Come Up Hither to Zion: William Marks and the Mormon Concept of Gathering delves deep into the life of William Marks, a devoted follower of Joseph Smith and a key figure in the early history of the Latter Day Saint movement. Marks's journey from a descendant of Puritan settlers to a fervent convert to Mormonism is a fascinating exploration of faith, community, and the quest for spiritual truth. As Marks navigates the tumultuous landscape of early Mormonism, readers are taken on a gripping journey through pivotal moments such as the banking crisis in Kirtland, the expulsion of Saints from Missouri, and the clandestine practice of plural marriage. However, Marks's story goes beyond mere historical events; it is a testament to the enduring struggle to define one's place within a religious tradition while attempting to balance devotion to the faith, interpersonal relationships, and personal integrity. After the death of Joseph Smith, Marks found himself at the center of a power struggle among various groups claiming succession. His interactions with Brigham Young, James Strang, and others illuminate the diverse interpretations of Mormon doctrine and the differing visions of what Zion should be. From his involvement in defining moments in Mormonism to his break with Young and eventual ordination to the First Presidency of the Reorganized Church, Marks's life encapsulates the challenges and complexities of early Latter Day Saint history. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Come Up Hither to Zion sheds light on the intricate tapestry of beliefs and practices that shaped Marks's spiritual journey and offers a compelling exploration of the Mormon concept of gathering as both a physical and philosophical endeavor.

“The present volume is published in the hope of fulfilling my father’s wish that he might help make clear to Bible students what he felt to be a most beautiful and spiritual but too often beclouded book of the Bible.” — From the prefatory note

A Divinely Inspired Exhaustive Study Unveiling the Entire Book of Revelation. Rev. Rose was given a dream of the rapture after the first of the recent 4 blood moons, in 2014. Receiving many visions to follow, she was inspired to share what God was telling her about the Book of Revelation, and the soon return of the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. It is the full explanation of the Book of Revelation. In this book, Rev. Rose shares what God has told her of Jesus coming, her visions, what is expected of his Bride, and God’s true worship days. She adds some of her personal theories of prophetic timing she has come to know.

While Revelation is basically a book of prophecy, yet it is full of doctrinal teaching. Such doctrines as God’s foreknowledge, the inspiration of the Word, the deity of Christ, blood redemption, the resurrections, repentance, faith, security, the perpetuity of the churches, Israel’s restoration, the great tribulation period, the judgments, the reward of the saints, and the earthly reign of Christ and His saints are all found in the book. The whole plan of redemption and the fulfillment of all prophecy finds its consummation in Revelation. The only light which God’s children have to strengthen and encourage them in this day of fear and uncertainty is the light of prophecy. God’s faithful saints put their faith in the coming of the Son of God, our Redeemer, our protector, and our sure refuge in the time of life’s gravest perils. Let us sound out the sure word of prophecy! From the author of: That Ye May Marvel or The Significance of Bible Numbers -and- The Pattern, The Tabernacle, The Christ. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” (Revelation 1:3)
