When these corrupt natural branches are strong again, maybe then they will bear good fruit for me, that I may yet have glory in the fruit of my orchard."
Then the Father and the Savior took branches from the mother tree that had become corrupt, and grafted them into the transplanted natural trees, which also had become corrupt.
- Note: The original transplanting was the Jewish/Lamanite dispersions, caused by the wicked Gentiles.
Then they took the corrupt branches from the transplanted natural trees and grafted them back into their mother tree.
- Note: This gathering is the gathering of the Jews, Lamanites, and dispersed tribes of Israel to their lands of inheritance, to be assisted by the righteous Gentiles (1 Nephi 15:15-18, 3 Ne 21:22-28, Mormon 5:14-15, 20).
The Father of the vineyard said to the Savior, "As we do this, only remove the most wicked from corrupt natural trees before doing as I have said. As we do this, we will send prophets to these corrupt natural branches once again.
We will destroy only the most wicked (those most ripe). We will do this so that the good, spiritual roots of the house of Israel will again be able to nourish their corrupt natural branches, and help them overcome evil.
Because I have saved the natural branches and their roots, perhaps the people of the house of Israel throughout my earth will bear good fruit once again, and I will have joy in them.
Now go. Give power to other servants, that we may all labor together diligently with our might in the earth, preparing the way, that I may yet have natural, good fruit again (the most precious fruit of all)!
