Where in America will Jesus appear according to LDS (Mormon) church teachings?

Do they teach that during the millenium he will come to the US state of Missouri, and reign in a city called New Jerusalem which will be located there?

Update:

According to LDS church sources, Joseph Smith taught that Zion was America, its center was Jackson County, Missouri and that New Jerusalem was Independence, Missouri. Later prophets of the church have rescinded that revelation of Joseph's, saying Joseph Smith was mistaken or wrong. Several LDS prophets have claimed it to be Salt Lake City, Utah, while others claimed not to know where it would be, then still others claimed that LDS scholars did not know, or, maybe it might be in Israel, who knows? Thank you, LDS.org.

    even if Romney - Ryan declare that "Jerusalem" is the official capital of Israel -- the "Mount of Olives" is still away from the walled Old City of Jerusalem

    Maybe the Second Coming that Romney is certain will be happening during his 4 year term of office (1600 Pennsylvania Ave., D.C.) will include some surprises to those fundamentalistic and super-dogmatic types who know the LDS Scriptures and the Christian Bible (66 books) backward and forward

    You will need to cite where any LDS prophets have rescinded those things you say they have; none ever has suggested anything different than Joseph Smith said on those particular topics, to the best of my knowledge. While Salt Lake City is presently the headquarters of the Church, Jackson County has never been dropped from our expectations.

    The scriptures say that the Lord will come to the Temple Lot @ River and Walnut Streets in Independence , Missouri . This Lord is the same person as that Servant of Isaiah 52 & III Nephi , as well as that Elijah ( Elias ) of Malachi 3&4 ( but not that John of John 1:21 ) . For , according to Mat. 22:41-46 there are 2 Lords ; Where Jesus quoted David's saying : " The Lord said to my Lord ; Sit thou on my right side until I make thine enemies My footstool . " It is the Father , God who is coming to redeem this Zion in the Americas ; And then , after the Father has fully put Jesus' enemies under His footstool , Jesus will be able to bring his Kingdom of Paradise over the Mount Of Olives in Jerusalem ; And prepare them for up to 1000 years so that they will be able to handle his Father's much brighter presence ; Or else they will have to partake of the Second Death . And then in Daniel 7 it mentions that ( possibly ) the 2 Witnesses ( after they are resurrected ) will bring Jesus to the Ancient Of Days ( God , the Father ) here .

    The e book of Mormon is a marvelous e book. One has to study it to have confidence it. Joseph Smith became shown in a innovative and prescient the place it lay buried, and given the potential to translate it. the approach took months, and quite a few different scribes have been employed, and witnessed the interpretation technique. Joseph on no account had lots as a splash paper, and translated the comprehensive ingredient from start to end with out ever dropping his place, or going lower back over any passage. while the interpretation became comprehensive, 3 men have been promised that they might see the gold plates and meet the angel Moroni. David Whitmer, Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris have been chosen to be witnesses, and did see the e book of Mormon, and the angel Moroni, and heard the voice of God declare the interpretation to be maximum strategies-blowing. Their testimony could nicely be got here upon interior the front of the e book of Mormon. Others additionally testified to seeing the gold plates and the angel Moroni. besides the reality that many interior the Christian international are loathe to settle for extra scripture, many do have confidence that the e book of Mormon is real scripture written by using historic prophets. approximately 0.5 of the person club of the LDS church are converts from different church homes. Like I suggested earlier, one has to study it to have confidence it. We invite human beings to study the e book of Mormon, and then ask God no count if it is authentic. God will answer the user-friendly prayer.

    We know that He will come suddenly to His temple. I don't know which temple that refers to. We know that He will come to Adam-Ondi-Ahman to eat with Adam, the Ancient of Days, and all the leaders of all the dispensations since the days of Adam to the present. This visit will precede the second coming on the Mount of Olives. Christ will come to the Mount of Olives at the seige of Jerusalem to liberate the Jews from the battle of Armegeddon. There will be a new temple in Jerusalem as well as a new temple in Zion, here in America. Neither of those two things have happened yet.

    The law will go forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem.

    So there will be many visits and I don't know which is first or where it will be.

    By saying the rosary carefully every day, a person can know for certain God exists and the Catholic Faith is the True Faith.

    The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:

    1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

    2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

    3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

    4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lead them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

    5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

    6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune.

    7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

    8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.

    9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

    10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

    11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

    12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

    13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.
