“He Remembereth the House of Israel, Both Roots and Branches”
The Lord knows and loves Israel, both roots (ancestry) and branches (posterity). His memory is perfect: he knows that Israel distinguished themselves in premortality; he knows that Abraham was promised that his seed would populate and bless the earth; he knows that Israel will have been refined in the furnaces of affliction; and he knows that the faithful of Israel will go on to enjoy the sublime blessings of her progenitor: a “fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever” (D&C 132:19).
