The Gentiles will help nurse all parts of Israel—Nephites, Lamanites, and others. The United States of America will be raised up in the promised land, and American citizens will play a role in the scattering of the descendants of father Lehi. A marvelous work, the Restoration (including additional scripture, the gospel, the Church, and the covenant), will be “of great worth” to the remnants of Lehi. The Gentiles will be nourishing them, or carrying them, like little lambs, in their arms and on their shoulders.
This great Restoration will be valuable to all Israel and to all the Gentiles. The Lord God will “make bare his arm,” or as we might say, the hand of the Lord will be in it, and all nations will know the great thing he has brought about.
After the prophesied scattering comes the necessary sequel, the prophesied gathering—both physical and spiritual. Covenant people (including those adopted or grafted in) will be gathered physically to their lands of inheritance, and they will be gathered spiritually to the knowledge that “the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer.”
