Israel’s Millennial Rest

Church Educational System

The day will come when “the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel” (2 Nephi 24:1). The Lord will gather his people “from far unto the ends of the earth; and they shall return to their lands of promise” (v. 2). Then “they shall rule over their [former] oppressors” (v. 2) and shall be given “rest, from [their] sorrow, and from [their] fear, and from the hard bondage” of their scattered years (v. 3). Verses 4 through 12 can be interpreted as taunting words against both Lucifer and Israel’s former oppressors, whose pomp “is brought down to the grave” (v. 11).
