It appears that we have gathered many to Zion who do not fully appreciate the great work of these days—namely, to place the people of God in a condition that they can sustain themselves, against the time that Babylon the Great shall fall. Some will say that it is ridiculous to suppose that Babylon, the […]

182. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, John Taylor, 1872
We have been gathered here. What for? What did we come here for? Who knows? We came here because God said he would build up his Zion in the latter days. – John Taylor, 5/26/1872
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 […]
180. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Orson Pratt, 1871
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
160. No Need to Wait, Brigham Young, 1872
We want to see a community organized in which every person will be industrious, faithful and prudent…. But if such a community could be organized, to show the Latter-day Saints how to build up the kingdom of heaven on the earth, I would be glad to see it—would not you? If this could be done […]
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, […]
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
172. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Wilford Woodruff, 1870
In fact there is no dispensation that has been looked upon with as much interest by all the prophets of God and inspired men, from the day of Joseph Smith, as that in which we live, in which the Zion of God is being built up, and the earth is being prepared for the coming […]
164. Co-ops are a Stepping Stone, Brigham Young quote, 1869
This cooperative movement is only a stepping stone to what is called the Order of Enoch, but which is in reality the Order of Heaven. – Brigham Young, 4/7/1869
Jesse Co-ops are a Stepping Stone, Economic Unity 0 Brigham Young
169. Central to The Gospel, Brigham Young, 1867
In killing the Prophet Joseph Smith, they did not kill “Mormonism,” and they cannot kill it unless they kill all the “Mormons,” for if they leave a single Latter-day Saint living he will cry to the people to repent of their sins and return to the Lord, and the Lord will work with him to […]
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 […]
152. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Joseph F. Smith, 1868
We are engaged in the great latter-day work, of preaching the Gospel to the nations, gathering the poor and building up Zion upon the earth. – Joseph F. Smith, 11/25/1868
141. Central to The Gospel, Brigham Young, 1863
The Lord gives us possessions, and he requires of us one-tenth of the increase which we make by the putting to good use the means He has placed in our hands. I am sorry to see a disposition manifested in some to go to distant parts to trade and build up themselves and make money, […]
155. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Brigham Young, 1868
Still, we are here as Latter-day Saints; we have assembled ourselves together to become one; to become the people of God, the children of Zion, the children of light. We are here for the express purpose of separating ourselves from the world and establishing that order of government that we read of in the Holy […]
154. Central to The Gospel, Brigham Young, 1865
There are persons who say they believe [1] in Joseph the Prophet, [2] in the Book of Mormon, [3] in the gathering of the house of Israel, [4] in the building up of Zion, and in all the blessings promised to the Church and kingdom of God upon the earth; but they do not like […]
163. Early Utahns Were Building Zion, Orson Hyde, 1869
But I am not discouraged; I have no feelings to linger or flag, but feel to persevere and to do all I can for the building up of the Zion of our God. – Orson Hyde, 10/6/1869
