The position of the house of Israel after the gathering will be a complete reversal. Where other nations had overpowered her in the course of history, she will no longer fear. When the gathering begins, God will “have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work.” Were we to stop reading at this point, the instrument would be the Book of Mormon. However, the continuation simply indicates that God will defend his people, and against them no weapon would prosper.
This is not the end of a chapter in the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon.
