ANCIENT PROPHET SEES AMERICA IN LAST DAYS

An Ancient prophet named Jacob, who lived in the Americas between 559 - 544 B.C., talked about this land in prophetic vision.

The Prophet Jacob saw in the last days there would be a righteous branch of the House of Israel on this land, where he was then standing.

JACOB PROPHESIES ABOUT AMERICA, THE LAND HE IS STANDING ON AT THAT MOMENT.

2 Nephi 9: 53

53 And behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.

Ancient prophets have seen Jesus Christ long before He was born on the earth.  They knew that He was Jehovah of the Old Testament who was to come to the earth to perform the Atonement for all mankind.

2 Nephi 10: 1-5

1 And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren, concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken.  (This was Lehi's descendants who came from Jerusalem 600 B.C.).  (Jacob was a prophet son of Lehi)
 
2 For behold, the promises which we have obtained are promises unto us according to the flesh; wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief, nevertheless, God will be merciful unto many; and our children shall be restored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer.
 
3 Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ—for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name—should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify him—for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.
 
4 For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that he be their God.
 
5 But because of priestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem will stiffen their necks against him, that he be crucified.

The Lord knew that they would eventually crucify Him when He came to the earth. 

But they had to make the choice on their own, and He allowed it because the Atonement had to be made for all of us. 

Jacob continues his prophesy.

Jacob continues to talk about when his Prophet father Lehi left Jerusalem with him and Nephi and his other family members he mentions that the righteous would be scattered among all nations. 

And, as we know now, Jerusalem was attacked in 586 B.C.

2 Nephi 10: 7-8

7 But behold, thus saith the Lord God:  When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob), that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance. 

8 And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in from their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea, and from the four parts of the earth; and the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.

2 NEPHI 10: 10-16

10 But behold, this land, (The Lord talking to Jacob about America), said God, shall be a land of thine inheritance, and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land.  (America has been blessed on this land)
 

11 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles. 

12 And I will fortify this land against all other nations.
 

13 And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God.

 
14 For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.
 
15 Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled which I have made unto the children of men, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh, I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness, and of murders, and of abominations.
 
16 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God.
 
Those who are not of Israel are Gentiles according to the definition.

REMEMBER, all of this is being said by a prophet in the Americas between  559 - 544 B.C.


18 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, thus saith our God: I will afflict thy seed (meaning the American Indians), by the hand of the Gentiles; nevertheless, I will soften the hearts of the Gentiles, that they shall be like unto a father to them; wherefore, the Gentiles shall be blessed and numbered among the house of Israel. 

19 Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy seed, and them who shall be numbered among thy seed, forever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, saith God unto me, above all other lands, wherefore I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship me, saith God.

2 Nephi 10: 21-23

21 But great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon the isles of the sea; wherefore as it says isles, there must needs be more than this, and they are inhabited also by our brethren.
 

22 For behold, the Lord God has led away from time to time from the house of Israel, according to his will and pleasure. And now behold, the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off, wherefore he remembereth us also.  

23 Therefore, cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves—to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life.

Man don't have to believe the Lord and may think his hand is mightier than the Lords but they cannot ignore His Words.  All His words will be fulfilled.

Many things can be learned by reading the chapters before and after this chapter.

Sign #48 - The Second Coming ITSELF, IS The Restitution Of All Things, COMPLETED

When the Millennium is begun, the Restitution of All Things is Completed. 

The Earth will be changed back into the way it was at the time of the Garden of Eden for the Millennium.

ISAIAH 65: 17-25 
 
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.

19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
 
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
 
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
 
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
 
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
 
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
 
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
 

The Continents will come together as one land mass as it was before the days of Peleg.  There will be many destructions and changes for this to happen.  The Earth will be changed.


DOCTRINE and COVENANTS 133: 22-25

22 And it shall be a voice as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder, which shall break down the mountains, and the valleys shall not be found.
 
23 He shall command the great deep, and it shall be driven back into the north countries, and the islands shall become one land;
 
24 And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided.
 
25 And the Lord, even the Savior, shall stand in the midst of his people, and shall reign over all flesh.

On this One Land Mass there will be TWO CAPITALS from which the LORD will GOVERN THE EARTH during the Millennium. 

ZION, or the NEW JERUSALEM, which will be built in Jackson County, Missouri.  This is where the LAW will go forth from to all the World. 

Enoch's city will Return and join with the city of Zion.

THE OLD JERUSALEM, will be rebuilt and it will be Glorious to see.  This is where the Word of the Lord will go forth from to all the World.

By this time, ALL the Wicked, every single one of them, WILL be OFF the Face of the Earth and be in the spirit world.

The LORD Himself will live here for the Thousand year Millennium.

 
23 And prepare for the revelation which is to come, when the veil of the covering of my temple, in my tabernacle, which hideth the earth, shall be taken off, and all flesh shall see me together.
 
24 And every corruptible thing, both of man, or of the beasts of the field, or of the fowls of the heavens, or of the fish of the sea, that dwells upon all the face of the earth, shall be consumed;
 
(Remember, by this time all the Righteous Dead and Righteous Living will be with Him in the Clouds before this happens and then they will descend to the Earth.)
 
25 And also that of element shall melt with fervent heat; and all things shall become new, that my knowledge and glory may dwell upon all the earth.
 
26 And in that day the enmity of man, and the enmity of beasts, yea, the enmity of all flesh, shall cease from before my face.
 
27 And in that day whatsoever any man shall ask, it shall be given unto him.
 
28 And in that day Satan shall not have power to tempt any man.
 
29 And there shall be no sorrow because there is no death.
 
30 In that day an infant shall not die until he is old; and his life shall be as the age of a tree;
 
31 And when he dies he shall not sleep, that is to say in the earth, but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be caught up, and his rest shall be glorious.

DOCTRINE and COVENANTS 29: 11-12

11 For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory, with all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with men on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand.
 
12 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath gone forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that mine apostles, the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at Jerusalem, shall stand at my right hand at the day of my coming in a pillar of fire, being clothed with robes of righteousness, with crowns upon their heads, in glory even as I am, to judge the whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved me and kept my commandments, and none else.
 
This will be the END OF THE WORLD as WE KNOW IT NOW.  This means the Destruction of the Wicked and every corruptable thing and the Earth will be changed.
 
 
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

NOTE:  Some of the signs may come before or after others or even happen at the same time.  When the Destructions in the Last Days Begin, They DO NOT STOP until ALL IS COMPLETED.

THE SIGNS ARE NOW COMPLETED!
