Review of Dreams of Zion

This is a compilation of posts made by one of the parents over the years. 

​At the start of the Tribulation we have a very conservative president, almost a libertarian. Under this president leadership, Congress enacts laws that should have kick started the economy but doesn't because the population of the United States is too wicked. He holds the country together through the Days of Destruction and the first year of Tribulations. When he dies in office, that is when the call out happens and the US population goes crazy. He also said he knows we have some time because the technology was way more advanced then it is now.
Most people are sent to tent cities, but there is an exception. In California, people move to certain neighborhoods and communities. California becomes a self-enforced martial law against itself. It’s community lockdown. The Chinese neglect looking through these "communities of light" because of the martial state of California. They move farther inland instead, leaving most of California for future fighters.
Most people in Mesa, Arizona, move up to Flagstaff. Some stay maybe a little bit to tidy up records and the temple, but then go to Flagstaff. Queen Creek people stay there for a few months, but then are told that they must leave. Phoenix is evacuated by the righteous to Flagstaff. Flagstaff becomes one of the biggest tent city communities in the U.S. (Some people count it as the biggest, but Utah has many communities that are very close together.)
He saw that during the Days of Destruction, a three-month period before the Tribulation, that there were many earthquakes and Seattle became an island. The people of Seattle moved to the mainland. Many volcanoes went off and there were some tidal waves that destroyed the coastal cities. In a few months, I am sure he can provide more detail. I know that isn't comforting but remember the Twin Towers were safe on and before September 10th, 2001. If you are where the Lord wants you to be don't worry about it. The Lord will get you where you need to be when you need to be there. During the Days of Destruction, the Rocky Mountains will be the only safe place. Most people will leave the coast during this time.
DOZ was only told that the Chinese almost destroyed Australia during the thirteen-month war. The only other country I know about is England. England tries to defend us until the end but they get overwhelmed by their own problems.
I just know it is a large tent city and they have problems with the Russians when they come. Because of the New Madrid fault that starts going off in the beginning of the Tribulation, the Great Lakes become an inland sea.
When the call out is made, several months have passed since the second plague has ended. The second plague ends in late November early December. The call out happens in the Spring, March. People are amazed that they survived. There is an eerie, unsettled calm. The reason why many don't go on the call out is because they think they survived the plagues that they can survive a little bit longer. It seems to people that things are getting back to normal.

Businesses advertise for employees but no one applies and eventually these businesses close. Lots of people have inheritances to collect, they just think that the courts are back up and they just have to wait. Insurance companies do pay out life insurance payments to survivors. Also, some of the righteous will inherit food storage and other resources from relatives that died during the plagues.
The righteous uses this time to replenish their supplies. The stores were open during the plagues so most people are okay on food supplies. Those that used their food storage mostly depleted their cupboards, 3-month supplies, but long-term storage is still intact. The government kept a tight control on order during the first two plagues. People think this will continue but they are wrong.
As soon as the call out happens chaos breaks out. There will barely be three weeks to gather but you feel it in the air that you must gather as soon as possible. Most leave within the first week. The saints are called by the prophet. But the other righteous are called by dreams. They are amazed when they show up at the camps and they are set up by the saints. There will be other refugee camps set up but you don't want to go to those. They aren't as well thought out or as safe. Gangs from Mexico come up and take over Las Cruces, New Mexico, as well as many other border cities. The saints and other righteous do try to hide their evacuation but the wicked are aware that they are leaving. They just don't care. The wicked see opportunity all around them to loot, rob, rape, and get gain.
The enemy will know about some of our camps but they will be too busy with easy pickings to be concerned with our camps. They figure that after they are done with easy pickings they will come get us. Our camps will be very large, several hundred thousand. We also will have military people and government officials that bring resources from the city. They will know that they don't want to leave behind their resources for the mobs. We will have weapons and defenses against these mobs. Three weeks after the call out, the tent city will be sealed. It will be very difficult to leave or enter. Those left behind will be looting and fighting gangs and each other for resources. It will be hell and they won't care about us in the camps. Who is interested in a tent when you are living in a mansion and drinking champagne?

