The Lord judges not by appearance, but by potential. This is true for Missouri and Zion as well. Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson joins Hank Smith and John Bytheway as they discuss how our observance of the Sabbath is important for not only building Zion but for our preparations for the Second Coming. The Saints (and us) in Kirtland and Missouri are taught by the Lord how to prepare for the Temple, Zion, and the Second Coming.
