“Prophecies of a literal gathering of the long-dispersed
tribes of Israel to the lands of their inheritance are found throughout the
scriptures. The fulfillment of those prophecies and promises is now underway
with the gathering of the covenant people into the Church, the kingdom of God
on earth. President Nelson explains, ‘When we speak of the gathering, we are
simply saying this fundamental truth: every one of our Heavenly Father’s
children … deserves to hear the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.’
The Lord commands members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to
‘arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations; that
the gathering together upon the land of Zion, and upon her stakes, may be for a
defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be
poured out without mixture upon the whole earth.’” – Elder D. Todd
Christofferson
