“That Day Shall the Work of the Father Commence Among All the Dispersed of My People”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Jehovah spake through Jeremiah: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.’ And then the Master described the manner in which missionaries would search out the people:

”Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.“ (Jeremiah 16:14-16.)”
