18  They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of everlasting joy, to ^cbuild up the waste places of Zion—

  11  But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return to the lands of their inheritances, and shall ^bbuild up the waste places of Zion.

  3  And thus saith the Lord your God, if you will receive wisdom here is wisdom. Behold, the place which is now called Independence is the center place; and a spot for the ^btemple is lying westward, upon a lot which is not far from the courthouse.

  57  And let my servant Sidney Rigdon consecrate and dedicate this land, and the spot for the ^ctemple, unto the Lord.

  10  Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that a ^ahouse should be built unto me in the land of Zion, like unto the pattern which I have given you.

  51  Therefore, for this cause have I accepted the offerings of those whom I commanded to build up a city and a house unto my name, in Jackson county, Missouri, and were hindered by their enemies, saith the Lord your God.
