JOHN TAYLOR; BUILDING ZION

Got this off of FB:

Found this on another page: thank you Jesse F.!

...interestingly, President John Taylor spoke about building Zion in just about every opportunity he had to address the Saints. Actually, I surveyed every talk he gave while prophet, of which there is a record. He gave 80 talks, and mentions Zion in 78 of them! Specifically, he spoke of gathering to Zion, or building Zion, in exactly 81.25% of his talks. He often compared the Latter-Day Saints and their efforts to build ...Zion in Utah directly to Enoch's efforts to do the same. He also quite frequently quoted Jeremiah 3:14 where the ancient prophet foretold, “I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.” If John Taylor, as prophet, seer, and revelator spoke of the subject of gathering and building Zion 81.25% of the time, isn't it a safe to say that building Zion is a core LDS doctrine?
