3 Nephi 20
|
|
| 20:1It came to pass that he commanded the multitude that they should
cease to pray, and also his disciples. And he commanded them that they should not cease to pray
in their hearts. |
And it came to pass
(20:1, 3, 10, 20)
|
| 20:2 And he commanded them that they should arise and stand up upon their feet. And they
arose up and stood upon their feet. |
|
| 20:3 It came to pass that he brake bread again and blessed it, and
gave to the disciples to eat. |
|
| 20:4 And when they had eaten he commanded them that they should break bread, and give
unto the multitude. |
|
| 20:5 And when they had given unto the multitude he also gave them wine to drink, and
commanded them that they should give unto the multitude. |
|
| 20:6 Now, there had been no bread, neither wine, brought by the disciples, neither by
the multitude; |
|
| 20:7 But he truly gave unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink. |
|
| 20:8 And he said unto them: He that eateth this bread eateth of my body to his soul; and
he that drinketh of this wine drinketh of my blood to his soul; and his soul shall never hunger nor
thirst, but shall be filled. |
|
| 20:9 Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold, they were filled with the
Spirit; and they did cry out with one voice, and gave glory to Jesus, whom they both saw and
heard. |
|
| 20:10 It came to pass that when they had all given glory unto
Jesus, he said unto them: Behold now I finish the commandment which the Father hath commanded me
concerning this people, who are a remnant of the house of Israel. |
|
| 20:11 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 -- |
|
| 20:12 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. |
|
| 20:13 And then shall the remnants, which shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the
earth, be gathered in from the east and from the west, and from the south and from the north;
and they shall be brought to the knowledge of the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them. |
|
| 20:14 And the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you this land, for your
inheritance. |
|
| 20:15 And I say unto you, that if the Gentiles do not repent after the blessing which they
shall receive, after they have scattered my people -- |
|
| 20:16 Then shall ye, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and
ye shall be in the midst of them who shall be many; and ye shall be among them as a
lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both
treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
|
 (20:16)
"Ye shall be ... as a lion among the flocks of sheep, who ... teareth in pieces."
What the Book of Mormon says about Terrorism
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in
the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of
the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep:
who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in
pieces, and none can deliver. Micah 5:8
(20:17)
"Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off."
Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Micah 5:9
(20:18)
... for he shall gather them as
the sheaves into the floor. Micah 4:12
(20:19)
"Thou shalt beat in pieces many people."
I will make thine
horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou
shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate
their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the
Lord of the whole earth. Micah 4:13
(20:20)
"The sword of my justice"
God will kill those who don't repent with "the sword of justice."
|
| 20:17 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine
adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
|
| 20:18 And I will gather my people together as a man gathereth his sheaves into the
floor.
|
| 20:19 For I will make my people with whom the Father hath covenanted, yea,
I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass. And thou shalt beat in pieces many people;
and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
And behold, I am he who doeth it.
|
| 20:20 And it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that
the sword of my justice shall hang
over them at that day; and except they repent it shall fall upon them, saith the Father, yea, even
upon all the nations of the Gentiles.
|
| 20:21 And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of Israel.
|
| 20:22 And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the
covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem. And the powers of
heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst of you.
|
| 20:23 Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying:
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise
up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say
unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off
from among the people. |
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that
every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be
destroyed from among the people. Acts 3:22-23
|
| 20:24 Verily I say unto you, yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
after, as many as have spoken, have testified of me. |
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after,
as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these
days. Acts 3:24
|
| 20:25 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. |
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which
God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in
thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:25
|
| 20:26 The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning
away every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are the children of the
covenant -- |
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to
bless you, in turning away every one of you from his
iniquities. Acts 3:26
|
| 20:27 And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made
with Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed -- unto the pouring
out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them
mighty above all, unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel. |
|
| 20:28 And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this land. Nevertheless, when they
shall have received the fulness of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against me I
will return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father. |
|
| 20:29 And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people; and I have
covenanted with them that I would gather them together in mine own due time, that I would give
unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem,
which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father. |
|
| 20:30 And it shall come to pass that the time cometh, when the fulness of my gospel shall
be preached unto them; |
|
| 20:31 And they shall believe in me, that I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and shall
pray unto the Father in my name. |
|
| 20:32 Then shall their watchmen lift up their voice, and with the voice together shall
they sing; for they shall see eye to eye. |
|
| 20:33 Then will the Father gather them together again, and give unto them Jerusalem for
the land of their inheritance. |
|
| 20:34 Then shall they break forth into joy -- Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem;
for the Father hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. |
|
| 20:35 The Father hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the
ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the Father; and the Father and I are one. |
|
| 20:36 And then shall be brought to pass that which is written: Awake, awake again, and put
on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city, for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. |
|
| 20:37 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the
bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. |
|
| 20:38 For thus saith the Lord: Ye have sold yourselves for naught, and ye shall be redeemed
without money. |
|
| 20:39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that my people shall know my name; yea, in that day
they shall know that I am he that doth speak. |
|
| 20:40 And then shall they say: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings unto them of good,
that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth! |
|
| 20:41 And then shall a cry go forth: Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch
not that which is unclean; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean that bear the vessels of the
Lord. |
|
| 20:42 For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight; for the Lord will go before you,
and the God of Israel shall be your rearward. |
|
| 20:43 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and extolled and be
very high. |
|
| 20:44 As many were astonished at thee -- his visage was so marred, more than any man,
and his form more than the sons of men -- |
|
| 20:45 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him, for
that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they
consider. |
|
| 20:46 Verily, verily, I say unto you, all these things shall surely come, even as the
Father hath commanded me. Then shall this covenant which the Father hath covenanted with his
people be fulfilled; and then shall Jerusalem be inhabited again with my people, and it shall be
the land of their inheritance. |
