Revelation Dates: August 1831 Revelation Places: Jackson County, Missouri; Banks of the Missouri River; Kirtland Ohio Section 60 - Historical Background: After being in Jackson County, Missouri for only 3 weeks, Joseph Smith and other church leaders had accomplished much, including holding a church conference, the settlement of newly arriving saints, identified the site of the New Jerusalem and dedicated the new temple site, dedicated the land for the inheritance of the saints, and received several new revelations. Now, the Lord asks Joseph and the leaders of the church to return to Kirtland, Ohio. Recap: The leaders of the church are instructed to return to Kirtland, Ohio. They are reprimanded for not preaching the gospel on their journey from Kirtland, because of the fear of wicked men. They are commanded to preach along the journey back, some by St. Louis and others by Cincinnati. Don't idle away time nor bury your talents. Section 61 - Historical Background: As Joseph and 10 others returned to Kirtland, they travelled the Missouri River by canoe. Near tragedy struck on day 3 when one canoe capsized and Sidney Rigdon nearly drowned. W. W. Phelps witnessed the destroyer upon the waters while the others heard the awful, satanic noises but did not witness it with their eyes. This greatly troubled the group and Joseph sought counsel from the Lord. Recap: The brethren are chastened for trying to return home too swiftly rather than preaching along the way. Sidney Gilbert and WW Phelps are excused to return immediately home [so they can fulfil their calling to purchase a printing press and transfer it to Independence]. In these last days, the waters are cursed by John the Beloved, and the land is blessed by the Lord. The saints are to journey by land unless the canal is available. Be of good cheer, I am in your midst. Section 62 - Historical Background: On the journey to Cincinnati, Joseph met some of the Elders on their way to Independence which was joyous to everyone. Recap: The Lord is watching the elders on their trek to Zion and is pleased with their testimonies. They are to continue to Zion and then return home, preaching along the way. Section 63 - Historical Background: Upon the return to Kirtland, Joseph, Sidney Rigdon and Oliver Cowdery were immediately engulfed by many questions by the saints and new converts. Joseph inquired of the Lord regarding the purchase of lands and many other concerns and questions. Recap: The wicked and rebellious in the church must repent and become humble or will otherwise be destroyed. Seek not for signs, for they only come by faith. Those guilty of sexual sin must repent or will not be worthy of the Spirit and be destroyed. The obedient will have God's Spirit. The saints are to assemble in Zion, but not in haste lest the inhabitants there become overwhelmed. The Lord prophesies the persecution that will come and war and bloodshed. The Morley farm should be sold and the money sent to Zion. Whitney should keep his store in Kirtland for now. Glorious times are to come, yet the wicked will be plucked from the church. God will not be mocked.

Revelation Dates: August 1-7, 1831 Revelation Places: Jackson County, Missouri Section 58 - Historical Background: In a previous revelation, contained in section 57, the Lord set up the prospect for a Zion society. To achieve the promises from a Zion society the saints were required to achieve sufficient righteousness. However, the Lord knew what would ultimately happen and tried to prepare the saints for the trials and harsh reality that would soon come upon them. Joseph Smith had recently arrived in Jackson County and received this revelation. Recap: After many great tribulations come many great blessings. The saints are laying the foundation for a future Zion society. They must be loyal citizens and obey the laws of the land. Members of the Lord's church must be diligent and anxiously engaged in good, without being compelled or commanded in every detail. Several church leaders are counselled and reprimanded. The saints are commanded to raise the needed funds to purchase lands round about (which unfortunately was not sufficiently obeyed); otherwise there will be bloodshed. A temple spot will be dedicated. Section 59 - Historical Background: As the saints poured into Jackson County from Ohio and elsewhere, they were anxious for counsel from the Lord in the building of Zion. With the convenience of the Prophet Joseph, many had questions for the Lord that could have been answered directly from the scriptures. Recap: Faithful saints will be blessed by the Lord, whether in life or in death. Love the Lord by obeying His commandments. The Lord emphasizes obedience to basic commandments, with special emphasis on the Sabbath day. Obey with cheerfulness and a glad heart. Nothing offends God more than disobedience and not confessing God's hand in all things.

