Sign #15 - The Growth of the Kingdom and Church

The Lord told us through Daniel and Modern Revelation through Living Prophets that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would never be destroyed no matter what evil men, led by Satan, can do. 

It would never be left to another people and never again would there by a Universal Apostasy.  This time the Plan of Salvation and the Restored Gospel would remain and in due time, the Established Kingdom of God would break in pieces ALL EARTHLY KINGDOMS and would remain FOREVER.

REMEMBER, My comments will be in RED and in brackets (  ) especially in the MIDDLE of Scripture quotes.

See  DANIEL 2: 44

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Even the Prophet Enoch saw that the Kingdom of God set up in the Last Days would REMAIN until the Lord's Second Coming.

See:  MOSES 7: 60-66

60 And the Lord said unto Enoch: As I live, even so will I come in the last days, in the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfil the oath which I have made unto you concerning the children of Noah;

61 And the day shall come that the earth shall rest, (Millennium - a day = 1000 years)  but before that day the heavens shall be darkened, and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve;

62 And righteousness will I send down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of mine Only Begotten;
 
(The Stick of Ephraim (Book of Mormon) The Second Witness of Jesus Christ - His Only Begotten)

62 continued:
his resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, unto a place which I shall prepare, an Holy City, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem.
 
(Not the old Jerusalem, which shall be Re-built in Glory, but the New Jerusalem (Zion) which has been revealed by Revelation, to be at Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, on THIS CONTINENT.)
63 And the Lord said unto Enoch: Then shalt thou and all thy city meet them there,   (The city of Enoch which was taken up unto the Lord, will Return with Enoch to Meet up with Zion PHYSICALLY, after it is built)  and we will receive them into our bosom, and they shall see us; and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each other;

64 And there shall be mine abode, and it shall be Zion, which shall come forth out of all the creations which I have made; and for the space of a thousand years the earth shall rest(Millennium)

65 And it came to pass that Enoch saw the day of the coming of the Son of Man, in the last days, to dwell on the earth in righteousness for the space of a thousand years;
66 But before that day he saw great tribulations among the wicked; and he also saw the sea, that it was troubled, and men’s hearts failing them, looking forth with fear for the judgments of the Almighty God, which should come upon the wicked.
 
The Wicked are those who do not believe in God and do not Keep His Commandments, and only think of Money, and Power over the hearts of the peopleThese are the ones that say, when you mention God or Jesus or Judgement Day or anything like it, and they say to you, "That Offends Me"
 
What they are really saying in their heart is
 
"Don't mention anything Religious because that troubles me inside, because I know that I am Not doing or living the way I should and I DO NOT want to be Reminded inside, that judgement is coming"

The Lord gave us Assurance that the Gospel would cover the earth.  This revelation was received in October 1831 and the Prophet designates it as a prayer.  It says that the KEYS of the Kingdom of God are committed unto man on Earth and the Gospel will Triumph and the Millennial Kingdom of Heaven will Join the Kingdom of God on earth.  Here it is:

DOCTRINE and COVENANTS 65  The whole chapter.

1 Hearken, and lo, a voice as of one sent down from on high, who is mighty and powerful, whose going forth is unto the ends of the earth, yea, whose voice is unto men—Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
 
2 The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.
 
3 Yea, a voice cryingPrepare ye the way of the Lord, prepare ye the supper of the Lamb, make ready for the Bridegroom.
 
4 Pray unto the Lord, call upon his holy name, make known his wonderful works among the people.
 
5 Call upon the Lord, that his kingdom may go forth upon the earth, that the inhabitants thereof may receive it, and be prepared for the days to come, in the which the Son of Man shall come down in heaven, clothed in the brightness of his glory, to meet the kingdom of God which is set up on the earth.
 
6 Wherefore, may the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come, that thou, O God, mayest be glorified in heaven so on earth, that thine enemies may be subdued; for thine is the honor, power and glory, forever and ever. Amen.
