1 Nephi 13:33-37

Brant Gardner

Most often, when the scriptures speak of God visiting his people “in great judgment,” it isn’t a good thing. Here it is. The Lamb of God says that he will be “merciful unto the Gentiles.” He does not visit condemnation upon them, but restoration of the plain and precious parts of the gospel. He will do that with a book from the New World children of Israel, a book that will contain his words, a book that records his gospel as he, himself, taught it when he manifested himself unto Nephi’s seed.

Not only will God gather his children from their scattered worlds, he will gather his words which had been scattered by the great and abominable church. The separated children of Israel, and the separated threads of the words of truth will be brought together and made white again. After than joining, Jehovah says: “blessed are they who shall see to bring forth Zion at that day.”
