The remaining population were sold as slaves, and driven like the
dumb ass under his burthen, and scattered, as corn is sifted in
a sieve, throughout the Gentile world. Jerusalem was razed from
its foundations, the ruins of the temple thrown down, and the
foundation thereof ploughed up, that not one stone was left upon
another. Christ said that Jerusalem should be trodden down of the
Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, which has
been the case to the very letter until the present generation.
{26} Will not God in like manner as truly and faithfully bring to
pass those great, important and tremendous events upon the heads
of the Gentile world which have been proclaimed by the Prophets
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and many other holy Prophets;
also by Christ and the Apostles on the continent of Asia, as well
as by Lehi, Nephi, Alma, Moroni, and others on this continent--all
of whom have proclaimed these things as they were moved upon by the
Spirit of inspiration, the power of God, and the gift of the Holy
Ghost?
The Apostle says that "No prophecy of the Scripture is of any
private interpretation, for the prophecy came not of old time by
the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost."
Isaiah's soul seemed to be on fire, and his mind wrapt in the
visions of the Almighty, while he declared, in the name of the
Lord, that it should come to pass in the last days that God should
set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His
people, assemble the outcasts of Israel, gather together the
dispersed of Judah, destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea and make
men go over dry-shod, gather them to Jerusalem on horses, mules,
swift beasts, and in chariots, and rebuild Jerusalem upon her own
heaps; while, at the same time, the destroyer of the Gentiles will
be on his way; and while God was turning the captivity of Israel,
he would put all their curses and afflictions upon the heads of
the Gentiles, their enemies, who had not sought to recover, but to
destroy them, and had trodden them under foot from generation to
generation.
