The Stick of Ephraim or Joseph, namely the Book of Mormon clearly shows that the ancestors of the Indians of today, came from Jerusalem.
They ARE part of the LORD'S Covenant people. A curse came upon them because of the disbelief and iniquity of their fathers after their arrival in the Americas. This curse is Leaving as they accept the Restored Gospel and the Record of their Fathers or Ancestors.
In March 1831, the Lord revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith this revelation concerning them:
DOCTRINE and COVENANTS 49: 22-25
22 And again, verily I say unto you, that the Son of Man cometh not in the form of a woman, neither of a man traveling on the earth.
23 Wherefore, be not deceived, but continue in steadfastness, looking forth for the heavens to be shaken, and the earth to tremble and to reel to and fro as a drunken man, and for the valleys to be exalted, and for the mountains to be made low, and for the rough places to become smooth—and all this when the angel shall sound his trumpet.
24 But before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose.
25 Zion shall flourish upon the hills and rejoice upon the mountains, and shall be assembled together unto the place which I have appointed.
Some of the Lamanites have already accepted the Restored Gospel and their minds have been enlightened and now understand the promised made to their fathers.
NOTE: What the Prophet Nephi says and records here, between 559 and 545 B.C. here in the Americas.
2 For behold, I say unto you that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord; and as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off; for the Lord covenanteth with none save it be with them that repent and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.
(In verse 2, he is saying the Lord will Save those Gentiles who repent and accept the Gospel that will be RESTORED in the Last Days as His Covenant People and the Jews who will NOT repent will be cast off.)
3 And now, I would prophesy somewhat more concerning the Jews and the Gentiles. For after the book of which I have spoken shall come forth, and be written unto the Gentiles, and sealed up again unto the Lord, there shall be many which shall believe the words which are written; and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed.
(In verse 3, He is talking about the Book of Mormon, the record he is making, which will come in OUR DAY, and the plates taken back unto the Lord, he said many will believe them and take them to the world, but especially to his SEED, the Lamanites or the Indians.
4 And then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us, how that we came out from Jerusalem, and that they are descendants of the Jews.
(Here again in verse 4, that at that time they receive the Restored Gospel which is in the Book of Mormon, the INDIANS will KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that THEY are DESCENDANTS OF THE JEWS.)
5 And the gospel of Jesus Christ shall be declared among them; wherefore, they shall be restored unto the knowledge of their fathers, and also to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, which was had among their fathers.
6 And then shall they rejoice; for they shall know that it is a blessing unto them from the hand of God; and their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a pure and a delightsome people.
7 And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; and they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land; and as many as shall believe in Christ shall also become a delightsome people.
Lead by the Prophet Brigham Young, ZION is NOW established upon the Hills and Mountains and is beginning to Blossom as a Rose also and has begun to assemble together in her Stakes and appointed places here and Around the World.
The Desert and the Lamanites with BOTH Blossom as a Rose in these LAST DAYS.
