According to one Mormon source, Dynasty of the Holy Grail: Mormonism’s Sacred Bloodline by Vernon Swanson, the L.D.S. has been ahead of every other Grail cult in terms of revelation and election, including Freemasonry, with Joseph Smith being the Grail King who will reincarnate in the latter-days “to correct the evil (of disobedience to the Mormon gospel) and restore Eden by preparing the world for the paradisiacal Millennium.” (p. 257) Apparently the L.D.S. was named the “Church of the Latter-day Saints” because Joseph Smith received a revelation that the original Mormon leadership would reincarnate in the “Latter Days” to bring in the Millennium.

“Besides LDS leaders, the Lathrop line has produced other noted Americans, namely Ulysses S. Grant, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eli Whitney, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Dr. Benjamin Spock. More recently we have President George Bush, Utah Congressman Dan Marriott, former Secretary of Education T. H. Bell, former LDS Michigan governor George Romney and his son, Mitt Romney, governor of Massachusetts.
