People of the Mormon Church Believe That When Jesus Returns, He Will Go Straight to the U.S.

Even though people of the Mormon faith exist all over the world, Mormonism remains deeply rooted on American soil. According to Mormon beliefs, Jesus Christ made a special trip to the Americas following his resurrection. He taught the indigenous peoples there, who Mormons believe were actually members of the Lost Tribes of Israel.

As Christianity allegedly veered off course, God sent the Angel Moroni to Joseph Smith, an ordinary man residing in Palmyra, New York, to reveal new scriptures. Among these revelations was the prophecy of Jesus Christ’s personal return to establish a heavenly kingdom on earth. Mormons hold that this divine headquarters will be situated at the Mormon temple in Jackson County, Missouri.
