It is not about the death or requires the symbol of a cross to the LDS community for keeping the members in remembrance, but what is at the core of the Plan of Salvation or the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the atonement. Not even the garden is as important of overriding the act itself. The act itself is sufficient and only thing we need to be filled with gratitude and anchored to our soul. Listen to what the Prophet Joseph Smith stated what the "CROSS" really meant to the earlier Saints of that era: Martyrdom is not an essential condition precedent to the attainment of eternal life. Men are judged according to their desires and the intents of their hearts as well as their works. Even though the dispensation of the meridian of time was one of martyrdom and slaughter of the saints, there were many who were able to escape these things. Through obedience to the gospel standards, their guarantee of attaining eternal life is equal to that of those who laid down their lives, because those who escaped the sword would have submitted to it rather than deny or forsake the gospel cause. In this latter-day dispensation relatively few have been called upon to lay down their lives in the gospel cause, but all saints are expected to be willing to do so if the necessity is laid upon them. (DNTC 1:394) Daniel Ludlow research out the term “CROSS” many years ago and wrote explanatory answer for this usage: 16:24 The term take up your cross is found in both ancient and modern scripture, including at least three references in the Doctrine and Covenants (23:6; 56:2; 112:12). In Matthew 16:24 the Savior says, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." The Inspired Version of the Bible provides the meaning of this term as given by Jesus Christ himself: "And now for a man to take up his cross, is to deny himself all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep my commandments." (Matt. 16:25-26.) The meaning of this term is also clarified in other scriptures. For example, the Lord in 3 Nephi 12:30 states: "It is better that ye should deny yourself of these things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than that ye should be cast into hell." Each person has areas of weakness where he or she must strive diligently to overcome that weakness and turn it into a strength. The term "take up your cross" has to do with this strengthening process by denying yourself "all ungodliness" and by keeping the commandments of God. (CSDC, pp. 56-57.) And now for a man to take up his cross, is to deny himself all ungodliness, and every worldly lust, and keep my commandments. (JST; italics added.) 16:25-26 Break not my commandments for to save your lives; for whosoever will save his life in this world, shall lose it in the world to come.And whosoever will lose his life in this world, for my sake, shall find it in the world to come. Therefore, forsake the world, and save your souls; for what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (JST; italics added.) What value is to be placed on a human soul? How can we determine its worth? Two things will give some indication of the priceless value of the souls of men: (1) What these souls have cost up to this point—the labor, material and struggle that has gone into their creation and development; and (2) The effective use to which they can be put—the benefits that result when souls fill the full measure of their creation and take their rightful place in the eternal scheme of things. To use these standards of judgment it is necessary to view human souls in their relationship to the eternal plan of creation, progression, and salvation. Souls had their beginning, as conscious identities, when they were born as the spirit offspring of Deity. There then followed an infinitely long period of training, schooling, and preparation, so that these spirits might go on and attain their exaltation. "God himself," as the Prophet Joseph Smith expressed it, "finding he was in the midst of spirits and glory, because he was more intelligent, saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest could have a privilege to advance like himself." (Teachings, p. 354.) As part of this schooling process this earth was created; spirits were given temporal bodies; gospel dispensations were vouchsafed to men; prophets were sent forth to labor and preach; oftentimes they were persecuted, tormented, and slain; and even the Son of God taught and served among mortals, climaxing his ministry by suffering beyond mortal endurance in working out the infinite and eternal atonement. All this is included in the price already paid toward the purchase of human souls. Such of these souls as keep all the commandments shall attain eternal life. They shall go on to exaltation and glory in all things, becoming like the Father, begetting spirit offspring, creating worlds without number, and forever and endlessly rolling forth the eternal purposes of the Infinite God. (DNTC 1:393.) (Companion to Your Study of the New Testament: The Four Gospels, by Daniel H. Ludlow, p.122-123)

Tidbit: climate changes or not, the earth is a preparation stage to return to its paradiscal glory - terrestrial state. This has nothing to do with human intervention or industrialization. I could remove all human inhabitants and its technology, it will still be preparing for this state. Another issue, even our own bodies or those who have the opportunity to live in this state, will also under go a dramatic change to be able to withstand the environmental conditions associated with the new changes. Yes! I know science have no belief in this principle, but it doesn’t matter one way or another, when in the end science itself will be corrected.

