During a journey to consecrate the waste places of Zion, Elder Lorin Farr prophesied that most of the company present would live until the coming of the Savior and stand on Zion's Hill at that time. Additionally, he predicted that significant changes and events would follow the prayer offered by President Joseph F. Smith upon the Hill Cumorah.
In Their Own Words
“Elder Lorin Farr, the most remarkable man on the trip, prophesied that most of that company would live till the coming of the Savior; and that they would stand on Zion's Hill at that great time and be among those who should see the Savior. He also predicted that great changes and events would follow the wondrous prayer offered upon Cumorah’s Hill. — The Young Woman's Journal 17:2”
