What is priesthood? I don't know if there's a more difficult question in the church today.

You can speak with authority because the Lord has placed authority upon you.

Critics of the church will look at this and call it a failed prophecy because the city of Zion and its temples have not been built yet.

And are we going to build exactly what they were planning
