The failure of the saints led to a scourge on the church

[theplains]

Was it September 11 of 1836 or 1837 that was the appointed time for the redemption of Zion?
 
"But, in case the excitement continues to be allayed, and peace prevails, use every effort to 
prevail on the churches to gather to those regions and locate themselves, to be in readiness 
to move into Jackson county in two years from the eleventh of September next, which is the 
appointed time for the redemption of Zion. If—verily I say unto you—if the Church with one 
united effort perform their duties; if they do this, the work shall be complete—if they do not 
this in all humility, making preparation from this time forth, like Joseph in Egypt, laying up 
store against the time of famine, every man having his tent, his horses, his chariots, his 
armory, his cattle, his family, and his whole substance in readiness against the time when it 
shall be said: 'To your tents, O Israel! Let not this be noised abroad; let every heart beat in 
silence, and every mouth be shut. Now, my beloved brethren, you will learn by this we have a 
great work to do, and but little time to do it in; and if we do not exert ourselves to the utmost 
in gathering up the strength of the Lord's house that this thing may be accomplished, behold 
there remaineth a scourge for the Church, even that they shall be driven from city to city, and 
but few shall remain to receive an inheritance; if those things are not kept, there remaineth a 
scourge also; therefore, be wise this once, O ye children of Zion! and give heed to my counsel, 
saith the Lord" (History of the Church, Volume 2, chapter 10, August 16, 1834).

No idea.

They failed though. I mean, they didn’t even have a single combat-ready chariot.
