The Time & Season
Gentiles? The Time and Season of the Gentiles
By Roger Knecht
Just as with the Parables of our Lord and Savior the word "Gentile" takes on a greater meaning when studied with the Spirit of Prophecy. To understand the word we needed to first know its history and from whence it came.
"Gentile" originates in The First Book of Moses called Genesis with reference to the descendants of Japheth, the son of Noah, (Gen. 10:2–5) as a general term referring to nations (Genesis 10:5, 20, 31, 32; 14:1, 9, Judges 4:2; 13, 16; Isaiah 11:10; etc.) and "heathen" (Nehemiah 5:8; Psalms 2:1, 8, etc.). Because of the covenants and blessings bestowed upon Abraham and his children, those, who were not of his lineage, were then called "Gentiles." When Jacob was named Israel and the House of Israel was established the term "Gentile" was used to designate the peoples of non-Israelite lineage. "Gentile" within the scriptures also came to designate the nations that were without the Gospel. Because the Bible comes from the House of Judah, the Jews began to call those who were not Jewish in practice or decent as "Gentiles." (Gentiles could convert to Judaism but they were then referred to as proselytes.) "Dr. Edward E. Nourse, writing for the Standard Bible Dictionary, says: "In New Testament times, the Jew divided mankind into three classes, (1) Jews, (2) Greeks (Hellenes, made to include Romans, thus meaning the civilized peoples of the Roman Empire, often rendered "Gentiles" in Authorized Version), and (3) barbarians (the uncivilized, Acts 28:4; Romans 1:14; 1 Corinthians. 14:11)."" (Jesus the Christ, Ch.21, Pg.345)
1 Nephi 13:1–3. The Gentiles
Elder Bruce R McConkie said: "Various meanings have been attached to the name Gentile in different ages, depending on the historical setting of the doctrinal teachings involved. Literally the meaning is, "of the same clan or race," and biblical revisions frequently substitute the word nations in its place. "The descendents of Noah's son Japheth were called Gentiles (Genesis 10:1–5), and in these sense the descendents of Shem… and Ham… would not be Gentiles. In the days of Abraham, the term was used to refer to those nations and peoples who had not descended from him, with the added assurance that all Gentiles who should receive the gospel would be adopted into the lineage of Abraham and be accounted his seed. (Teachings, pp 149-150)
In the days of ancient Israel, those not of the lineage of Jacob were considered to be Gentiles, although the Arabs and other races of Semitic origin who traced their lineage back to Abraham would not have been Gentiles in the strict Abrahamic use of the word.
"After the Kingdom of Israel was destroyed and the Ten tribes were led away into Assyrian captivity, those of the Kingdom of Judah called themselves Jews and designated all others as Gentiles. It is this concept that would have been taught to Lehi, Mulek and the other Jews who came to the Western Hemisphere to found the Nephite and Lamanite civilizations. It is not surprising, therefore, to find the Book of Mormon repeatedly speaking of Jew and Gentile as though this phrase marked a division between all men; to find the United States described as a Gentile Nation (1 Nephi 13; 3 Nephi 21); and to find the promise that the Book of Mormon would come forth "by way of the Gentile." (Title page of the Book of Mormon; Doctrine and Covenants 20:9.)" (Mormon Doctrine, pp 310-11).
In the Book of Mormon the Nephities maintained this tradition of calling those not of their group "Gentiles." However, through the history of the Nephities they also developed the term to mean much more. In the Book of Mormon there are common phrases used for a comparison of people, Jews and Gentiles, the House of Israel and the Gentiles, the remnant of Jacob and the Gentiles. That which is vastly misunderstood is that the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are seen by the writers of the Book of Mormon as "Gentiles." The Title Page of The Book of Mormon reads:
Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites–Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile . . . Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile–The interpretation thereof by the gift of God.
. . . Which is to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever– And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations… (Emphasis added in bold)
1 Nephi 13:34–35
… I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day, insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in my own power, much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.
