22:7 And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of
Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God will raise
up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon the face of this
land; and by them shall our seed be scattered.
22:8 And after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to do a
marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth unto
our seed; wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the
Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders.
22:9 And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto
the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of
the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy seed
shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
22:10 And I would, my brethren, that ye should know that all the
kindreds of the earth cannot be blessed unless he shall make bare his
arm in the eyes of the nations.
22:11 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm in the
eyes of all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and his gospel
unto those who are of the house of Israel.
22:12 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they
shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance; and they
shall be brought out of obscurity and out of darkness; and they shall
know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the Mighty One
of Israel.
22:13 And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the
whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall
war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon
their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood.
22:14 And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel,
shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit
which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all that fight
against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great whore, who hath
perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea, that great and abominable
church, shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it.
22:15 For behold, saith the prophet, the time cometh speedily that
Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men;
for the day soon cometh that all the proud and they who do wickedly
shall be as stubble; and the day cometh that they must be burned.
22:16 For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of God
shall be poured out upon all the children of men; for he will not
suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous.
22:17 Wherefore, he will preserve the righteous by his power, even if
it so be that the fulness of his wrath must come, and the righteous be
preserved, even unto the destruction of their enemies by fire.
Wherefore, the righteous need not fear; for thus saith the prophet,
they shall be saved, even if it so be as by fire.