Revelation Dates: May – July 1831 Revelation Places: Ohio and Missouri Section 51 - Historical Background: As the many converts from New York came to Kirtland Ohio, Bishop Partridge had been assigned to organize and care for them according to the law of consecration, described in section 42. Needing assistance from the Lord, the bishop asked Joseph to seek further guidance from the Lord. Recap: The bishop is to appoint each family an appropriate portion of property according to his specific needs. Once appointed, a deed of ownership must be given him. A storehouse of money and goods should be kept by the bishop for the needs and wants of the people. Section 52 - Historical Background: A church conference was called in Kirtland which about 2,000 members attended. The events included ordaining several High Priests. During the conference, Joseph Smith rebuked evil spirits residing in 2 men. Recap: The next conference is announced to be held in Missouri, which must be consecrated for the faithful. 28 Elders are called on missions to Missouri, two by two. The Lord gives the pattern necessary to be a righteous missionary. Section 53 - Historical Background: After calling all the elders on missions in the previous section, Sidney Gilbert was not included. Hurt by this, Gilbert approached the Lord in prayer and then to Joseph for a revelation of what work he can do while the others went to Missouri. Recap: Sidney Gilbert's prayers have been heard. He is to forsake the world, become an Elder and preach repentance. He is to accompany Joseph Smith to Missouri. Section 54 - Historical Background: The saints from Colesville, New York contracted with Leman Copley to stay on his property. Copley was to consecrate his property to the church, but he apostatized and broke his covenant. Joseph sought counsel from the Lord. Recap: It would be better for those Saints who break covenants with the Lord to have been drowned in the sea. But those who honor their covenants will be rewarded. The saints are to flee Ohio and move to Missouri. Be patient in tribulation. Section 55 - Historical Background: William W. Phelps was converted through the Book of Mormon and sought a revelation from the Lord as to what work he should do. Recap: Phelps is commanded to be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost and be ordained an Elder to preach repentance. He is assigned to Missouri to assist Oliver Cowdery as printer. Section 56 - Historical Background: As Thomas B. Marsh was preparing to go to Missouri as commanded, his indolent companion, Ezra Thayre, was not enthusiastic. Joseph inquires what the Lord would have him do. Recap: Those who pretend to be saints but are rebellious will not be saved but will be cut off from the church. Marsh is given a new companion. All members are called to repentance. Section 57 - Historical Background: The focus of the saints was on gathering to Zion in Jackson County, Missouri. The town of Independence Missouri was a backward, frontier town of about 3,000 people. The Lord announces the place for Zion and the temple. Recap: The land of Missouri is appointed as the center place of Zion and the New Jerusalem. The exact place of the temple is appointed. The saints are to purchase all the regions of the land. Assignments are made to various church leaders. Speed is of the essence. Gathering saints will be granted land according to the law of consecration.

“[David Joy]is a man who sees his homeplace clearly and who writes like his hand was touched by God.” — The New York Times Novelist and essayist David Joy is a tall, lean and red-bearded denizen of the hollers, mountain tops and ridges of Jackson County, North Carolina. He is an obsessive turkey, deer and squirrel hunter, a fisherman who wrote his first published book on fly fishing but who is equally at home running live baits for big flathead catfish on Piedmont rivers. He is on the very short list of great American fiction writers and essayists who hunt and fish and speak for public lands and conservation as naturally as they breathe or write. This podcast was recorded at David's cabin near Little Canada, North Carolina, after a long hike in the Pisgah National Forest to scout new hunting country, in the good company of David's little feist dog, Edie Munster.

"Zion" refers to something that has multiple meanings: Zion can be a place, a people, and a state of heart. It signifies a perfect society, where God dwells with his people, they are united in love and righteousness, and share all things equally. A Place: Zion can be understood as a physical location, like the ancient city of Jerusalem or the New Jerusalem, which will be built in Jackson County, Missouri. A People: Zion also refers to the Lord's people who are of one heart and mind, dwelling in righteousness and sharing all things in common. A State of Heart: Zion is a spiritual quality, a unified society of Latter-day Saints, metaphorically gathered as members of the Church of Christ. A Divine Ideal: Zion represents an ideal society, a "city of holiness" where the Lord's people live in harmony, love, and righteousness. A Call to Action: Latter- day Saints are encouraged to "bring forth and establish the cause of Zion" by building unity, spiritual strength, and righteousness in their homes, communities, and the church. The concept of Zion emphasizes the importance of unity, love, and righteous living as the path to establishing a Zion-like society, both physically and spiritually.

She highlights various programs that were available throughout her work at the facility and how Jackson County Corrections (1300 Cherry St.) differs from the services MCI offered. Burnett and Williams discuss happenings within the Missouri State House in Jefferson city. This episode discusses a new electric facility from Evergy, which was approved by Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe, Farm Bureau health plans, current changes to 2024 general election ballot measure: Proposition A and a new caucasus within the Missouri House. Burnett additionally mentions vacant seats in several Ethics Commissions across the State. Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayala Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Charmed Life,” was released on April 25 and is now available on its streaming platforms. “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makalya Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

