Please, go your way! Nothing to see here.
The word "history" was redefined.
As the words horse, translation, chariot, the land northward and more...
clarifications??? (Alma 22:31) Thus the land on the northward was called Desolation.

[edited to say that the rumor is that this is to occur in the next few months and not immediately]
mms,
This “rumor” is a bit like a weather forecast that says: It’s going to rain. But the forecast does not tell where or when. So it’s true.
Historically, religious organizations tend to “post some clarification…” of something regarding their doctrines. It is clearly the historical reality of religious organizations which followed the Protestant Reformation of 1517 A.D.
We have many hundreds of religious organizations which are revisions of previous religious pronouncements of their predecessors.
The point is that religious revisionism is the very essence of the evolving religious doctrine. Mormonism is a relative new-comer to the revision of religious doctrine. “Clarification” is what all the multiple translations of the Bible tend to be. Someone or some group decides that new verbiage is required to clarify some religious dogma.
