Join us today as we continue our study of the Isaiah chapters, focusing on 2 Nephi 12, 21 and 22. We focus on the Millennium and the prophecies about this time. We also consider our role in this great gathering.
Ezra Taft Benson: They came west with the faith that God had “set his hand again the second time” 2 Ne. 21:11 to restore the house of Israel. They knew that they were a part of this great movement. They were converted to the truth that the Church of Jesus Christ had been restored again on the earth through the instrumentality of a latter-day Prophet, Joseph Smith, and that following his martyrdom, the keys of the priesthood had been continued through Joseph’s ordained successor, Brigham Young. They believed themselves to be God-directed and prophet-led. Their conviction inspired their sacrifices.
They came—with indomitable faith and courage, following incredible suffering and adversity. They came—with stamina, with inspired confidence for better days.
