“I have other sheep, other tribes and nations who neither live here nor in Jerusalem. They have not yet heard my voice nor have seen me, but I will show myself to them because the Father has commanded me to go to them. They will hear me and be numbered among my sheep, and there will be one fold and one shepherd.
“I command you to write down what I am saying, for if my people in Jerusalem do not ask the Father in my name, and receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost, and also a knowledge of the other tribes, then your record of me (The Book of Mormon, including the sealed portion) will come forth through the Gentiles (the Latter-day Saints) to their descendants (the latter-day Jews), scattered all over the earth. And through the fulness of the Gentiles in the last days, these records will bring the knowledge of me, their Redeemer, to many of them. After they receive this knowledge, then I will gather them from all over the earth and fulfill the Father’s covenant that He made to all of Israel’s descendants.
“The Gentiles are blessed because of their testimony of me through the Holy Ghost, who witnesses to them of me and the Father. The Father said, ‘Because the Gentiles will believe in me, and because you will not, oh house of Israel, in the last days the gospel will come to the Gentiles first.
But cursed are the unbelieving Gentiles, for even though the Father will show mercy on the Gentiles, and allow them to conquer, afflict, and kill Israel’s descendants because of His judgments upon the house of Israel (Native Americans), He commanded me to tell you this: ‘When the Gentiles sin against my gospel, and reject its fulness, when through their pride, they lift themselves above all nations and people of the earth, when they are full of lying, deceit, mischief, hypocrisy, murder, priestcraft, immorality, and secret abominations, then I will take the fulness of my gospel from among them.
“ ‘And I will remember the covenant that I made to Israel’s descendants by bringing my gospel to them (a great latter-day Lamanite conversion).
“ ‘The Gentiles will no longer have power over them, and they will come to know the fulness of my gospel. But if the Gentiles repent and come back to me,’ says the Father, ‘They will be numbered among my people of the house of Israel, and I will protect them from being trampled by my people. But if the Gentiles sin against my gospel, rejecting its fulness, and do not repent and come to me, then I will allow my people to go among them and conquer them. For the Gentiles will be like salt that has lost its flavor, and is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under the feet of my people—the house of Israel.’
“I have been commanded by the Father to give this land to the house of Israel and their descendants as an inheritance. When this land is given back to Israel’s descendants, then these words, spoken by Isaiah, will be fulfilled:
“ ‘Your watchmen will lift up their voices and sing together, for they will have understanding when the Lord again brings Zion.
“ ‘Be joyful and sing together, house of Israel, once scattered, for the Lord has comforted His people and redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has shown His great power in view of all people in all nations, and they will witness His salvation.’ ”