August 2, 1833— Kirtland, Ohio. Joseph Smith received D&C 97, a revelation about the Saints in Jackson County, Missouri, who were suffering great persecutions. (History of the Church, 1:400–2) Historical Setting: Parley P. Pratt – In the latter part of summer and in the autumn [1833], I devoted almost my entire time in ministering among the churches; holding meetings; visiting the sick; comforting the afflicted, and giving counsel. A school of Elders was also organized, over which I was called to preside. This class, to the number of about sixty, met for instruction once a week. The place of meeting was in the open air, under some tall trees, in a retired place in the wilderness, where we prayed, preached and prophesied and exercised ourselves in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Here great blessings were poured out, and many great and marvelous things were manifested and taught. The Lord gave me great wisdom, and enabled me to teach and edify the Elders, and comfort and encourage them in their preparations for the great work which lay before us. I was also much edified and strengthened. To attend this school I had to travel on foot, and sometimes with bare feet at that, about six miles. This I did once a week, besides visiting and preaching in five or six branches a week. (Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, 1950, pp. 93-94.) The revelation [sec. 97] was not complied with by the leaders and Church in Missouri, as a whole; notwithstanding many were humble and faithful. Therefore, the threatened judgment was poured out to the uttermost, as the history of the five following years will show. (Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt,1950, p. 96.) Joseph Smith, Jun. - On the second day of August 1833, the Prophet received a revelation [Kirtland, Ohio] concerning Zion. While he was aware of the fact that trouble was brewing in Jackson County and the spirit of opposition was very great he did not know that the mob had risen and had destroyed and violently handled some of the brethren.(CHMR,1948, 2:189) Background Narration: Hyrum Smith: In Kirtland, the work on the Temple had commenced. On the 5th of June, 1833, George A. Smith hauled the first load of stone for that sacred building... On the 25th of June 1833, the First Presidency sent letters of instruction to William W. Phelps, Edward Partridge, and the brethren in Zion, and enclosed plans for the future city of Zion and its temples… In the month of July, however, a mob in Jackson County, led by a Rev. Pixley, began to move against the Saints. On the 20th of July, the mass meeting convened. Inflamed by falsehood strewn broadcast by religious fanatics and political office-seekers, the meeting demanded the discontinuance of the printing office, the closing of the store, and the cessation of all mechanical labor. When the brethren refused to comply with this law-defying dictum, the mob broke down the printing establishment, seized Edward Partridge and Charles Allen, daubed them with tar from head to foot and covered them with feathers, on the public square. Others were frightened from their homes by threats and yells. On the 23rd, the very same day on which the corner stones of the Kirtland Temple were laid, the brethren in Missouri, in order to prevent bloodshed, signed an agreement with the mob leaders to leave the country before the 1st of April, 1834. The brethren immediately sent Oliver Cowdery to Kirtland to report to the First Presidency. He arrived there early in September, 1833. The Revelation in Sec. 97 was received before the arrival in Kirtland of Oliver Cowdery, and, consequently, before the Prophet knew any particulars of the storm of persecution that raged in the land of Zion. (DCC, pp. 608-609) Joseph Fielding Smith "On the second day of August 1833, the Prophet received a revelation concerning Zion. While he was aware of the fact that trouble was brewing in Jackson County and the spirit of opposition was very great he did not know that the mob had risen and had destroyed property and violently handled some of the brethren. In this revelation the Lord said that he desired to make known his will concerning the brethren in Zion. Many of them had truly humbled themselves and were seeking wisdom. Because of their repentance they would be blessed, for the Lord was merciful to the meek, and all who will not humble themselves will be brought to judgment." (Joseph Fielding Smith, CHMR 1:430) Dean Garrett, Stephen E. Robinson Almost no information concerning the reception of Doctrine and Covenants 97 is found in Joseph Smith's History of the Church. However, in a letter dated 6 August 1833, Joseph wrote to "Beloved Brethren" in Missouri and included with that letter copies of Doctrine and Covenants 94, 97, and 98. In Joseph's letter to Missouri, the date of Doctrine and Covenants 97 is given as August 1833. Exactly one month earlier, on 2 July 1833, Joseph had noted in another letter to Missouri