Veteran tower Jared Innis pulls back the curtain on the economic realities of the towing industry in this eye-opening conversation about survival in a challenging business landscape. With 31 years of experience and as president of the Missouri Tow Truck Association, Ennis offers a frank assessment of the issues threatening towing companies across America.The financial mathematics of towing simply don't add up for many operators. When insurance companies cap towing reimbursements at $5,000 while actual recovery costs for major truck accidents often exceed $50,000, who absorbs that difference? Innis reveals a startling statistic: between 30-40% of towed commercial vehicles are never reclaimed, leaving towing companies holding worthless damaged equipment after providing essential public safety services."We're seeing they have cargo only and liability on the truck and trailer, and we're getting trashed trucks and trailers," Innis explains. "It's become more of a challenge because you're getting paid for basically a third of the bill and getting stuck with junk."The conversation shifts to the legislative battles being fought in Missouri, where proposed regulations threaten to create a towing recovery review committee with just one tower among seven members who would have authority over billing disputes. Even more concerning, a provision would allow customers who dispute a bill to retrieve their vehicle without payment, effectively eliminating the tower's ability to secure compensation for services rendered.Locally, Kansas City faces its own crisis following allegations of "predatory towing" that have prompted reactionary ordinances. Jackson County's proposed regulations would charge towing companies $1,000 plus $250 per truck for licensing—ten times what surrounding counties charge—while implementing a punishment structure where a single violation by one driver could potentially shut down an entire company.Whether you're in the towing industry or simply rely on these essential services, this conversation offers valuable perspective on the challenges facing the businesses we count on to keep our roadways clear and safe.

They found the grizzled prospector's body slumped over a sample of ore on the floor of the rude log cabin he'd been staying in, deep in the wilderness of southern Oregon, late in the spring of 1897. He'd apparently dropped dead one evening while assaying out the samples he'd gathered that day – probably poisoned by some of the chemicals he was using. But this wasn't just any random gold prospector. This badly decomposed body was all that was mortal of the most famous prospector of the American West ‑ and certainly one of the richest and most successful: Ed Schieffelin, the man who discovered and named the Tombstone mine in Arizona. And by the time Ed's body was securely buried under a tall miner's cairn near Tombstone, the hills near that cabin were already alive with eager prospectors following up on the “lost gold mine” legends that sprang up following his death. At least one of those legends is still bringing hopeful prospectors out into the hills of Southern Oregon today.... (Near Jacksonville, Jackson County; 1897) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/20-03.ed-schieffelin-prospector-lost-gold-tales.html)

In this episode: Last week we talked with our friend Mark Dudney about the history of Jackson County and what brought us here today. Gainesboro is having a renaissance and it's impossible to talk about the future of Jackson County without the woman that helped start it all. When you opened the Bull and Thistle in 2013 did you have any idea this would create a chain reaction that would bring Gainesboro back to life? Like the rest of the Upper Cumberland, you have growing pains. More business. More restaurants. More people. More opportunities. More questions. For anyone that's asking - what's going on in Jackson County? What do you say? Change is scary. I know that's the understatement of the year, but it rings through this entire conversation and Jackson County. Change is scary.

In a 5-4 vote last year, Jackson County legislators approved a budget that was later vetoed by County Executive Frank White. Now more than three months into 2025, Jackson County has yet to pass a spending plan. Hear why the gridlock has led to a lawsuit and why some county services aren't being funded.

A year ago this month, Jackson County voters sent an emphatic message to the Royals and Chiefs: They didn't want their taxes to help pay for a new stadium for the Royals and improvements for the Chiefs. Since then, the teams have considered several options for their future homes but haven't landed on one. Their Truman Sports Complex lease is expiring in 2031. On SportsBeat KC, The Star's sports podcast, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian share their thoughts about where things stand, what concerns have arisen since the doomed vote and where the Royals and Chiefs may end up.

One of the most interesting and colorful Lost Cabin Gold Mine stories is the one told by frontier poet Sam Simpson, which supposedly took place in the hills south of Jacksonville in 1853. In this case, it's not a mine that's been lost — it's a vault: a small stone-lined crypt stuffed with millions of dollars' worth of freshly dug gold, and guarded by whatever remains of the skeletons of two long-dead men.

Join Kosta and his guest: Mark Dudney, Public Historian, Regional Planner, Producer, and Educator. In this episode:They say all press is good press. I'm going to ask you later in the episode if you think that's true, but for now I want to start with the question on everyone's mind: what do you do when white christian nationalists move in next door? Earlier this month you shared a touching testimonial about how you're feeling in this moment. As a native of Jackson County you spoke from the heart and for that, we're all grateful. This is a deeply polarizing and painful time for many Tennesseeans and to put it bluntly, it's scary to speak up. At what point did you decide there was no other choice? Jackson County isn't a blank page waiting for a story to be written on, in fact, the Gainesboro area has over a century of rich and diverse history that's helped shape the Upper Cumberland into what it is today.

   KC Business Leaders have made a commercial where they all support keeping the Royals and Chiefs anywhere in the region, a 180 change from the messaging the past three years.  It's ok to go to Kansas, they seem to be saying.  Just don't go to Tennessee.  We break down what this shift means for the Royals in Clay County, Missouri and if this is greasing the skids for the Chiefs to go to Kansas.    Jackson County pols are desperately trying to get County Exec Frank White out of office by threatening a recall.  They have the signatures, but shocker, they don't have the money to pay the firm that got them.  This is a wild story.    I have an AI demo for you today that's really entertaining as one man asked AI to make a country song about beer.  The Royals better find some bats fast.  Colorado football is doing the most embarrassing thing ever.  A sports app spoils hundreds of thousands from men that thought they won and you've got a hard choice the next time you go to Chipotle.
