The promises that were given to scattered Israel begin with the promise that they will be saved from captivity. They will be gathered from all the corners of the earth and restored to their lands from those who took them captive. God will fulfill his promise to punish them for their sins but also all those who have fought against and sought to destroy them. The Lord will also please fro the children of Judah before God so that their sins may be forgiven.
Doctrine and Covenants 110:11
In this verse we begin to see this prophesy coming to pass as several past prophets, including the Savior, appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to restore the keys necessary to begin the gathering and restore more parts of the gospel to the earth. Keys were restored to bring us the sealing powers of heaven as part of the gathering of Israel.
Since 1836, we have seen the missionary force strengthen and be sent to the corners of the earth. We have seen over time that more and more countries are opening their doors. Temples are being built across the world to administer and share the ordinances necessary for eternal salvation. Furthermore, the Church is building relationships with other faiths and sharing our values and coming together to fight for the safety and protection of all mankind.