He saw some very nice tents and RVs in the center but towards the outside of the camps he saw tents that were tarps and whatever they could find to make structures. He was made to known that those that came first were in the center, safer and more comfortable. Those that came later were on the other layers. There was enough but barely. Food did last longer and they were able to stretch it. The camps were organized by captains of 10, 100, 1000, etc. Churches stayed in their own groups in the beginning. For the first few weeks everyone was leery of one another. Part of the wariness was the lingering feelings from the civil war and the other was the massive mob activity happening outside their boundaries. I will write more about the camps and cities of light later. Right now, I am just answering the question of food and the mobs.
He did see that everyone planted small gardens and that there were greenhouses in higher elevations. He also saw in the Tucson tent city that it rained almost every day the entire time the saints stayed in the city. That may have happened in all the camps. He said it would rain over the camp but not the city. Water wasn't a problem. The camps were very clean. A sanitation officer was one of the most important job in the camps.
He also saw that many refugee places were smaller in the beginning and consolidated the next year. For example, the Tucson tent city and Queen Creek groups all moved up to Flagstaff the end of the first year. It was necessary to consolidate because during the end of the first year the mobs were ready to take on the tent cities. They had used up all the resources of the cities and there was nothing left to steal from one another. Also, the invasion happened the end of the first year of tent cities. Some of the tent cities did have to defend themselves. I know Flagstaff successfully defeated the Chinese forces. The Great Lake camp was unsuccessful in defeating the Russians. A Colorado tent city completely destroyed the exiting Chinese army.
At the end of the third year of Tribulation everyone is surviving but barely. The Ten Tribes come and they are amazing farmers. We plant crops everywhere. It is tough until the new crops come in but we survive. At the end of the third year, the mobs and invading armies are gone. The righteous Americans number twelve million and the Ten Tribes number ten million. All together we will number twenty-two million. There are other groups that will return too. We will wait for the righteous to return from the rest of the world.

There was a third plague that hit the US after the call out. It may be manmade. It is the plague of the white spots. It sounds like smallpox to me. DOZ doesn't know if it is smallpox or not. It ravishes the mobs/gangs. It affects the tent cities in a very limited way. Probably because there is no almost coming or going out of the camps. The righteous that didn't leave society in the first three weeks aren't able to join the camps until they consolidate. Part of the decision may have to do with the concerns about diseases.
I probably should have explained what happened to grocery stores during the first year of Tribulations. As soon as the plague was discovered, and it wasn't discovered immediately, it started back east and wasn't discovered until it hit Indianapolis. The government imposed a $200 a day limit in the stores. I think $200 of groceries then isn't the same as it is now. Soldiers guarded the stores. You had a store worker take you through the store and the customer touched nothing. You pointed and a gloved/masked worker would pull the products. Home delivery become very popular. People did work and use social distancing. Many people were needed to dispose of bodies. Huge burning pits were set up outside of towns and cities. The first plague was really bad and everything shut down but it only last for two or three months. Some went back to work after that and worked during the second plague. The second plague was just strange. People got sick with strange diseases. This really was a plague of fear and the priesthood was widely used to heal. The Spanish flu (in 1918) was really bad but as soon as it burned out everything went back to normal. You have to work to eat, sad but true.

I think what most people don't understand is that the fact that the US survived the first two plagues, civil war, and Days of Destruction, makes most people feel like they can survive anything. Most people that survived thought they would die. Everyone lost someone, even in the church. The righteous are shocked so many of wicked survived. We accept the reality we are given. After the civil war news isn't widely known and during the Days of Destruction New York and Atlanta are destroyed, which ends 24-hour news cycles.
Here is the order:
1) Economic Instability leads to
2) Second Civil war (August)
3) Depression but prosperity for the righteous and some wicked. (Many millionaires were made during the depression but most people suffered.) This lasted several (more than two but not many) years. Great technologies are discovered during this time.
4) Missionaries are called home.
5) Days of Destruction (Jan-March) Massive Destruction all over the country
6) First year of Tribulation-first two plagues. First one hits in the spring-lasts several months. Next one hits in August-November.
7) Second year of Tribulation- Call out- spring (March). End of that year the invasion of Chinese and Russians. Thirteen-month war starts. Mob/Gangs rule! Worse guerilla warfare in the history of the world. Both sides take heavy casualties.
8) Third year of Tribulation- Invasion continues. Ten Tribes land and make their journey from the north. They wipe out gangs/mobs and later wipe out the Chinese on the way.
9) Ten Tribes meet saints in Salt Lake City. Turn over their records to prophet. Those that are called return to Missouri. Meet other righteous along the way back to Missouri.
