Why Zion Fell and The Saints Were Driven Out | Church History Matters with Scott & Casey | Sep 8-14

Scott and Casey examine the reasons behind the Saints’ expulsion from Jackson County, Missouri, and the Lord’s explanation in Doctrine and Covenants 101. It explains that while mob violence and local hostility were direct causes, the Lord revealed that Zion fell because of internal failings among the Saints—contention, envy, disobedience, and failure to fully live the law of consecration. The discussion emphasizes that this chastening was not a rejection but a call to repentance and preparation for Zion’s eventual redemption.
