What is the doctrine and covenants you're referencing?ZION
The word Zion has various meanings in the scriptures. The most general definition of the word is “the pure in heart” (Doctrine and Covenants 97:21). Zion is often used in this way to refer to the Lord’s people or to the Church and its stakes (see Doctrine and Covenants 82:14). It has also been used to refer to specific geographical locations.
The word Zion appears repeatedly in all the books of scripture of the Church. In latter-day revelation, Zion is defined as “the pure in heart” (Doctrine and Covenants 97:21).
Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 10:13, 16
13 And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God.
16 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the harlot of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God.
Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 16:10
10 And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.
Many who read in the scriptures of people “fighting against Zion” may assume they refer only to non-members of the church. A search, however, may disabuse our minds on that subject. First, “He that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the harlot of all the earth” (2 Nephi 10:16). Those who fight against Zion, in other words—whatever name they go by—belong to the great and abominable church of the devil, which “fightagainst the Lamb of God” (1 Nephi 14:13).

The LDS belief is that its First Presidency alone authoritatively speaks for God in these matters.. . . .t the page I linked also indicates purification thru Jesus the Christ. Therefore LDS cannot claim to be the only Zion that D&C 97:21 refers to. Unless they're claiming that God only works with the LDS religion thru its leadership.
To make a point: the 'old settlers' in Missouri ordered a printing press destroyed because people printed things about them?
I know you will believe as you believe, but Joseph Smith wasn't a prophet. If he can't pass the Deuteronomy 13 test, he's not a prophet. Read Deuteronomy 13 and compare it to his writings.D&C or doctrine and covenants are rules and procedures with other revelations establish by Joseph Smith the Mormon prophet: Doctrine and Covenants
D&C 97:21: Therefore, verily, thus saith the Lord, let Zion rejoice, for this is Zion—the pure in heart; therefore, let Zion rejoice, while all the wicked shall mourn.
D&C 82:14" For Zion must increase in beauty, and in holiness; her borders must be enlarged; her stakes must be strengthened; yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must arise and put on her beautiful garments.

So many Christian 'prophets' failed that last one, devin553344, not JS Jr.
Do you? I am not any type of Mormon.

And some of those battles that Moses fought included hand to hand combat.If God was going to destroy all that battle against Zion, why create an army to harass the US Government forces? I find that kinda strange in the faith area. Maybe it's just me. But the OT is full of miraculous battles of God against the enemies of Moses, etc.
