Zion is a place. Zion is a people. Zion is a holy state of being. In the words of Spencer W. Kimball, Zion is “the highest order of priesthood society.” It is the heritage of the Saints. “The building up of Zion,” Joseph Smith taught, “is a cause that has interested the people of God in every age; it is a theme upon which prophets, priests and kings have dwelt with peculiar delight; they have looked forward with joyful anticipation to the day in which we live; and fired with heavenly and joyful anticipations they have sung and written and prophesied of this our day; but they died without the sight; we are the favored people that God has made choice of to bring about the Latter-day glory.” In that sense, as Joseph Smith stated, “We ought to have the building up of Zion as our greatest object.”Share
