177. Central to The Gospel, Brigham Young, 1867
You and I have the privilege of serving God, of building up Zion, sending the gospel to the nations of the earth and preaching it at home, subduing every passion within us, and bringing all subject to the law of God. – Brigham Young, 12/8/1867
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 […]
238. Its Temporal Too!, John Taylor, 1877
…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 […]

171. Central to The Gospel, Brigham Young, 1867
We have many duties to perform, and a great work is before us. We have Zion to build up, and upon this we are all agreed, but we differ more or less respecting the modus operandi for we wish, in the majority of instances to follow the dictates of our own inclinations. – Brigham Young, […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

We have labored, in the midst of persecution, for forty years past in trying to establish Zion among the Gentiles. – Orson Pratt, 5/26/1871
157. Building Zion Requires Real Labor, Heber C. Kimball, 1863
As members of the body of Christ we are called upon to labor and to do our part towards building up his kingdom, and should all have equal interest in that kingdom. We manifest our attachment to the principles of progress and improvement, both of which are intimately connected with the building up of Zion, […]
217. Central to The Gospel, John Taylor, 1884
We are here for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the will of God, with the law of God, with the order of God, with the dominion of God; and we are here to establish the kingdom of God. We are here to be taught in things pertaining to the Church of God, and its […]
