The 12 will be called to defend the church – prevented from meeting

“When our brethren in the Quorum of the 12 shall be called to the courts of Washington to give an account of the position of the Latter Day Saints…the world will be in commotion and the Lord will have something to work upon. It will be after this when our Savior and others will make their appearance on the earth among the Latter Day Saints.” – Brigham Young (Recorded in a letter from Amanda H. Wilcox to Susie Young Gates, March, 11, 1904; Historical Dept. of the Church) ———————— “The time will come when the government will stop the saints from holding meetings. When this is done the Lord will pour out his judgments.” – Heber C. Kimball ((Orson Ferguson Whitney, “Life of Heber C. Kimball: An Apostle, the Father and Founder of the British Mission”, (Salt Lake City, Utah: The Kimball Family, 1888), 452-453)
