The question was raised in this post about the uniting of multiple lines of authority. Prophecy tells us there will come a day (which I maintain is less than 20 years off) when all men must take up the sword, or flee to Zion. When the people of the world openly reject and eject the righteous from among them, they are cursed. The Book of Revelation speaks of what will happen to the world when that day comes. There will only be one truly safe place on this Earth where men are free to live whatever religion they believe in, and it will be in the Rocky Mountains.

Does this mean everyone who comes to the Rockies for protection will be required to join the LDS Church? Of course not. Will the LDS Church ever acknowledge the authority of other religions as coming directly from God and being approved by him? I cannot say. For that question I refer to Bruce R. McConkie's statements about blacks and the priesthood in 1976. He later openly admitted he was wrong. If a man with his understanding of Doctrine can be so very wrong about something so very important, I will not claim to know what changes the future will bring to the LDS Church.

A letter from Mrs. Guardisto speaks at length about the cities of refuge which will be built in the Rockies. She speaks of a group of people coming from the far east who are like the Mormons. Could this refer to the Tibetan monks? This group will seek refuge among the Rockies, and it will be granted. This much is certain. The LDS Church will never force anyone to convert. Individuals may try to force others, but the Doctrine of the LDS Church clearly shows those converted against their will are not converted at all. So, when we go to help the Lamanites build the city of Zion, will you reject the help of others because they were never members of the LDS Church?
