The Mountains Like As of a Great People

K. Douglas Bassett

(Isa. 13:4)

This has reference to gathering of the Saints in the Rocky Mountains. On 6 August 1842, Joseph Smith prophesied that some of the Saints would “live to go and assist in making settlements and build cities and see the saints become a mighty people in the midst of the Rocky Mountains.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 255; emphasis added.)