For, behold, saith the Lamb: I will manifest myself unto thy seed, that they shall write many things which I shall minister unto them, which shall be plain and precious; and after thy seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief, and also the seed of thy brethren, behold, these things shall be hid up, to come forth unto the Gentiles, by the gift and power of the Lamb. (See also 1 Nephi 13:38–42) (Emphasis added in bold and underline)
1 Nephi 15:13–14
And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the grafting in of the natural branches through the fullness of the Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men, then shall the fullness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed—
And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people of the Lord; . . . (Emphasis added in bold and italics)
Ether 12:35
Wherefore, I know by this thing which thou hast said, that if the Gentiles have not charity, because of our weakness, that thou wilt prove them, and take away their talent, yea, even that which they have received, and give unto them who shall have more abundantly. (Emphasis added in bold and underline)
As the prophet Mormon prepared and wrote the history of this people he did so with an audience in mind. He knew for whom he was writing and how it would serve them. The last words of Mormon show the real intent of this work for the Lord. (Mormon chapter 7: Mormon invites the Lamanites of the latter days to repent, believe in Christ, be baptized, accept the gospel, and be saved.)
Words of Mormon 1:8
And my prayer to God is concerning my brethren, that they may once again come to the knowledge of God, yea, the redemption of Christ; that they may once again be a delightsome people.
We may want to look at ourselves as literal members of the House of Israel or at least adopted into it. However, as many Latter-day-Saints may be blood descendants of the House of Israel, to whatever degree, but because they come from the Gentile nations, with their customs and traditions, they have lost their claim to the House of Israel until they, as the Prodigal Son, repent and come home. For now they are still referred to as Gentiles in the Book of Mormon in these last days.
WP, Pg. 140 – Joseph Fielding Smith
Let us also remember that we are of the Gentiles! By this I mean that the latter-day Saints have come to their blessings through the Gentile Nations. President Brigham Young . . . said that Joseph Smith was a pure Ephraimite. This is true; yet Joseph Smith came also of Gentile Lineage. So do most members of the church. We may boast of our lineage and rejoice in the fact that patriarchs have declared us to be of Ephraim, but at the same time let us not despise the Gentiles, for we are also of them. If it were not so the scriptures would not be fulfilled. (1 Nephi 15:13–14; Ether 12:22)
Book of Mormon Student Manual 121and 122 (1989)
3 Nephi 16:5–15. Blessings Reserved for the Gentiles
The covenant the Father made with the house of Israel included the blessings of the gospel, "which are the blessings of salvation, even of life eternal" (Abraham 2:11). When the house of Israel rejected the gospel in its fullness, its blessings were removed and given to the Gentiles, hence the Savior"s words that the Gentiles too would receive the fullness of the gospel (see 3 Nephi 16:6–7)
When the Gentiles reject the gospel, the word of the Lord will be taken from them and given back to the house of Israel (see vv. 10-12). If the Gentiles then repent and return unto the Lord, "behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel" (see v.13). Should the Gentiles continue to reject the covenant, however, they will be trodden down and cast out from the promised blessings (see v. 15). (Emphasis added in bold)
When we accept the Gospel, are we not included into the House of Israel, becoming the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? The answer of course is yes, yet when we read the scriptures we must still remember who we truly are and not what we can become. In the Book of Mormon the writers teach us that we have a mission to fulfill and they continually refer to us as the "Gentiles." At the dedication of the Kirtland Temple, Joseph Smith said, "Now these words, O Lord, we have spoken before thee, concerning the revelations and Commandments which thou hast given unto us, who are identified with the Gentiles" (Doctrine and Covenants 109:60). I believe that the Book of Mormon is also very plain with regards to this idea as well. References such as the following, and others, help too more fully clarify this principle:
1 Nephi 10:14
And after the house of Israel should be scattered they should be gathered together again; or, in fine, after the Gentiles had received the fullness of the Gospel, the natural branches of the olive-tree, or the remnants of the house of Israel, should be grafted in, or come to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their Lord and their Redeemer.
1 Nephi 14:1–2
And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed, unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks–
And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God, they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father; yea, they shall be numbered among the House of Israel; and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever; they shall be no more brought down into captivity; and the house of Israel shall no more be confounded.
