Segment 5 of 5 [#591]
The Book of Mormon as a Signal of Covenant Fulfillment
3 Nephi 29:1 - 3 Nephi 29:9
Duration: 2:03
3 Nephi 29:1
And now behold, I say unto you
that when the Lord shall see fit, in his wisdom,
that these sayings shall come unto the Gentiles according to his word,
then ye may know that the covenant
which the Father hath made with the children of Israel,
concerning their restoration to the lands of their inheritance,
is already beginning to be fulfilled.
3 Nephi 29:2
And ye may know that the words of the Lord,
which have been spoken by the holy prophets, shall all be fulfilled;
and ye need not say
that the Lord delays his coming unto the children of Israel.
3 Nephi 29:3
And ye need not imagine in your hearts
that the words which have been spoken are vain,
for behold, the Lord will remember his covenant
which he hath made unto his people of the house of Israel.
3 Nephi 29:4
And when ye shall see these sayings coming forth among you,
then ye need not any longer spurn at the doings of the Lord,
for the sword of his justice is in his right hand;
and behold, at that day, if ye shall spurn at his doings
he will cause that it shall soon overtake you.
3 Nephi 29:5
Wo unto him that spurneth at the doings of the Lord;
yea, wo unto him that shall deny the Christ and his works!
3 Nephi 29:6
Yea, wo unto him that shall deny the revelations of the Lord, and that shall say
the Lord no longer worketh by revelation, or by prophecy,
or by gifts, or by tongues, or by healings, or by the power of the Holy Ghost!
3 Nephi 29:7
Yea, and wo unto him that shall say at that day,
to get gain,
that there can be no miracle wrought by Jesus Christ;
for he that doeth this shall become like unto the son of perdition,
for whom there was no mercy, according to the word of Christ!
3 Nephi 29:8
Yea, and ye need not any longer hiss, nor spurn,
nor make game of the Jews, nor any of the remnant of the house of Israel;
for behold, the Lord remembereth his covenant unto them,
and he will do unto them according to that which he hath sworn.
3 Nephi 29:9
Therefore ye need not suppose
that ye can turn the right hand of the Lord unto the left,
that he may not execute judgment unto the fulfilling of the covenant
which he hath made unto the house of Israel.
