The Almighty has established this kingdom with order and laws and every thing pertaining thereto
[so] that when the nations shall be convulsed, we may stand forth as saviours
and finally redeem a ruined world, not only in a religious but in a political point of view.
- Prophet John Taylor, Journal of Discourses, v. 9, p. 342, April 13, 1862
Taylor is important to the Mormons for several reasons one being he was with Joseph Smith in the jail in 1844 when Smith got himself killed by his Freemason brothers..
At the time Smith was running for POTUS ...to be president for life...
He had already crowned himself king of the world...
Interesting.
