The Lord Will Gather His People from All the Far Countries

John W. Welch

Verse 9 says, "Give ear all ye of far countries." This call indicates that the Lord will gather Israel again and bring back his people from wherever they may be in the world. The promise is that even though Israel will be scattered, the Lord will not forget them. This theme runs strongly through all of the Isaiah prophecies. This verse describes Stage 2 of Nephi’s worldview of God’s victory in gathering Israel.