Discourses of Brigham Young Pg.121 – Pg.122
By and by the Jews will be gathered to the land of their fathers, and the ten tribes, who wandered into the north, will be gathered home, and the blood of Ephraim, the second son of Joseph, who was sold into Egypt, which is to be found in every kingdom and nation under heaven, will be gathered from among the Gentiles, and the Gentiles who will receive and adhere to the principles of the Gospel will be adopted and initiated into the family of Father Abraham, and Jesus will reign over his own and Satan will reign over his own. 12:38. (Emphasis added in bold)
The scriptures use the term "Gentiles" as both good and evil. We cannot, as Latter-day Saints, place ourselves in the position as to think that we are always the good. The Prophets of God have said, that the pride of the people, this people, will get in the way of the work of the Lord and it will bring many of us to our own damnation.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 18 Pg. 112 – Wilford Woodruff
… Everything that Jesus Christ spake concerning Judea and Jerusalem has had its fulfillment to the very letter. The temple at Jerusalem was overthrown until not one stone was left upon another, and the Jews have been scattered and trodden under the feet of the Gentiles now for eighteen hundred years, and so they will remain until the Times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, and that is pretty near. And, as the Lord has told us in these revelations, we are called upon to warn the world.
We have been laboring now for forty-five years in preaching the gospel of Christ throughout the Gentile Nations. We say Gentiles, because the Gospel goes to the
Gentiles first, that the first may be last and the last first. Anciently the Jews were first in having the Gospel sent unto them, but they rejected it, and they were broken off through unbelief, and hence the Gospel turned to the Gentiles; and, as Paul says – 'Ye Gentiles, take heed and fear, lest ye fall through the same example of unbelief, for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed also lest He spare not ye.' The Gentiles are fallen through the same example of unbelief as did the Jews. They have put to death every Prophet, Apostle and inspired man since the days of Jesus Christ, and the church went into the wilderness, and the face of a prophet in the day and age in which we live. Therefore the Gospel brought forth in the last days has to go to the Gentiles first. Sometimes our neighbors and friends think hard of us because we call them gentiles; but, bless our souls, we are all Gentiles. The latter-day saints are all Gentiles in a national capacity. The Gospel came to us among the Gentiles. We are not Jews, and the gentiles nations have got to hear the Gospel first. The whole Christian world have got to hear the Gospel, and when they reject it, the law will be bound and the testimony sealed, and it will turn to the House of Israel. Up to the present day we have been called to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles, and we have had to do it. For the last time we have been warning the world, and we have been engaged in that work for forty five years. (Emphasis added in underline)
The reason for so much of this confusion today is that we need to better understand the "Times of the Fullness of the Gentiles." It is this that the Prophets of the Book of Mormon are trying to teach to us and very few of us today sees or speaks of it. (See Joseph Smith—History 1:41)
Brigham Young, Pg.437
It is obligatory upon us to see that the House of Israel have the Gospel preached to them; to do all that is in our power to gather them to the land of their fathers, and to gather up the fullness of the Gentiles before the Gospel can go with success to the Jews. 12:113.
1 Nephi 13:42
And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations, both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. (Emphasis added in bold)
Doctrine and Covenants 14:10
Wherefore, I must bring forth the fullness of my Gospel from the Gentiles unto the House of Israel. (Emphasis added in bold)
Ether 13:12 (Read 13:6-11)
And when these things come, bringeth to pass the scripture which saith, there are they who were first, who shall be last; and there are they who were last, who shall be first.
Understand that God"s love for his children is unquestionable; however, he is a God of order and purpose. His going to the world to preach His gospel in these later days is summed up as with the words of Avraham Gileadi.
The fact that Israel was absorbed into the nations of the earth lays a groundwork for the gospel to come to them. Because the gospel belongs to Israel by right of election, there was now a reason for the Lord to offer it to the world. After Israel"s exile, two kinds of Israelites would exist: (1) those who, like the faithful son in Jesus" parable (see Luke 15:31), would retain their identity or ethnic; and (2) those who, like the prodigal son (Luke 15:32), would lose their identity by assimilating among the nations. The Gentiles thus play an essential role in fulfilling the Lord"s covenant with Abraham that in his offspring all kindreds of the earth would be blessed with the Gospel (1 Nephi 15:13–18). (The Last Days, Types and Shadows from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, Pg.118)
(See also Doctrine and Covenants 14:10)
1 Nephi 22:8–9
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.
