8  Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be ^agathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.

  66  And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a ^bland of peace, a city of refuge, a place of safety for the saints of the Most High God;

  1  Hearken, O ye elders of my church, saith the Lord your God, who have assembled yourselves together, according to my commandments, in this land, which is the land of Missouri, which is the ^bland which I have appointed and consecrated for the gathering of the saints.

  24  And inasmuch as mine enemies come against you to drive you from my goodly ^aland, which I have consecrated to be the land of Zion, even from your own lands after these testimonies, which ye have brought before me against them, ye shall curse them;

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