of the Lord shall be upon her. And she shall be an ensign unto
the people, and there shall come to her out of every nation under
heaven." (Doc. and Cov. 64: 41, 42.)
The many different nationalities represented in this Territory today
is conclusive proof of the fulfilment of this remarkable prophecy,
which was uttered at a time when the Church consisted of only a few
persecuted people, and the Elders had only commenced preaching in a few
of the States.
