ether 13:1 - 18
what do you think moroni meant when he wrote the first shall be last and the last shall be first, in relation to the gathering of israel?
--> there was a lady that posted on the bofm page with a comment that i really loved... so here's that... "found this by orson pratt which describes by thoughts more than perfectly! 'now the gospel, when it was preached in ancient times, was preached first to the jew, the house of israel, to those of israelitish origin, and when they counted themselves unworthy of eternal life, and rejected that gospel, 'lo,' says paul, 'we turn unto the gentiles.' acts 13:46 says 'the gentiles then, heard it last; they were last to embrace the gospel of the kingdom, and the jews first, that is, as many of them would believe and repent. but in the last days, when the angel brings the gospel, it is reversed, and it is preached first to the gentiles, to bring in their fullness, and to fulfill their times, and then it will be sent to the house of israel" (journal of discourses 18:176b)
