Addendum: GUIDE TO THE SCRIPTURES Zion The pure in heart (D&C 97: 21). Zion also means a place where the pure in heart live. The city built by Enoch and his people that was eventually taken to heaven because of righteousness was named Zion (D&C 38: 4; Moses 7: 18-21, 69). In the latter-days a city named Zion will be built near Jackson County, Missouri (United States of America), to which the tribes of Israel will gather (D&C 103: 11-22; 133: 18). The Saints are counseled to build up Zion wherever they are living in the world. The city of David was called Zion, 1 Kgs. 8: 1. Out of Zion shall go forth the law, Isa. 2: 2-3 (Micah 4: 2; 2 Ne. 12: 2-3). The Redeemer shall come to Zion, Isa. 59: 20. I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion, Jer. 3: 14. In mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, Joel 2: 32 (Obad. 1: 17). Blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion, 1 Ne. 13: 37. The daughters of Zion are haughty, 2 Ne. 13: 16 (Isa. 3: 16). Wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion! 2 Ne. 28: 19-25. Seek to bring forth and establish the cause of Zion, D&C 6: 6 (D&C 11: 6). Him have I inspired to move the cause of Zion in mighty power for good, D&C 21: 7. The New Jerusalem shall be called Zion, D&C 45: 66-67. Independence, Missouri, is the place for the city of Zion, D&C 57: 1-3. A scourge remaineth upon the children of Zion until they repent, D&C 84: 58. The Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, Moses 7: 18-19. Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent, A of F 1: 10. scriptures.lds.org

Latter-day Saints The Latter Day Saint movement (Mormons) consists of a group of religious denominations derived from that started by Joseph Smith, Jr., of which the largest by far is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of more than 12 million members. Almost half of all Latter-day Saints — those in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — live in the United States, and the rest are scattered in countries on every continent all over the world. They believe that through baptism and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, they become "regathered" Israelites, either as recovered from the scattered seed of Israel, or as Gentiles adopted and grafted into Israel, and thus becoming part of the chosen people of God. LDS Israelite belief is not strictly ethnic, and as such, Latter-day Saints do not consider themselves to be Jews, but rather as "Israelites" of many different cultures occasionally including Jews. They believe that the House of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) takes a prominent role in the spread of the gospel to all of scattered Israel in the last days as a fulfillment of many Old Testament prophecies, and that the House of Judah has a prominent role in the last days and during the Millennium.
