Sign #16 - The Final Gathering Of Israel From The Four Quarters Of The Earth

The people of the covenant are scattered when they reject the true Messiah, which is Jesus Christ, and His gospel and His true doctrine, that is when they fall into apostasy. 

They are scattered Israel in regards to their identity.  They do not understand who they are and who they belong to.  They belong to God.  We are all His sons and daughters. 

When they receive Jesus Christ as their Lord, and receive His Restored Gospel and accept His Doctrine, and they Repent and forsake their False Traditions and their False Gods that have been passed down through the ages, THEN they are Gathered.

Millions who are receiving the Restored Gospel today in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, after getting their PATRIARCHAL BLESSING, are finding out that THEY are descendants of the House of Israel.  Most are descendant from Ephraim, Joseph of Egypt's Son.

1 NEPHI 15: 12-18

12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared unto an olive tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of Israel, and are we not a branch of the house of Israel?

 

(As I have said once before, that the Indians in North America are a broken off part of the House of Israel because their ancestors came from Jerusalem and recorded their history, which became the Stick of Joseph or The Book of Mormon, written by their Ancestors to them in these Latter Days.)

 

13 And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, (NOW)  when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men, (His first Ministry in Jerusalem 2000 years ago) then shall the fulness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles, (The Non-Jews) and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed—   

 

(The Indians, descendants of the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon)

 

14 And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him; wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come unto him and be saved.

 

(The Indians have been receiving the Bible and The Book of Mormon, which is the knowledge of their Forefathers and the Gospel Restored, which Jesus Christ MINISTERED UNTO THEM after His Resurrection.  He came to their forefathers in the Americas.  It's Recorded by the Prophets in the Book of Mormon, in:

3 Nephi chapters 8-30, which records the Destruction and in chapter 11, His Appearance.)

 

15 And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine? Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God?

 

16 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel; they shall be grafted in, being a natural branch of the olive tree, into the true olive tree.

 

17 And this is what our father meaneth; and he meaneth that it will not come to pass until after they are scattered by the Gentiles; (They - The Indians) and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the Gentiles, (It - Meaning the Book of Mormon, the record of their Ancestors) that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles, for the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the house of Israel.  (Crucified and rejected by the Jews.)

 

18 Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but also of ALL the house of Israel, pointing to the covenant which should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenant the Lord made to our father Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

 

At the time of the original Apostles, before the Lord ascended into Heaven, and because of the Roman control of Israel asked Him:

 

ACTS 1: 6-9

 

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

 

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

 

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

 

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

 

In other words, the Promised Gathering of Israel was not YET, but in the Future, the Last Days WHEN the RESTORATION of the GOSPEL will begin.

 

The Keys of the Gathering of Israel were confered upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery by MOSES on APRIL 3, 1836 in the Kirkland Temple, the first Temple built since Herods Temple, 2000 years ago.

 

Since that time the Scattered remenants of Jacob have been leaving their professions, friends in all nations, and with the Spirit of Gathering are assembling with the Latter Day Saints to comprise Latter Day Israel.

 

The drawing power of this church is a Sign of the Times. 

According to Wikipedia, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the 4th Largest church in the United States and is one of the Fastest Growing Christian Churches. 

YES, CHRISTIAN. 

Not Protestant or Not Reformed, but RESTORED as it was ORIGINALLY.
