Sign #17 - Return Of The Ten Lost Tribes Of Israel From The North

The gathering of the Tribe of Ephraim in these Last Days is a Major Event.  Ephraim was given the Blessing by Jacob, rather than Manasseh even though Manasseh was the first born, but the Lord inspired Jacob to give the blessing to Ephraim. 

The majority of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are of Ephraim.   WHY? 

Because the blessing was given to Ephraim to be gathered First to the covenant of the Gospel with Priesthood Authority and then bear the message of the Restored Gospel to the world and they would preside over the Gathering of Israel and administer the ordinances of salvation. 

The Ten Tribes would come to the children of Ephraim and receive their blessings under the hand of Ephraim because they hold the Restored Melchizedek Priesthood with the Authority to minister the Ordinances thereof.  Heavenly Father only recognizes the Authority and Priesthood given by Him to His servants.

Let me give a few scriptures that back up and explain the things I have said:

1 Nephi 22: 4.

4 And behold, there are many who are already lost from the knowledge of those who are at Jerusalem. Yea, the more part of all the tribes have been led away; and they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of the sea; and whither they are none of us knoweth, save that we know that they have been led away.

(This is the Prophet Nephi talking to his wayward brothers between 588-570 B.C.)

Here, Jesus Christ is talking to the Nephites in the Americas in 34 A.D. explaining what He did in Jerusalem.

3 NEPHI 15: 15 - 20

15 Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment that I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes of the house of Israel, whom the Father hath led away out of the land.  

(The Ten Lost Tribes)

16 This much did the Father command me, that I should tell unto them:

 

17 That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

 

18 And now, because of stiffneckedness and unbelief they understood not my word; therefore I was commanded to say no more of the Father concerning this thing unto them.

 

19 But, verily, I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me, and I tell it unto you, that ye were separated from among them because of their iniquity; therefore it is because of their iniquity that they know not of you.

 

20 And verily, I say unto you again that the other tribes hath the Father separated from them; and it is because of their iniquity that they know not of them.

(The Lost Ten Tribes)

Now, Jesus tells them this:

3 NEPHI 17: 4

4 But now I go unto the Father, and also to show myself unto the lost tribes of Israel, for they are not lost unto the Father, for he knoweth whither he hath taken them.

Then a little later He tells them this:

3 NEPHI 21: 26

26 And then shall the work of the Father commence at that day, (Last Days - Our Time) even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. (The Remnant is the Indians, they are descendants of Israel) Verily I say unto you, at that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem.

(God, The Father, led Lehi and his family out of Jerusalem 600 B.C. and the 10 Lost Tribes between 922-721 B.C.)

To keep this blog short, here are the Scriptures you should read, IN THIS ORDER, so it may be easier to understand.  Just click on them and it will take you to them.  This will give you a better picture of what has happened and what WILL happen.

3 NEPHI 28: 29  if you read the whole chapter, you will get a better picture.

2 NEPHI 29: 12-13 he says the Jews should write it (Bible) and the Nephites shall write it (Stick of Ephraim or Joseph - Book of Mormon) and the 10 Lost Tribes will write and  ALL of them will have EACH OTHERS WRITINGS).
