The gathering of Israel is a doctrine so important and fundamental that it is included in our articles of faith, ‘We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes’ (A of F 10). Even before Israel has been completely scattered, Isaiah prophesies of their return in the latter-days. Hereby, the terrible destruction and captivity of Isaiah’s day will be turned to joy.
“The prophets which have been shut up in the north country with the nine and a half tribes led away by Shalmanezer, King of Assyria, thousands of years ago, will come in remembrance before God; they will smite the rocks and mountains of ice will flow down before them, and those long lost tribes will come forth in your day and mine, if we live a few years longer, and they will be crowned under the hands of the children of Ephraim—the elders of Israel who dwell in the land of Zion. And by and by the testimony of the gospel will be sealed among the Gentiles, and the gospel will turn to the whole house of Israel, and the judgments of God will back up the testimony of the elders of this Church, and the Lord will send messengers who will go forth and reap down the earth.” (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, edited by G. Homer Durham [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1969], 114.)
