Jerusalem

Vision of Jacob described. He is informed that Bethel is not to be the place where God's temple is to be built. In part of the vision he seems to see the future Jerusalem.
During the first year of the reign of Zedekiah, prophets appeared declaring that the people needed to repent or Jerusalem would be destroyed.
20) And behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias, and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah, (Jeremiah being that same prophet who testified of the destruction of Jerusalem) and now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed according to the words of Jeremiah. O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy?
21) And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was destroyed? Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain, all except it were Mulek? Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us, and they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem? But behold, this is not all—
22) Our father Lehi was driven out of Jerusalem because he testified of these things. Nephi also testified of these things, and also almost all of our fathers, even down to this time; yea, they have testified of the coming of Christ, and have looked forward, and have rejoiced in his day which is to come.
15) Yea, a small record of that which hath taken place from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem, even down until the present time.
20) I am Mormon, and a pure descendant of Lehi. I have reason to bless my God and my Savior Jesus Christ, that he brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem, (and no one knew it save it were himself and those whom he brought out of that land) and that he hath given me and my people so much knowledge unto the salvation of our souls.
Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a remnant of the seed of Joseph. And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem?

Notes

Jerusalem means "New Salem", or "New Peace", but also possibly something like "New Completion", or "New Wholeness". See: Hebrew/roots/shin-lamed-mem
