“From the Four Quarters of the Earth”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The message of the Restoration will have spread to all lands. The Book of Mormon in concert with the Bible repetitiously affirms that Israel—the ten tribes included-will be scattered among all nations. The scriptures do not sustain popular expressions which suppose that the lost tribes are anywhere other than scattered among the nations on earth. They will be gathered by the preaching of the elders of the Church—the prophets among them (D&C 133:26)—into the congregations of the Saints then established in their lands.