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.
Because of the mixing of Ephraim"s blood throughout the world, it opens the way for all God"s children to receive the Gospel with the covenants of Israel. "If the Gentiles are to receive the covenant blessings they must be numbered in the House of Israel; with Israel they may inherit her promises. (The Last Days, Types and Shadows from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, Pg.119)." (See 2 Nephi 10:18; 3 Nephi 16:13; 21:6, 22; 30:2.) The Gentiles receive the blessing of the Gospel because the Lords covenant people apostatize. Israel"s hope in the last days is in the Gentiles. Nephi did see this day when he said that the salvation of Israel is "by way the Gentile" (1 Nephi 15:17).
The Gentiles are blessed in these latter days as we receive the gospel and Israel"s blessings after she apostatizes and is exiled. But Israel receives back her blessings because of her covenant with God and our rejection of the Gospel.
Just as when those of Ancient Israel wanted a king the LDS shall go through cycles of worldliness. Israel insisted upon having kings rather than judges and it is because of her betrayal of God"s will that Ancient Israel will suffer the penalty for having gone against the Lord. After suffering such a rejection by His people the Lord still called them His own and continued to call them to repentance (1 Samuel 8).
During these modern days the Lord suffers through similar heartaches. In Doctrine and Covenants section 101 it reads of the Lords vineyard. "Even though the vineyard is out of order He still calls it His own."
Doctrine and Covenants 45:28–30
And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fullness of my gospel; But they receive it not; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men. And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. (Emphasis added in bold)

When the Almighty, in the present century, sent forth an angel from heaven, as we hear this forenoon, and restored the Gospel and the authority and power to preach it and administer its ordinances, and organized this church on the earth, and sent forth his servants to all nations so far as they would open their doors to receive them, they were fulfilling the commands of the Most High given by an angel. We have been forty years, since the angel came, fulfilling that prediction; how many more years the Lord may bear with the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles before they are cut off I do not know. How many more years will pass over our heads that we will have the privilege of declaring the fullness of the everlasting Gospel among the nations of the Gentiles is not revealed. All that we know on the subject is what the Lord told us some forty years ago, that the times of the Gentiles would be fulfilled in the generation in which he established his Church, that is, that before the generation living forty years ago have all passed away the times of the Gentiles will be fulfilled. (D&C 130:14–15 I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following: Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eight-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter.-1890-) And what then? The prediction of Isaiah, in another place, will be literally fulfilled – the "law will be bound up and the testimony sealed" so far as sending the Gospel to the Gentile nations is concerned.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 9, p.150, Brigham Young
I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by Him. I am fearful they settle down in a state of self security, trusting their eternal destiny in the hands of their leaders with a reckless confidence that in itself would thwart the purpose of God in their salvation, and weaken that influence they could give to their leaders, did they know for themselves, by the revelations of Jesus, that they are led in the right way. Let every man and woman know, by the whispering of the Spirit of God to themselves, whether their leaders are walking in the path the Lord dictates or not.
1 Nephi 14:5–7
And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying: Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with them; and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto the House of Israel; and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish. Therefore, Wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God. For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a great and marvelous work among the children of men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other — either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, OR, unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also into destruction both temporally and spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken. (Emphasis added in capitalization, bold and underline)

Gentiles, to whom the gospel was to be given, received it, and the gifts and graces of the Church, which were before enjoyed by Israel were now manifested among the Gentiles. But behold, they corrupted themselves, after having received the kingdom. (See D&C 45:25)
Doctrine and Covenants 45:28–30
And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fullness of my gospel (The reader should notice that the footnote to the word gospel reads – TG Restoration of the Gospel and that the Doctrine and Covenants commentary states that this is another sign by which the end of the time
of the Gentiles may be known. This is the "fullness of the gospel," as revealed through the Prophet Joseph.)
