Scripture says this about a Godly society: Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. Acts 4:34-35
And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them. Moses 7:18And Jesus said this about the poor: For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. Mark 14:7What if Jesus means more than we will always have the poor among us since the other scriptures speak of a Godly people who abolished poverty? What if He means our place is among them as His place in this life was to minister among them?Utah is making national headlines because we have nearly eliminated homelessness. If we can do that then we are very close to being able to eliminate poverty. At least in our state.But to do that we must also eliminate wealth and the ruling wealthy class can't have that. But that is exactly what a Zion people can and will do.We have yet to build up Zion but I believe it to be very much within our reach. We have lost our momentum in the restoration and we need to reboot it. We may not be lost but we can build Zion it is only our willingness that seems lacking.
