RETIREMENT (in Zion)
2nd Book of Commandments  65:3-7
Of these seventy years, speaking according to the length of days, months and years of your earth, sixty of these shall he work and labor as was commanded of Adam.
And even as I labored to organize and prepare this earth, even the six periods of time called days, likewise ye shall work the sixty years to accomplish all that ye can to earn a living and build up your inheritance in righteousness.
And after ye have accomplished this ye shall rest and reap the fruits of your labors.
Nevertheless, ye shall not be idle in these years, but ye shall no longer be bound by the commandment given to Adam to work by the sweat of your brow to earn your living, but ye shall be free to teach, exhort and call upon the people to repent and seek righteousness.
If it is My will that your years are extended beyond the seventy years, ye shall continue faithful to the end that your reward may be complete.
