’Through your descendants, all families throughout the earth will be blessed.'"
- Note: Speaking to the Nephites in 34 A.D., the Savior supported Nephi's then 600 year old statements about Isaiah and the covenant, saying,
- "Ye remember that I spake unto you, and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled—behold they are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them—
- "Ye remember that I spake unto you, and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled—behold they are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them—
- And verily, verily, I say unto you, that when they shall be fulfilled, then is the fulfilling of the covenant which the Father hath made unto his people, O house of Israel.
- And behold, ye are the children of the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed (3 Nephi 20:11-12, 25).”
Iexplained many of these things to my brothers -- about the Jews being restored to the lands of their inheritance in the last days.
Then I repeated the words of Isaiah, who wrote about the restoration of the Jews and of all the house of Israel. I told them that at that time, the house of Israel would no longer be scattered and confused.
After I explained these things, my brothers were pacified for awhile and they humbled themselves before the Lord.
Later they asked me what the tree meant that our father saw in his dream.
