Zion's Camp ends without a shot fired, without reclaiming lands, and without the war everybody was anticipating. We get an unpublished revelation that includes the beginning of the end of the United Firm and the end of a form of consecration that is never fully reestablished in the Church. However, we also get section 105 which expounds the idea that Zion's Camp was "a day of calling" and a training ground for the future leaders of the Church.