that he had finished his translation of the Bible (Joseph Smith Translation, or JST), although he continued to make adjustments to the manuscript after that time. In Kirtland, Joseph was greatly relieved that the Joseph Smith Translation had been completed and took some time to rejoice and relax. Nevertheless, a little more than two weeks after completion of that manuscript, and less than two weeks before Doctrine and Covenants 97 was received, the ax of disaster was to fall on the Church in Missouri (see v. 7). By the time Doctrine and Covenants 97 was received, the Church had had a presence in Independence, Missouri, for about two years. While little more than one hundred Saints remained behind in Kirtland, the number of Latter-day Saints in Independence and the surrounding country rose from zero to around one thousand members, or about 25 percent of the total population, in that same period of time. These rapidly rising numbers and the public designation of Independence as "the city of Zion" (D&C 57:2) and a gathering place for an ever-increasing number of Saints (see D&C 57:1) caused great alarm among the non–Latter-day Saint population there. Fearing to become eventually a religious, political, or economic minority in a Latter-day Saint majority, the original settlers of Jackson County banded together in a "secret combination" with the stated intention of driving the Mormons from their society "peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must." Hundreds of these earlier settlers of Jackson County, including judges, constables, and justices of the peace, signed a document stating the mob's illegal agenda for the expulsion of the Saints and setting 20 July 1833 as the day for the mob to gather to achieve that end. On 20 July, leaders of the mob delivered their demands to Church leaders in Independence, who were caught somewhat off guard. When the Saints understandably refused to leave the county immediately, the mob, variously estimated at three hundred to five hundred men, descended upon the Latter-day Saint printing office and destroyed the press, together with most copies of the 1833 Book of Commandments, which was then being printed. Some copies of the printed text were bravely rescued by two teenaged sisters. The mob also demolished the brick home of W. W. Phelps, in which the press was located. They then ransacked the Gilbert and Whitney store and tarred and feathered Bishop Edward Partridge and Charles Allen. Temporary peace was restored on 23 July when several leading Church members, under threat of violence from the mob, signed an agreement to leave Jackson County by 1 January 1834. In the meantime, the Saints in Missouri sent word to Joseph Smith in Kirtland requesting his aid and instructions. Oliver Cowdery, the special messenger, left Missouri on 25 or 26 July 1833. (Oliver signed the agreement with the mob on 23 July and left Missouri two or three days thereafter). It is possible that Joseph Smith learned of anti-Mormon feelings in Missouri from a now-lost letter from Oliver Cowdery dated 9 July 1833. Receipt of such a letter is mentioned by Joseph in his 6 August letter to Missouri. Yet Joseph makes no allusion in that letter to persecutions in Missouri. While there had been anti-Mormon feelings in Jackson County for some time, the immediate catalyst for mob action there had been an article in the July issue of The Evening and the Morning Star entitled "Free People of Color," which was distorted by non-Mormons who claimed falsely that the Saints were "tampering with [their] slaves." When the Saints in Missouri realized what the reaction to the article had been, they immediately published an "extra" edition of the Star, dated 16 July, to set the record straight. But this is a full week after Oliver's 9 July letter to Joseph, so Oliver may not have known the true mood of his non-LDS neighbors on 9 July. Even if Oliver had written about trouble brewing in Missouri, it was humanly impossible for Joseph Smith to have known about the mob activities of 20–23 July by 2 August when Doctrine and Covenants 97 was received, or even by 6 August, when Doctrine and Covenants 98 was received and sections 94, 97, and 98 were sent to Missouri. Joseph first learned of these events when Oliver arrived in Kirtland from Missouri sometime in mid-August (the Painesville Telegraph stated in its 16 August edition that Oliver had just arrived in Kirtland). Nevertheless, Doctrine and Covenants 97 and 98 already contained exactly the divine counsel and instructions the Missouri Saints were seeking in their perilous circumstances. In other words, the answers were sent to Missouri before the questions were received in Kirtland. If the body of the Saints were to remain in Missouri, it was critical that they should receive, hear, and obey these revelations. (A Commentary on the Doctrine and Covenants, Vol. 3, by H. Dean Garrett, Stephen E. Robinson) Section Header Notes: Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, August 2, 1833. HC 1: 400–402. This revelation deals particularly with the affairs of the saints in Zion, Jackson County, Missouri, in response to the Prophet’s inquiry of the Lord for information. Members of the Church in Missouri were at this time subjected to severe persecution, and on July 23, 1833, had been forced to sign an agreement to leave Jackson County. 