“Ye Remnant of the House of Israel”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Though Mormon is addressing specifically the descendants of Lehi, his message and warning are applicable and appropriate to all Israel, all of those who constitute a remnant of Jacob.

“Ye Remnant of the House of Israel”

Like the title page of the Book of Mormon, this chapter serves as a sort of summary statement, a comprehensive picture of what matters to the Nephite prophet-writers. So far as we can tell, this chapter would represent Mormon’s final offering, his last counsel to the people of the last days, a message which is brief but all-encompassing. It distills into ten short verses what will surely prove to be timely and timeless directives, pertinent warnings for the people of the last days.
