3 And gathered
them out of the lands, from
the east, and from
the west, from the north, and from the south. 8 ¶ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the
beasts of the forest, as
a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go
through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. 9 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine
enemies shall be cut off. 12 But they know not the thoughts of
the Lord, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. 22 For Moses truly said unto
the fathers, A aprophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall
be destroyed from among the people. 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as
many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of
these days. 25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God
made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth
be blessed. 26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away
every one of you from his iniquities. Deut 18: 15 ¶ The Lord thy God
will raise
up unto thee a Prophet from
the midst of thee, of
thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 37 ¶ This
is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A aprophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto
you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. Isa 52 8 Thy watchmen shall
lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they
shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall
bring again Zion. 9 ¶ Break forth into joy, sing
together, ye awaste
places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he
hath redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord hath made bare his
holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the
earth shall see the salvation of our God. 1 aAwake, awake; put on thy bstrength,
O cZion;
put on thy dbeautiful egarments,
O fJerusalem,
the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the
uncircumcised and the unclean. 2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down,
O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive
daughter of Zion. 3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. Isa 52 7 ¶ How beautiful upon
the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! 11 ¶ Depart
ye, depart ye, go ye outfrom thence, touch no unclean thing;go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord. |

Nephi 20:1 And it came to pass
that he commanded the multitude that they should cease to bpray,
and also his disciples. And he commanded them that they should not cease to
pray in their hearts. 2 And he commanded them that they should arise
and stand up upon their feet. And they arose up and stood upon their feet. 3 And it came to pass that he abrake bbread again
and blessed it, and gave to the disciples to eat. 4 And when they had eaten
he commanded them that they should break bread, and give unto the multitude. 5 And when they had given unto the multitude he also gave them wine to drink, and commanded
them that they should give unto the multitude. 6 Now, there had been no abread,
neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by the multitude; 7 But he truly agave unto
them bread to eat, and also wine to drink. 8 And he said unto them: He that eateth this bread eateth
of amy body to his soul; and he that drinketh of this wine drinketh
of my blood to his soul; and his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but
shall be filled. 9 Now, when the multitude had all eaten and
drunk, behold, they were filled with the Spirit; and they did cry out with
one voice, and gave glory to Jesus, whom they both saw and heard. 10 And it came to pass that when they had all
given glory unto Jesus, he said unto them: Behold now I finish the
commandment which the Father hath commanded me concerning this people, who
are a remnant of the house of Israel. 11 Ye remember that I spake
unto you, and said that when the awords of bIsaiah should
be fulfilled—behold they are
written, ye have them before you, therefore search them— 12 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that
when they shall be fulfilled then is the fulfilling of the acovenant which
the Father hath made unto his people, O house of Israel. 13 And then shall the aremnants,
which shall be bscattered abroad
upon the face of the earth, be cgathered in
from the east and from the west, and from the south and from
the north; and they shall be brought to the dknowledge of
the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them. 14 And the Father hath acommanded me
that I should give unto you this bland,
for your inheritance. 15 And I say unto you, that if the Gentiles do
not arepent after the bblessing which
they shall receive, after they have scattered my people— 16 Then shall ye, who are a aremnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be
in the midst of them
who shall be many;
and ye shall be among
them as a lion among the
beasts of the forest, and as a young blion among
the flocks of sheep, who,
if he goeth through both ctreadeth down
and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. 17 Thy hand
shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut
off. 18 And I will agather my
people together as a man gathereth his sheaves into the floor. 19 For I will make my apeople with
whom the Father hath covenanted, yea, I will make thy bhorn iron,
and I will make thy hoofs brass. And thou shalt cbeat in
pieces many people; and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. And behold, I am he who
doeth it. 20 And it shall come to pass, saith the Father,
that the asword of
my justice shall hang over them at that day; and except they repent it shall
fall upon them, saith the Father, yea, even upon all the nations of the
Gentiles. 21 And it shall come to pass that I will establish
my apeople,
O house of Israel. 22 And behold, this apeople will
I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the bcovenant which
I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a cNew Jerusalem. And the dpowers of
heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even eI will
be in the midst of you. 23 Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: aA prophet shall the Lord your God raise up
unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him
shall ye hear in all things whatsoever
he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the
people. 24 Verily I say unto you, yea, and aall the
prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have
testified of me. 25 And behold, ye are the achildren of
the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the bcovenant which
the Father made with
your fathers, saying unto Abraham: And cin thy
seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 26 The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to abless you
in bturning away
every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are the
children of the covenant— 27 And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham, saying: aIn thy
seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed—unto the pouring
out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles, which bblessing
upon the cGentiles shall
make them mighty above all, unto the dscattering of
my people, O house of Israel. 28 And they shall be a ascourge unto
the people of this land. Nevertheless, when they shall have received the
fulness of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against me I
will return their biniquities upon
their own heads, saith the Father. 29 And I will aremember the
covenant which I have made with my people; and I have covenanted with them
that I would bgather
them together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again
the cland of
their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem, which is
the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father. 30 And it shall come to pass that the time
cometh, when the fulness of my gospel shall be preached unto them; 31 And they shall abelieve in
me, that I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and shall pray unto the Father in
my name. 32 Then
shall their awatchmen lift
up their voice, and with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall
see eye to eye. 33 Then will the Father gather them together
again, and give unto them aJerusalem for
the bland of
their inheritance. 34 Then shall they break forth into joy—aSing together,
ye waste places of Jerusalem; for the Father hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed
Jerusalem. 35 The Father hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the
nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the
Father; and the Father and I are one. 36 And then shall be brought to pass that which
is written: aAwake, awake again, and put on thy strength, O Zion;
put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city, for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 37 Shake
thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the
bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 38 For
thus saith the Lord: Ye have sold yourselves for naught, and ye shall be
redeemed without money. 39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that my
people shall know my name; yea, in that day they shall know that I am he that
doth speak. 40 And then shall they say: aHow beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings unto them, that bpublisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings
unto them of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth! 41 And then shall a cry go forth: aDepart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch not that which
is bunclean; go ye out of the midst of her;
be ye cclean that
bear the vessels of the Lord. 42 For ye
shall anot go out with bhaste nor
go by flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel shall be
your rearward. 43 Behold,
my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and extolled and be very
high. 44 As many
were astonished at thee—his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his
form more than the sons of men— 45 So shall
he asprinkle many
nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him, for that which had not
been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall
they bconsider. 46 Verily, verily, I say unto you, all these
things shall surely come, even as the Father hath commanded me. Then shall
this covenant which the Father hath covenanted with his people be fulfilled;
and then shall aJerusalem be
inhabited again with my people, and it shall be the land of their
inheritance. |
