As my LDS readers know, Section 89 of the Doctrine & Covenants contains the "Word of Wisdom" laying out some dietary recommendations and restrictions, including the ban on alcohol, tobacco and hot drinks (interpreted as tea and coffee). But in the preface to the that section, the Lord notes that it is being given to the salvation of the Saints in the Last Days. Cross referencing the phrases used to Biblical passages, the author comes up with an explanation of the verse in Revelation about the woman being given eagles wings and fleeing into the wilderness for 3-1/2 years. Based on D&C 89, he believes that this is in specific reference to the Church fleeing to Missouri due to the heavy persecution that will come upon the Saints right before the Second Coming.
