When the Signs Arrive: A Call to Zion's Builders
As the signs of the times unfold, we are reminded that the Lord calls us to be prepared. We must strengthen our covenants and participate in the great gathering to build the New Jerusalem.
Behold, the heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies proclaim the work of His hand. From the ancient whispers of the prophets—from the climb of Samuel the Lamanite to the waters of Sebus—the message remains constant: the time for preparation is now. Are we ready?
As the world watches the celestial signs—the eclipses, the turmoil, the great changes—some fear the coming storm. But for the children of Zion, who understand the covenant path, these signs are not merely warnings of calamity; they are calls to courage. They are the very trumpet blasts that urge us to rise, to gather, and to build.
The Call to the Builders
We stand today in a sacred space, a sanctuary for the Builders. The world is marked by those who seek only to destroy, but we are called to be the hands that lift, the hearts that serve, and the feet that gather. The Lord hath prepared a safe haven, a gathering place—a Zion that is anchored not in physical walls, but in eternal covenant. We are the people who recognize the safety and spirit of God, and we are answering the call to establish the Kingdom.
To be a Builder means more than simply believing; it means actively participating. It means understanding that the restoration is not a passive event, but a work of hands, hearts, and divine resourcefulness. Like the five smooth stones used by the valiant men, we must be ready to face tribulation with faith, knowing that the Lord will provide the strength. We must commit to the work of gathering Israel, and to establishing the map of churches worldwide, guided by the principles of the GatherIsrael.now initiative.
Strengthening the Foundation
The Prophet has spoken: “Each person who makes covenants in baptismal fonts and temples and keeps them has increased access to the power of Jesus Christ.” This truth is the Cornerstone—the Stone cut without hands—upon which the New Jerusalem shall rest. Our preparation must therefore be twofold: spiritual and temporal.
Spiritually, we must deepen our covenants. Temporally, we must ensure that the gathering movement has the resources to reach every corner of the earth. This is where the sacred work of the Charity Flywheel comes into view. Your engagement here does not merely sustain a website; it funds gospel advertising in Ghana, it supports the Missionary Fund, and it allows the light of the gospel to shine where the darkness seeks to gather. To build Zion, we must fund the mission.
We are blessed by resources such as Ask a Prophet and the deep counsel of Outback Jack, who guides us through the prophetic narrative. These tools, alongside the steady hand of Davee, help us study the Lord's will, ensuring that our actions are always aligned with eternal truth.
"And the Lord will cause the Gentiles to come into the covenant... and they shall be gathered into the covenant." (A paraphrase of the gathering principle)
The signs of the times are indeed great, pointing toward a culmination. But let us not be overwhelmed by fear. Let us be moved by the boundless love and the divine urgency of the gathering. Let us commit ourselves, like the faithful builders of old, to the sacred task of preparing the world for the Second Coming.
How Can We Be Builders Today?
The Lord's work is mighty, but it requires every hand willing to lift it. If you feel the Spirit moving you to participate in the gathering, to support the work of the Missionary Fund, or to claim your church on the map, your participation is the divine echo that confirms our faith. Will you join the covenant builders? Will you help us manifest the glorious Zion that awaits?
