Jesus Prince of Peace by Danny Hahlbohm
“And the Lord will create upon
every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke
by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory
shall be a defence.
“And there shall be a tabernacle
for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a
covert from storm and from rain.”
(Isaiah 4:5,6)
Elder Orson Pratt suggested that
the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy would be literal:
“The time is to come when God
will meet with all the congregation of his Saints, and to show his approval,
and that he does love them, he will work a miracle by covering them in the
cloud of his glory. I do not mean something that is invisible, but I mean that
same order of things which once existed on the earth so far as the tabernacle
of Moses was concerned, which was carried in the midst of the children of
Israel as they journeyed in the wilderness….But in the latter days there will
be people so pure in Mount Zion, with a house established upon the tops of the
mountains, that God will manifest himself, not only in their Temple and upon
all their assembles, with a visible cloud during the day, but when the night
shall come, if they shall be assembled for worship, God will meet with them by
his pillar of fire; and when they retire to their habitations, behold each
habitation will be lighted up by the glory of God, - a pillar of flaming fire
by night.
“Did you ever hear of any city
that was thus favoured and blessed since the day that Isaiah delivered this
prophecy? No, it is a latter-day work, one that God must consummate in the
latter times when he begins to reveal himself, and show forth his power among
the nations.” (In Journal of
Discourses, 16:82)
It’s the time worth waiting for…..