But they receive it not; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men. (See 3N 16:10) And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Saint George Temple dedication, Celestial Marriage, p.2
Hear it, ye Elders of Israel, and mark it down in your log books, the fullness of the Gospel is the United Order and the order of Plural Marriage, and I fear that when I am gone, this people will give up these two principles which we prize so highly; and if they do, this Church cannot advance as God wishes for it to advance.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. 5, p.203,
You might and well deny "Mormonism" and turn away from it, as to oppose the plurality of wives. Let the Presidency of this Church, and the Twelve Apostles, and all the authorities unite and say with one voice that they will oppose that doctrine, and the whole of them would be damned.
Journal of Discourses, Vol. ?, p.344-45.
… if these principles of the United Order were so important in former days, and the Lord by some thirteen revelations or more, has made them manifest to his Saints, and the results of disobedience were such as we see, why should we not consider them of some importance at the present time? And would the Lord find fault with the people, if the Latter-day Saints would strive with all their hearts to conform to them? And would we not feel ourselves better prepared to go back and build up Jackson County, the Center Stake of Zion? Would we expect to go back unless we complied with the law in all things, and in consequence of disobedience to which, the people were expelled from that country? It is argued by some that when the principle of tithing came in, it superseded the principle of the United Order. The Law of Moses was given to be a school-master, to bring the people to a knowledge of the Son of God, and induce them to obey the principles of the fullness of the Gospel. The higher law was given to the children of Israel when they were first delivered from Egyptian bondage, but in consequence of their disobedience, the Gospel was withdrawn, and the law of carnal commandments was added. Now, do you imagine that there would have been any wrong if the people wanted to find the principles of the higher law and obey them as near as circumstances would admit? Do you suppose it would have been wrong to search out the fullness of the Gospel, while living under the Mosiac law? But, in the Book of Mormon we find this point more fully illustrated. We find that the inhabitants of the continent had a knowledge of the fullness of the everlasting Gospel and were baptized for the remission of sins, many generations before Jesus came into the world. We find that Alma was baptized in the waters of Mormon, and some four hundred and fifty other individuals. Alma, by his energy and perseverance, had discovered the fullness of the Gospel and obtained revelations from the Lord, and the privilege of observing the Gospel in all its fullness and blessings. Do you think the Lord was angry with him? They were under the Mosiac law, and yet considered it a blessing to observe the higher law.
Now I will say regard to the matter of tithing, I think that law was given to the Latter-day Saints, one object being to prepare them for, and conduct them to, the United Order, that they might not fall into the same error as the people who were driven from the State of Missouri, but gradually be inducted into these higher principles.
… Remember, while the Gospel in its fullness was observed by Alma and his bretheren, and by many thousands in different ages of the world, they lived under the Mosaic Law, and cannot the Latter-day Saints under the law of tithing, observe the fullness of the gospel?
3 Nephi 16:7, 10–16
Behold, because of their belief in me, saith the Father, and because of the unbelief of you, O House of Israel, in the latter day shall the truth come unto the Gentiles, that the fullness of these things shall be made known unto them.
And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fullness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts" above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manners of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fullness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fullness of my gospel from among them.
And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them.
And I will show unto thee, O House of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O House of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fullness of my gospel.
But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.
And I will not suffer my people, who are of the House of Israel, to go through among them, and tread them down, saith the Father.
But if they will not turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, I will suffer them, yea, I will suffer my people, O House of Israel, that they shall go through among them, and shall tread them down, and they shall be as salt that hath lost its savor, which is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of my people, O House of Israel.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, thus hath the Father commanded me–that I should give unto this people this land for their inheritance. (Emphasis added in bold)
2 Nephi 28:32
Wo be unto the Gentles, saith the Lord God of Host! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Host.
Those who reject the Gospel are those who have it. Many latter-day Saints will do exactly as the House of Israel did before the Meridian of Time and reject the Fullness of the Gospel.
Mormon 8:38
O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies–because of the praise of the world?
The House of Israel will not be reestablished until the Ten Tribes have returned and the Time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. Some latter-day Saints are literal descendants of the Tribes of Israel but their true gathering by the Lord is yet to be.
