3a	D&C 101: 18. 18 They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and come to their ^ainheritances, they and their children, with ^bsongs of everlasting joy, to ^cbuild up the waste places of Zion— D&C 103: 11. 11 But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren which have been scattered shall return to the ^alands of their inheritances, and shall ^bbuild up the waste places of Zion.
b	D&C 57: 3. 3 And thus saith the Lord your God, if you will receive wisdom here is wisdom. Behold, the place which is now called Independence is the ^acenter place; and a spot for the ^btemple is lying westward, upon a lot which is not far from the courthouse. D&C 58: 57. 57 And let my servant Sidney Rigdon ^aconsecrate and ^bdedicate this land, and the spot for the ^ctemple, unto the Lord. D&C 97: 10 (10-20) 10 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that a ^ahouse should be built unto me in the land of Zion, like unto the ^bpattern which I have given you. D&C 124: 51 (49-51) 51 Therefore, for this cause have I accepted the offerings of those whom I commanded to build up a city and a ^ahouse unto my name, in Jackson county, Missouri, and were hindered by their enemies, saith the Lord your God.
c	D&C 52: 2. 2 Saying: I, the Lord, will make known unto you what I will that ye shall do from this time until the next conference, which shall be held in Missouri, upon the ^aland which I will ^bconsecrate unto my people, which are a ^cremnant of Jacob, and those who are heirs according to the ^dcovenant. HC 1: 199.
