The Name of the Church

Near-Death Experiences
From October 1989 General Conference.
Elder Haight describes something like a near-death experience he had. (A near-death vision.)
New Converts
The New Jerusalem
New Jerusalem to be established on the American Continent.
The Dead Sea Scrolls, 4Q537
A vision of Jacob. This is understood to contain a description of the New Jerusalem.
I see in it a description of both the new and the old Jerusalem. Of particular interest is the description of an area divided into squares. This description parallels the description of the New Jerusalem in 4Q554. (This is why the description in this scroll is taken to be a description of the New Jerusalem.)
Joseph Smith, compiled by Joseph Fielding Smith, "Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p. 84-85
Joseph Smith remarks on the distinction to be made between Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem is to be caught up into heaven and is to descend from heaven. The New Jerusalem is to be established in the Americas.
New Scripture
Dallin H. Oaks, "All Men Everywhere", Ensign, May 2006, p. 77, Part VI
One way new/old scripture can be revealed to us is exemplified by the Dead Sea Scrolls.
We should be ready to accept further scripture.
Orson Pratt, "King Limhi's Enquiry, Etc.", Journal of Discourses, Vol. 19, pp. 217-219
Lists many records expected.
Says the Urim and Thummim will be returned and there will be another seer.
