"As the Saints gathered in Kirtland, many false newspaper accounts and rumors misrepresented and maligned the Church. In the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 45, the Lord began revealing details about a designated gathering place of peace and safety in the last days that had been promised in the Book of Mormon and first mentioned in an 1830 revelation. The Lord described details about this land of gathering, known as the New Jerusalem, or Zion. The Lord also directed Joseph Smith to begin focusing his Bible translation efforts on the New Testament in order to prepare the Saints for things to come."
