Joseph Fielding Smith Quote regarding A Voice of Warning
I advise you to get a copy of Parley P. Pratt's Voice of Warning.
It was published first in the year 1837 and received the endorsement of the
Prophet Joseph Smith and was published in several editions during the lifetime
of the Prophet...This work should be read by all members of the Church and all
good men everywhere. It was approved by the Prophet Joseph Smith.
(Joseph
Fielding Smith, The Signs of the Times, New HLINK 159, 237)
Here you behold an ensign to be reared for the nations; and not only for the dispersed of Judah, but the outcast of Israel (the ten tribes) are all to be assembled together, from the four quarters of the earth. The Jews are called dispersed because they are scattered among the nations: but the ten tribes are called outcasts, because they are cast out, from the knowledge of the nations, in a land by themselves. Now the reader will bear in mind, that the ten tribes have not dwelt in the land of Canaan, since they were led captive by Shalmanezer, king of Assyria. We have also presented before us, in the 15th verse the marvellous power of God, which will be displayed in the destruction of a small branch of the red sea, called the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and also the dividing of the seven streams of the River Nile; which flows into the Mediterranean, by seven mouths; and the causing men to go over dry shod; and lest any should not understand it, literally, the 15th verse says, there shall be an high way for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, like as it was to Israel when he came up out of the land of Egypt. Now we have only to ask whether, in the days of Moses, the Red Sea was literally divided? or whether it was only a figure? for as it was then, so it shall be again. And yet we are told by modern divines, that the days of miracles have gone by forever; and those who believe in miracles, in our day, are counted as impostors, or at least, poor ignorant fanatics, and the public are warned against them, as false teachers who would, if possible, deceive the very elect.
On the subject of this restoration, the Prophets have spoken so fully and so repeatedly, that we can only notice a few of the most striking instances, which will go to show the particular circumstances and incidents attending it, and the manner and means of its accomplishment. The 16th chap. of Jer. 14, 15, 16 verses, says -- "Therefore, behold the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, the Lord liveth, that brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but the Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them; and I will bring them again into their own land that I gave unto their fathers, Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them, and after, I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. Now, it has ever been the case with Israel, when they wished to express the greatness of their God, to say, the Lord liveth, which brought up our fathers out of the land of Egypt. This saying at once called to mind the power and miracles of that memorable event; and associated with it, all that was great and grand, and calculated to strike the mind with awe, under a lively sense of the power of Israel's God. But to our astonishment! something is yet to transpire which will cast into momentary forgetfulness, all the great events of that day, and the children of Israel shall know that their God liveth, by casting their minds upon events of recent date which shall have transpired still more glorious and wonderful than their coming out of Egypt; They will exclaim, the Lord liveth which recently brought the children of Israel from the north, and from all lands whither he had driven them; and hath planted them in the land of Canaan which he gave our fathers. With this idea will be associated every display of grandeur and sublimity of wonder and amazement, while they call to mind the revelations, manifestations, miracles, and mercies displayed in bringing about this great event, in the eyes of all nations.
