“The Grafting in of the Natural Branches”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Prophetically it had been announced that after this branch of Israel had been planted in the Americas it would grow wild for the space of many generations. Many years after Christ’s ministry in the Old World and his visit among the Nephites, the families of Lehi and Ishmael would dwindle in unbelief, the gospel of salvation having been taken from them. Then in the last days, after the gospel had been lost to all men, the fulness of the gospel would be restored unto the Gentiles, who in turn would bring it to the remnant of Lehi’s and Ishmael’s seed.
