150 years ago today - Jan 1, 1864

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] ... 1864 will be an Eventful year and so will all the following years untill the Coming of the savior. The Lord is watching over the interest of Zion and sustaining his kingdom upon the Earth and Preparing the way for the return of his Saints to Jackson County Mo to build up the waste places of Zion. Jackson County have been Entirely Cleared of its inhabitants during the year 1863 Which is one of the greatest miracles manifest in our day. And those who have driven the Saints out of Missouri & spoiled them are in there turn now driven out and spoiled and there is much distress throughout all the land whare the saints have been persecuted. And the judgments of God will Continue upon the whole Nation untill the Blood of the prophets is avenged.