1–2, Many of the saints in Zion (Jackson County, Missouri) are blessed for their faithfulness; 3–5, Parley P. Pratt is commended for his labors in the school in Zion; 6–9, Those who observe their covenants are accepted by the Lord; 10–17, A house is to be built in Zion in which the pure in heart shall see God; 18–21, Zion is the pure in heart; 22–28, Zion shall escape the Lord’s scourge if she is faithful. Versus amount: 28 Suggested link: D&C 59, 84, 94, 95, & 98 Summary and Conclusion: The principle of obedience is stressed by the Lord in this revelation. The key to Zion's future, salvation, and prosperity was and is this first law of heaven. When saints are obedient in erecting and properly using temples of the Lord, they have the assurance of having the power of the Lord in their midst.

August 1, 1831— Jackson County, Missouri. Joseph Smith received D&C 58, a revelation concerning the Saints in their new place of gathering. (History of the Church, 1:191–95) Historical Setting: B.H. Roberts - These promises to the Saints respecting Zion; these descriptions given to them of her future sanctified and glorified state; their connection with a work so exalted and far-reaching, was apt to fire their minds with a zeal not always tempered with wisdom. It was in vain that limitations of time and conditions were placed upon these general descriptions of the future greatness and glory of the city of God; nor could they understand that their own relationship to these great things was merely to lay the foundation of them, to locate the site of the future city and temple, and then bear witness of it to the world. Yet that their work in connection with the founding of Zion was chiefly this, is clearly to be seen in the revelations of God to them. The immediate and triumphant establishment of Zion, though expected by many of the Saints, was nowhere contemplated in the revelations of God to the Church. That hope of immediate establishment and glorification of Zion was the result of faulty deductions from the revelations of God; but the Lord was not blind respecting the events about to take place on the land of Zion, nor did He hold out any false hope to His people had they but read His revelations aright. A few days before the first conference held by the Elders on the land of Zion, the Lord said to them through His Prophet:

No problem...I am the same way. I expect people to read between the lines and my mind in posting my thoughts. Here is the full account on what Joseph Smith stated (based on your reference): I shall comment on the very first Hebrew word in the Bible; I will make a comment on the very first sentence of the history of the creation in the Bible—Berosheit</B>. I want to analyze the word. Baith—in, by, through, and everything else. Rosh—the head. Sheit—grammatical termination. When the inspired man wrote it, he did not put the baith there. An old Jew without any authority added the word; he thought it too bad to begin to talk about the head! It read first, "The head one of the Gods brought forth the Gods." That is the true meaning of the words. Baurau signifies to bring forth. If you do not believe it, you do not believe the learned man of God. Learned men can teach you no more than what I have told you. Thus the head God brought forth the Gods in the grand council. I will transpose and simplify it in the English language. Oh, ye lawyers, ye doctors, and ye priests, who have persecuted me, I want to let you know that the Holy Ghost knows something as well as you do. The head God called together the Gods and sat in grand council to bring forth the world. The grand councilors sat at the head in yonder heavens and contemplated the creation of the worlds which were created at the time. When I say doctors and lawyers, I mean the doctors and lawyers of the Scriptures. I have done so hitherto without explanation, to let the lawyers flutter and everybody laugh at them. Some learned doctors might take a notion to say the Scriptures say thus and so; and we might believe the Scriptures; they are not to be altered. But I am going to show you an error in them. I have an old edition of the New Testament in the Latin, Hebrew, German and Greek languages. I have been reading the German, and find it to be the most [nearly] correct translation, and to correspond nearest to the revelations which God has given to me for the last fourteen years. It tells about Jacobus, the son of Zebedee. It means Jacob. In the English New Testament it is translated James. Now, if Jacob had the keys, you might talk about James through all eternity