3 NephiChapter21

v1.10.1

And verily I say unto you, I give unto you a sign, that ye may know the time when these things shall be about to take place—that I shall gather in, from their long dispersion, my people, O house of Israel, and shall establish again among them my Zion;

Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, from them unto you;

For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

Therefore, when these works and the works which shall be wrought among you hereafter shall come forth from the Gentiles, unto your seed which shall dwindle in unbelief because of iniquity;

For thus it behooveth the Father that it should come forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his power unto the Gentiles, for this cause that the Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they may repent and come unto me and be baptized in my name and know of the true points of my doctrine, that they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel;

And when these things come to pass that thy seed shall begin to know these things—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.

And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

For in that day, for my sake shall the Father work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work among them; and there shall be among them those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them.

Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant.

And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off.

Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots;

And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds;

And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers;

Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the works of thy hands;

And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities.

And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away.

For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel;

And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.

And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem.

And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst.

Yea, the work shall commence among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on the Father in my name.

Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the Father among all nations in preparing the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance.

And they shall go out from all nations; and they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight, for I will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be their rearward.

And truly I say to you, I give you a sign, so that you may know the time when these things are about to take place: that I will gather in my people from their long dispersion, O house of Israel, and will establish my Zion among them again;

And this is what I will give you for a sign. Truly I say to you, when the things I declare to you, and the things I will declare to you later myself and by the power of the Holy Ghost that the Father will give you, are made known to the Gentiles, so that they may know about this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, and about this my people who will be scattered by them; Truly I say to you, when these things are made known to them by the Father and come forth from the Father, from them to you; For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land and set up as a free people by the power of the Father, so that these things might come forth from them to a remnant of your posterity, and the covenant of the Father might be fulfilled, which he has covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

So when these works, and the works that will be done among you later, come forth from the Gentiles to your posterity, who will fade away in unbelief because of wickedness; For this is what the Father requires: that it should come forth from the Gentiles, so that he may show his power to the Gentiles, and so that the Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, may repent, come to me, be baptized in my name, and know the true points of my doctrine, so that they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel; And when these things happen, and your posterity begin to know these things, it will be a sign to them, so that they may know that the work of the Father has already begun to fulfill the covenant he made with the people who are of the house of Israel.

And when that day shall come, kings shall shut their mouths; for what had not been told them, they shall see, and what they had not heard, they shall consider. For in that day, for my sake the Father shall do a work, a great and marvelous work among them. And there shall be among them those who will not believe it, even though someone shall declare it to them.

But the life of my servant will be in my hand; so they will not hurt him, even though he will be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil. The Father will have my servant bring my words to the Gentiles and will give him power to bring them to the Gentiles. So whoever will not believe in my words, spoken by me, Jesus Christ, will be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant; it will be done just as Moses said.

And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, indeed in the midst of them, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, both tramples down and tears in pieces, and no one can deliver. Their hand shall be lifted up against their adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off.

Woe to the Gentiles unless they repent! For in that day, says the Father, I will cut off your horses from among you, and I will destroy your chariots; And I will cut off the cities of your land and throw down all your strongholds; And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your land, and you shall have no more soothsayers; Your carved images I will also cut off, and your standing images from among you, and you shall no longer worship the works of your hands; And I will pluck up your groves from among you; so will I destroy your cities.

And all lying, deceit, envy, strife, priestcrafts, and whoredoms will be done away with. For in that day, says the Father, I will cut off from among my people everyone who will not repent and come to my Beloved Son, O house of Israel; And I will execute vengeance and fury on them, just as on the heathen, such as they have not heard.

But if they will repent, listen to my words, and not harden their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they will come into the covenant and be numbered among this remnant of Jacob, to whom I have given this land as their inheritance; And they will help my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as will come, so that they may build a city, which will be called the New Jerusalem. And then they will help my people, who are scattered over all the face of the land, to be gathered in to the New Jerusalem. And then the power of heaven will come down among them, and I also will be in their midst.

And then the work of the Father will begin in that day, when this gospel will be preached among the remnant of this people. Truly I say to you, in that day the work of the Father will begin among all the dispersed of my people, even the tribes that have been lost, which the Father has led away out of Jerusalem. The work will begin among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father preparing the way for them to come to me, so that they may call on the Father in my name. And then the work will begin, with the Father among all nations, preparing the way for his people to be gathered to the land of their inheritance. And they shall go out from all nations; they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight, for I will go before them, says the Father, and I will be their rear guard.

And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign—for verily I say unto you that when these things which I declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles that they may know concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them; Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and shall come forth of the Father, from them unto you; For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;