During these latter-days, people here in America, also speak of this land as if it is ours forever, a land consecrated for our gain. "This land is our Land" is nothing more than a hopeful cry but once again what do the scriptures say? This land, the "Promised Land," is not ours, "But behold, this land, said God, shall be a land of thine inheritance, and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land" (2 Nephi 10:10). We are blessed here and we have prospered but we must remember that it is only for a season…
1 Nephi 13:15
And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain. (Emphasis added in bold)
1Nephi 13:30–31
Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles who have gone forth out of captivity, and have been lifted up by the power of God above all other nations, upon the face of the land which is choice above all other lands, which is the land that the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father that his seed should have for the land of their inheritance; wherefore, thou seest that the Lord God will not suffer that the Gentiles will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed, which are among thy brethren.
Neither will he suffer that the Gentiles shall destroy the seed of thy brethren. (Emphasis added in bold)
1 Nephi 10:19
Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy seed, and them who shall be numbered among thy seed, forever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, saith God unto me, above all other lands, wherefore I will have all men that dwell thereon that they shall worship me, saith God. (Emphasis added in bold)
TPJS Section One 1830-34 Pg.17 Zion and Jerusalem
The Book of Mormon is a record of the forefathers of our western tribes of Indians; having been found through the ministration of a holy angel, and translated into our own language by the gift and power of God, after having been hid up in the earth for the last fourteen hundred years, containing the word of God which was delivered unto them. By it we learn that our western tribes of Indians are descendants from that Joseph who was sold into Egypt, and that the land of America is a promised land unto them, and unto it all the tribes of Israel will come, with as many of the Gentiles as shall comply with the requisitions of the new covenant. (See also Doctrine and Covenants 45:24–25) (Emphasis added in bold)
3 Nephi 20: 15–16
And I say unto you, that if the Gentiles do not repent after the blessing which they shall receive, after they have scattered my people–
Then shall ye, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be in the midst of them who shall be many; and ye shall be among them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
The LDS Church will not even build the New Jerusalem as many of them would hope
(3 Nephi 21:22–24). In the book titled The Articles of Faith we can see this doctrine laid out in both black and white: the Gentiles, if repentant, are to be permitted to assist the house of Israel in building the city to be called the New Jerusalem–3 Nephi 21:14–24. (AOF, Ch.19, Pg.355)
The LDS are a Gentile church. We have been given the Gospel in these latter days and many of us will reject it. We are failing our test. We must repent.
3 Nephi 26:6–11
And now there cannot be written in this book even a hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly teach unto the people;
But behold the plates of Nephi do contain the more part of the things which he taught the people.
And these things have I written, which are a lesser part of the things which he taught the people; and I have written them to the intent that they may be brought again unto this people, from the Gentiles, according to the words which Jesus hath spoken.
And when they shall have received this, which is expedient that they should have first, to try their faith, and if it shall so be that they shall believe these things then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them.
And if it so be that they will not believe these things, then shall the greater things be withheld from them, unto their condemnation.
Behold, I was about to write them, all which were engraven upon the plates of Nephi, but the Lord forbade it, saying: I will try the faith of my people. (See Ether 4:4, 2 Nephi 27:7–22) (Emphasis added in bold and italics)
Ether 4: 6–7
For the Lord said unto me: they shall not go forth unto the gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the lord. And in that day they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, . . . then will I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, The Gospel will return to the true House of Israel and a few of us gentiles who are willing to accept and live the Fullness of the Gospel will be taken into that covenant with God. All of this is to help prepare us for when the Times of the Gentiles is fulfilled. We must understand who we are and what part we play in the plan of our God. We are the Gentiles, the people who are to take the Gospel to the House of Israel in these latter-days.

It was passed 9:20am and I was waiting for cab. I called company four more times and still cab didn't show up. It was already 10:00am when I called another taxi company and they took less than 10 minutes to pick me up after I had called. I was already on my way to the airport when I received the call from the DFW Reliable Taxi- Airport Taxi Service Dallas saying that they were outside my house waiting for me. By then, it was already 10:15am. Don't use this taxi company, they are extremely unreliable. Won't use their service again.

We all often hear most of the people saying that somebody or the other could be so successful in life, having been born under a certain astrological sign. This fuels our inquisitive bent of mind, and we too, at that point of time, if we are not aware of course of our own zodiac sign, feel like discovering what is our own astrological sign that we were born under. It is of course known by most people than not, as to what is their own zodiac sign that they were born under. But for those of you who are not aware of, fret not, as here in this particular article, we bring before you points on how to find out the zodiac sign of someone. Having said that, another thing to mention at this point of time is that each and every astrological sign, irrespective of its planetary influence, has in it certain bad as well as good qualities in it, found in the people born under them.
