…God the Father of Jesus, and all the eternal Priesthood in the heavens expect… all the Priesthood and all the people to be governed by the law of God, and to help faithfully to build Zion and establish the kingdom of God that we may be one in all things temporal and spiritual…. – John […]

250. Its Temporal Too! Brigham Young, 1874
I will now ask the question, where is the individual who can draw the line and show us that, when Jesus prayed that his disciples might be one, he meant a oneness only in spiritual things, and that it was not to extend to temporal affairs? Will any of you draw the line and tell […]
251. Central to The Gospel, John Taylor, 1879
…the time had come, in the councils of heaven, that it was necessary to start the latter-day work, and to prepare a people, gathering them together to build up Zion and establish the kingdom of God upon the earth, that His will might be done upon the earth as it is done in heaven. – […]
218. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, John Taylor, 1881
But as a people we are not of the spirit of the world; we are here not to pattern after the follies of the world, but to build up Zion…. – John Taylor, 1/9/1881
201. We are obligated to build Zion, George Q. Cannon, 1883
It is not my business; God has not required it of me that I should build up anything that is opposed to Zion, but on the contrary that I should always keep in my thoughts and be influenced by it in my actions that which will advance the cause of Zion, and that which will […]
118. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Orson Hyde, 1862
I will prophesy in the name of the Lord God of Hosts that if we continue to walk in the light of truth, to labor to build up Zion, that cup of trembling spoken of by the Prophet Isaiah shall never return to your lips nor to our habitations, but we will float along increasing […]
324. Building Zion is Gods Will – John Taylor quote, 1880
We are told to build up Zion, shall we do it? I tell you in the name of Israel’s God we will do it with the help of the Almighty; we cannot do it without, but with his help we will do it. We will build up the Zion of our God, and help to […]
189. Building Zion is God’s Will, Wilford Woodruff, 1873
We must build up the Zion and kingdom of God on the earth, or fail in the object of our calling and receiving the Priesthood of God in these latter days. The full set time has come, which the Lord decreed before the foundation of the world—the great dispensation of the last days, and a […]
241. We are obligated to build Zion, Wilford Woodruff, 1873
[Jesus Christ] leans upon no other people; he expects from no people but those who have obeyed his Gospel and gathered here, the accomplishment of his great work, the building up of his latter-day Zion and kingdom. And, as I have said, this responsibility rests not only upon Prophets and Apostles, but upon every man […]
215. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Brigham Young, 1876
We have donated towards the deliverance of the poor from foreign lands, bringing them here, where they have the privilege of being taught further in the plan of salvation, and where they can assist more materially in the establishment of Zion in the earth. – Brigham Young, 8/15/1876
153. Building Zion is God’s Will, Wilford Woodruff, 1870
Let us lay hold and build up Zion. Let us realize that we are the children of God, that he is at work with us and that we are at work with him. It has been said that the Lord and a good man are a great majority. He has got a great many good […]
300. Economic Independence – Brigham Young quote, 1870
Are you going to prepare for [Babylon’s fall]? We say we are the people of God and are building up the kingdom of God. We say we are gathered out of the nations to establish Zion. Let us prove it by our works, and we will then manufacture that which we wear. – Brigham Young, […]
230. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Wilford Woodruff, 1868
Why have we gathered to Zion? To fulfill the revelations of God. Isaiah and Jeremiah and nearly all the prophets since the world began have foretold the gathering of the people in the last days to establish Zion…. We are here to do these things, and to receive teachings and instructions that we may be […]
210. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, John Taylor, 1881
…all heaven is interested in the work in which we are engaged; and whatever other men may think about these things, we know what we are doing, and we shall try, in the name of the Lord, and under His guidance and direction, to build up his Zion upon the earth… and [establish] not only […]
288. Central to The Gospel – Joseph F. Smith quote, 1877
Then let us search after truth—for the light of the Spirit which leadeth into all truth, that we may comprehend the Gospel, be able to sustain the hands of the servants of God in their efforts to build up Zion, and work out our own salvation. – Joseph F. Smith, 4/2/1877
166. Economic Independence, Brigham Young, 1865
When we produce our food and clothing in the country where we live, then are we so far independent of the speculating, moneymaking world outside, whereas, if we were to dig gold, and make this our business, then should we become slaves to the producers of food and clothing, and make fortunes for speculators and […]
