“The Lord Called His People Zion”
Come, Follow Me Study Guide | February 2-8
Reading: Moses 7
Moses 7 records Enoch’s vision of a society transformed by righteousness and devotion to God, offering a concrete example of what covenant living can produce. Their experience reflects a shared desire among God’s people across generations to build communities defined by peace, unity, and faithfulness centered on Jesus Christ.
This chapter teaches that Zion is not achieved through ideal circumstances but through hearts and relationships shaped by obedience, covenant loyalty, and shared purpose.

Setting the Stage for Your Come, Follow Me Study
This section of the study guide aims to provide a deeper understanding of the circumstances surrounding the revelation or scripture being studied. By exploring the events, challenges, and background of the time, this section helps readers appreciate the significance of the teachings and how they apply to our lives today.
The vision of Enoch was revealed during Joseph Smith’s inspired translation of the Bible, a period marked by expanding understanding of God’s plan for His people. As early Church members sought to gather, covenant, and live according to divine law, the account of Enoch provided a powerful framework for understanding what the Lord expected of a Zion people.
Enoch’s Zion existed in direct contrast to the surrounding world, which was characterized by violence, corruption, and widespread rejection of God. This contrast emphasized that Zion requires intentional separation from destructive patterns and wholehearted allegiance to Jesus Christ, even when righteousness places God’s people at odds with prevailing culture.
