15 So
shall he asprinkle many
nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not
been btold
them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall
they consider. 14 Therefore,
behold, I will proceed to do a amarvellousbwork among
this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for
the cwisdom of
their wise men shall dperish,
and the eunderstanding of
their fprudent men shall
be hid. 30 ¶ But the soul that doeth ought apresumptuously whether he be born
in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth
the Lord; and that soul
shall be bcut off from among
his people. 31 Because he hath despised the word
of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his
iniquity shall be upon him. Micah 5: 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. 10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst
of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: 11 And I
will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: 12 And I
will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: 13 Thy
graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst
of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. 14 And I
will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 15 And I
will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. 11 ¶ Depart
ye, depart ye, go ye out from
thence, touch no unclean thing; go
ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels
of the Lord. 12 For
ye shall not go out
with ahaste,
nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your brearward. |

Nephi 21:1 And verily I say
unto you, I give unto you a asign,
that ye may know the btime when
these things shall be about to take place—that I shall gather in, from their
long dispersion, my people, O house of Israel, and shall establish again
among them my Zion; 2 And behold, this is the thing which I will
give unto you for a sign—for verily I say unto you that awhen these
things which I declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you hereafter
of myself, and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you
of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles that they may know
concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of
Jacob, and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them; 3 Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these
things shall be made aknown unto
them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, bfrom them unto you; 4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they
should be established in this land, and be set up as a afree people
by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto
a remnant of your seed, that
the bcovenant of
the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house
of Israel; 5 Therefore, when these works and the works
which shall be wrought among you hereafter shall come forth afrom the
Gentiles, unto your bseed which
shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity; 6 For thus it behooveth
the Father that it should come forth from the aGentiles,
that he may show forth his power unto the Gentiles, for this cause that the
Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they may repent and
come unto me and be baptized in my name and know of the true points of my
doctrine, that they may be bnumbered among
my people, O house of Israel; 7 And when these things come to pass that
thy aseed shall
begin to know these things—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know
that the work of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the
covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel. 8 And when that day shall come, it shall come
to pass that kings shall
shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and
that which they had not heard shall they aconsider. 9 For in that day, for my sake shall the
Father awork a
work, which shall be a great and a bmarvelous cwork among
them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a
man shall declare it unto them. 10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be
in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be amarred
because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that bmy wisdom
is greater than the cunning of the devil. 11 Therefore it shall come to pass that
whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father
shall cause ahim to
bring forth unto the bGentiles,
and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the
Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be ccut off from among my people who are of the
covenant. 12 And my people who are a remnant of Jacob
shall be among the Gentiles,
yea, in the midst of
them as a alion 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. 13 Their hand shall be lifted up upon their aadversaries,
and all their enemies shall be cut off. 14 Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except
they arepent;
for it shall come to pass in
that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will
destroy thy bchariots; 15 And I
will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy astrongholds; 16 And I
will cut off awitchcrafts out
of thy land, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers; 17 Thy agraven images I will also cut off, and
thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship
the works of thy hands; 18 And I
will pluck up thy agroves out
of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities. 19 And it shall come to pass that all alyings,
and deceivings, and envyings,
and strifes, and priestcrafts,
and whoredoms, shall be done away. 20 For it shall come to pass, saith the Father,
that at that aday
whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I bcut off from among my people, O house of
Israel; 21 And I
will execute avengeance and bfury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. 22 But if they will repent and hearken unto my
words, and aharden not
their hearts, I will bestablish my
church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be cnumbered
among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom
I have given this land for their dinheritance; 23 And they shall assist my apeople,
the remnant of Jacob, and also
as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city,
which shall be called the bNew Jerusalem. 24 And then shall athey assist
my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face
of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem. 25 And then shall the apower of
heaven come down among them; and bI also
will be in the midst. 26 And then shall the work of the Father
commence at that day, even awhen this
gospel shall be preached among the remnant of bthis people. Verily I say unto you, at
that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the
dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes which have been clost,
which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem. 27 Yea, the work shall commence among all the adispersed of
my people, with the Father to prepare the way whereby they may bcome unto
me, that they may call on the Father in my name. 28 Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the Father among all nations in
preparing the way whereby his people may be agathered home
to the land of their inheritance. 29 And they shall go out from all nations; and
they shall anot go out in bhaste,
nor go by flight, for I will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be their rearward. |
