Joseph, at the invitation from Father Johnson has moved to the Johnson farm to hopefully have some peace and quiet to finish the revision of the Bible. That won't be as we will see. While at the Johnson farm, Joseph will receive 13 revelations including Section 76. This section could be called an inspired prayer. Joseph designated it a prayer. The main point of the prayer is that the kingdom of God will go forth so the kingdom of Heaven can come. Throughout the old and new Testaments, there are prophecies of the God establishing his kingdom on earth. He will rule a world of peace symbolized by the lion and the lamb lying together. For that to happen, there is preparatory work that must be done. To accomplish that, the Lord has set up the kingdom of God on earth.
For example, the vision in Daniel compares this earthly kingdom to a stone that is cut out of a mountain that rolls forth to consume the whole earth. Once all the prophecies are fulfilled concerning this kingdom, including the preaching of the gospel to every nation and people, then the Savior will come, cleanse the earth of wickedness and the kingdom of Heaven will be established for the millennial reign of Christ. The center of government and the place from where Christ will rule is the City of Zion or the New Jerusalem. This is why so many of the early saints wanted to have what they called an inheritance, or land for a dwelling place there. If Missouri is going to be the location of the city, who wouldn't want to have a home there?
