I think we can open these windows up ourselves. We need to be building Zion now, not waiting for some new miracle to drop out of the sky to begin.
There is nothing stopping us from getting together and helping one another, from being of one heart and one mind, from seeing to it that there are no poor among us, from building up a socio-economic entity which frees us from the socio-economic bondage of the world.
We can do all of this right here and right now. We don't need to walk shoelessly behind a handcart to Jackson County Missouri as the moon falls from the sky and the sun turns to blood in order to accomplish it.

Here...here. We lost some much more, to include additional doctrines, principles, mysteries of the kingdom, that was not given or may of slipped at a funeral, where the early saints would of stoned him.
Some of which, we can learn for ourselves via the Holy Ghost or the Savior Himself but not for the church as a whole.
I'm all for it. Now, where's Enoch when you need him?