and never get the keys. In the 21st of the fourth chapter of Matthew, my old German edition gives the word Jacob instead of James. The doctors (I mean doctors of law, not physic) say, "If you preach anything not according to the Bible, we will cry treason." How can we escape the damnation of hell, except God be with us and reveal to us? Men bind us with chains. The Latin says Jacobus, which means Jacob; the Hebrew says Jacob, the Greek says Jacob and the German says Jacob; here we have the testimony of four against one. I thank God that I have got this old book; but I thank him more for the gift of the Holy Ghost. I have got the oldest book in the world; but I [also] have the oldest book in my heart, even the gift of the Holy Ghost. I have all the four Testaments. Come here, ye learned men, and read, if you can. I should not have introduced this testimony, were it not to back up the word rosh - the head, the Father of the Gods. I should not have brought it up, only to show that I am right. In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it. When we begin to learn this way, we begin to learn the only true God, and what kind of a being we have got to worship. Having a knowledge of God, we begin to know how to approach him, and how to ask so as to receive an answer. When we understand the character of God, and know how to come to him, he begins to unfold the heavens to us, and to tell us all about it. When we are ready to come to him, he is ready to come to us... (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, P.348-349) The head GOD is Heavenly Father. The council of the GODs (inner council) was Jehovah , and the Holy Ghost.

Do you have a verse? --------------------------- (late edit) Do you mean this one? "And they (the Gods)..." [chapter 4] Comparable to Moses chapter 2 where Moses talking about Lord GOD is speaking, which is the FATHER. GOD the FATHER + Jesus the Christ + Michael References: We believe in a Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Who else would have participated in the creation?" (Mark E. Petersen, Abraham, Friend of God, pp. 144-45.) "It is true that Adam helped to form this earth. He labored with our Savior Jesus Christ. I have a strong view or conviction that there were others also who assisted them. Perhaps Noah and Enoch; and why not Joseph Smith, and those who were appointed to be rulers before the earth was formed? We know that Jesus our Savior was a Spirit when this great work was done. He did all of these mighty works before he tabernacled in the flesh." (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, 1:74-75.) "Gods, even the sons of God, will be ordained to organize matter. How much matter do you suppose there is between here and some of the fixed stars which we can see? Enough to frame many, very many millions of such earths as this, yet it is now so diffused, clear and pure, that we look through it and behold the stars. Yet the matter is there. Can you form any conception of this? Can you form any idea of the minuteness of matter?" (Brigham Young, in Journal of Discourses, 15:137.) "A General Assembly, Quorum or Grand Council of the Gods, with their President at their head, constitute the designing and creating power." (Parley P. Pratt, Key to the Science of Theology, p. 51.) "In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods: and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it." (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 349.)

Abraham is defining progression of intelligences. I suspect also, either he was not shown from what previous stage we were created from or he did know and it is not given to the world or the church at this time. It is also illustrates that GOD cannot manufacture matter since it was before HIM – meaning – it is eternal to HIM and us. What is written and not clear enough to gain any edification, we were also with GOD from the beginning. There are many different interruptions to this statement. We do know that our known universe has a core, where all matter therein orbits around it, whether in a contractual or expansion state. As we do know, even Kolob, our governance abode for time, is either a terrestrial sphere or some here would call it a celestial sphere. It is still resides on time. Perhaps, not with our telestial world but with GOD. Even if GOD’s own abode may have a rotation pattern, this is a form of measurement or time if there is a higher sphere. It maybe considered a period of time we cannot even fathom but still a measurement for HIM or those who reside above HIM. [Knowledge] Exactly...I believe, even in post mortal life, based on what kingdom and glory, you will still not receive specific information. The only exception would be those who will inherit the highest glory of the Celestial Kingdom where knowledge is power and the power of GOD (see D&C 93) is perfect and complete knowledge of HIS realm. I do concur; eternal by our own understanding is a timeless measurement.
