Future of the Mormon Church

On my mission we taught a girl who was studying at a divinity school. She was a smart, attractive younger woman (I'm guessing 25-28) who loved learning about the Old Testament in particular. She liked what we taught but would never actually attend church or truly study the scriptures.

Towards the end I just wanted to tell her that eventually it would be very clear that the LDS church was the true church. The church had progressed so much over the previous 30 years in Guatemala (and the world) and would continue to do so over the next 30 years, and that at a certain point sometime in the future, it would be obvious to her that the LDS church was indeed Christ's church and people on the earth.

God predicts this will happen in D.C. 105.

26Now, behold, I say unto you, my friends, in this way you may find favor in the eyes of the people, until the ^aarmy of Israel becomes very great.

31But first let my army become very great, and let it be^asanctified before me, that it may become fair as the sun, and clear as the ^bmoon, and that her banners may be terrible unto all nations;

32That the kingdoms of this world may be constrained to acknowledge that the kingdom of Zion is in very deed the^akingdom of our God and his Christ; therefore, let us become^bsubject unto her laws.

This is a section describing when Zion will be redeemed. The members of the church (in Missouri) were being persecuted in a substantial way, and 200 church members from Ohio made a trip to try to protect them. However, the Lord says in D.C. 105 that the time isn't yet for the "army of Israel" to deliver the people of Zion. However, the time would come that the army of the Lord would be very great and it would be obvious to "the kingdoms of this world" that Zion (the Church) is in very deed the kingdom of God and his Christ.

I believe this will happen. There has been tremendous growth and progress over the last 30 years, and there will be over the next 30 years, until the point comes that it will be obvious that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is absolutely the kingdom of God on the Earth. That day, the lady we taught will know that she made a mistake not taking our message more seriously.

Have a great day.
