Zion out of all of God's creations

Community of Christ Doctrine and Covenants 22:21

And the Lord God said unto Moses, For mine own purposes have I made these things. Here is wisdom, and
it remaineth in me. And by the word of my power have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who
is full of grace and truth. And worlds without number have I created, and I also created them for mine own
purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. And the first man of all men have I
called Adam, which is many. But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you;
for behold there are many worlds which have passed away by the word of my power; and there are many
also which now stand, and numberless are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me; for they are
mine, and I know them.

Community of Christ Doctrine and Covenants 36:12-13

And Enoch beheld the Son of man ascend up unto the Father; and he called unto the Lord, saying, Will you
not come again upon the earth, for inasmuch as you are God, and I know you, and you have sworn unto me,
and commanded me that I should ask in the name of your Only Begotten, you have made me, and given unto
me a right to your throne, and not of myself, but through your own grace; wherefore I ask you if you will not
come again upon the earth? And the Lord said unto Enoch, As I live, even so will I come in the last days—in
the days of wickedness and vengeance, to fulfill the oath which I made unto you, concerning the children of
Noah; and the day shall come that the earth shall rest, but before that day, shall the heavens be darkened,
and a veil of darkness shall cover the earth; and the heavens shall shake, and also the earth; and great
tribulations shall be among the children of men, but my people will I preserve; and righteousness will I send
down out of heaven; and truth will I send forth out of the earth, to bear testimony of my Only Begotten; his
resurrection from the dead; yea, and also the resurrection of all men; and righteousness and truth will I cause
to sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out my own elect from the four quarters of the earth unto a place
which I shall prepare; a holy city, that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking forth for the time of
my coming; for there shall be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem. And the Lord said
unto Enoch, Then shall you and all your city meet them there, and we will receive them unto our bosom, and
they shall see us, and we will fall upon their necks, and they shall fall upon our necks, and we will kiss each
other, and there shall be my abode, and it shall be Zion which shall come forth out of all the creations which
I have made; and for the space of a thousand years shall the earth rest.

from "The Hermitage" by Edward Rowland Sill:

However small the present creature man, —
Ridiculous imitation of the gods,
Weak plagiarism on some completer world, —
Yet we can boast of that strong race to be.
The savage broke the attraction which binds fast
The fibres of the oak, and we to-day
By cunning chemistry can force apart
The elements of the air. That coming race
Shall loose the bands by which the earth attracts;
A drop of occult tincture, a spring touched
Shall outwit gravitation; men shall float,
Or lift the hills and set them down where they will.
The savage crossed the lake, and we the sea.
That coming race shall have no bounds or bars,
But, like the fledgeling eaglet, leave the nest, —
Our earthly eyrie up among the stars, —
And freely soar, to tread the desolate moon,
Or mingle with the neighbor folk of Mars.
Yea, if the savage learned by sign and sound
To bridge the chasm to his fellow's brain,
Till now we flash our whispers round the globe,
That race shall signal over the abyss
To those bright souls who throng the outer courts
Of life, impatient who shall greet men first
And solve the riddles that we die to know.

"The Hermitage", written in 1866, was first published in The Hermitage and Other Poems
in 1868. The first landing of men on the Moon was in 1969. Did the quoted passage have an
influence on naming the first lunar module? "The Eagle has landed!" It seems remarkable that
the phrase "to tread the desolate moon" was written 103 years before it became a reality.
