Promises given to scattered Israel
(from reading Jeremiah 46:27-28; 50:17-20, 33-34, and 41)
They are promised that they and their seed will be saved
from afar, that Jacob will return and that the Lord is with Jacob. The Lord is upset with the choices his
children are making but more angry with their teachers who are not showing them
the way to follow. Babylon will
eventually be destroyed and Israel will scatter, but will eventually be
restored.
Describe what happened in D & C 110:11 that relates to
D & C 110:11 "After this vision closed, the heavens
were again opened unto us; and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us
the keys of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the
leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north."
Jeremiah repeatedly prophesied predicting God's
judgment. He told the Israelites to
repent in hopes of turning away God's judgment and fulfilling their destiny as
His chosen people. Jeremiah's fellow Israelites refused to heed his warnings
and did not repent. His efforts failed.
What has happened since 1836 toward the
- We have been given prophets to lead us and guide us, and teach us the paths to follow
- Through missionary work, those that are lost will once again be found
- Keys will once again be upon the earth
Joseph Smith was the key to fulfill these promises. The keys he was given to lead the gospel and
send out missionaries, has brought about the truths of Jeremiah's prophecies.
