because this long time ye have cried unto me.

and hast driven us forth,
and for these many years we have been in the wilderness;

but behold these things which I have molten out of the rock.

and the Lord said unto him: Arise,
why hast thou fallen?

will I appear unto my people in the flesh.

I could not make a full account of these things which are written,

even as he showed himself unto the Nephites.

even as he ministered unto the Nephites;
and all this, that this man might know that he was God,

and show it to no man.

even as the brother of Jared did,
that they may become sanctified in me,

saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are.

which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you —
yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name,
with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant
which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel.
Ether 4:18
Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth,

for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the kingdom
prepared for him from the foundation of the world.
