Joseph Smith & A Marvelous Work and A Wonder

Joseph Smith successfully laid the foundation of Zion 190 years ago. But he’s returning again with vengeance to scatter watchmen, tear down hedges, destroy their towers and redeem the Lord’s vineyard. Zion will return triumphant.

The End-time Servant – Isaiah 48-49 & Jeremiah 23

Both Isaiah and Jeremiah wrote extensively about the apostasy of the Lord’s house in ancient times, while paralleling it with the last days and the condition of the gentiles.