If you are thinking how to find out the zodiac sign, then one thing for you to know is that birth sign is generally considered as the place or the position the sun was in the Zodiac at the time he or she was born. As is known by most of the people, the zodiac comprises twelve different divisions or parts that the sun goes through in the year and each of them has its own unique name and period of duration. Zodiac sign mainly means that the particular characteristics of the horoscope of the individual are based on the location of the sun's astrological position of the zodiac at the time of birth of the person. For this very reason, it is at times, also called as the birth sign or the sun sign of the certain individual. While by the term 'sun sign' is usually meant a powerful tool in order to define the characteristics, it however, does not consider the astrological influence of the other planets of the zodiac or the ascendants location.
It has come to be accepted as well as believed that each and every person born under a particular astrological sign exhibits similar behavioral and personality traits belonging to that certain astrological sign. For this very reason, people born under one particular astrological sign usually gets along well with another individual born under that same astrological sign. But at times, even the opposite of that happens and both of them do not get along well with each other at all.
The zodiac sign of a person, in fact, corresponds to the position of the sun in relation to the other constellations as they have appeared in the sky more than 2,200 years ago. From the earth, this position of the sun had been seen passing through the constellations forming the zodiac namely – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. In the earlier times the astrological sign of an individual was determined by finding out the constellation the sun was in on the date of birth of the person.
The astronomers of the earlier times used to closely observe the sun as it traveled from one astrological sign to another in the course of a year and they considered one month for each of the planets of the zodiac. In this way, they calculated that each constellation extends thirty degrees around the ecliptic.
However, because of a phenomenon known as the precession has altered the manner in which the constellations are placed in today's times. It is actually the astrological position of the planets as well as their relation to one another, be it favorable or unfavorable, is what makes up the real zodiac profile of the individual. Actually, astrology based only on the birth sign or the sun sign gives a very limited glimpse of the person.
The following is how to find out the zodiac sign of an individual by determining the date of birth:
Capricorn: January 20 to Feb 16
Aquarius: February 16 to March 11
Pisces: March 11 to April 18
Aries: April 18 to May 13
Taurus: May 13 to June 21
Gemini: June 21 to July 20
Cancer: July 20 to August 10
Leo: August 10 to September 16
Virgo: September 16 to October 30
Libra: October 30 to November 23
Scorpio: November 23 to November 29
Ophiuchus: November 29 to December 17
Sagittarius: December 17 to January 20
Another important thing to take into consideration apart from this is, if you were born near the beginning or end of an astrological sign, it means that you were born 'on the cusp'. For such a person, it is best advised that he or she go through the predictions for both the zodiac signs since he or she is a blend of both the signs. With all of these knowledge, now you are in a better position to figure out how to find out the zodiac sign.

It seems the root cause of my problem was not what android-ndk I used but rather I needed to install https://aur.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs and then https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libtinfo to get android-ndk to find libtinfo.so.5.

@jayeffkay If an archive fails to extract, it's usually caused by a full partition. Could it be that the partition is full?
jayeffkay commented on 2017-04-04 11:58
I was using the android-ndk download via Android studio plugin, but got "ndk-bundle/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", so I ended up here with the presumption that this is the android-ndk to use with arch linux.
But I get

@farseerfc will at next release, thx (really an upstream issue to use a weird versioning scheme, though)
farseerfc commented on 2017-01-07 07:44
pacman thinks r13b < r13 < r13.b according to `man pacman` and `man vercmp`.
Please use a version schema like "r13" -> "r13.a" -> "r13.b" so not to confuse pacman.

Housing strong on low interest rates
May 3, 2004,
Building on February's gains and recovering from a deep slide in January, the broad American housing market made another strong advance during March, with all three sectors helped by improving weather and low interest rates.
Housing starts, a guide to home builder confidence and future sale activity, improved 6.4 percent, to a seasonal 2 million units. Sales of older, and generally less costly, existing homes, climbed 5.7 percent, to a seasonal level of 6.5 million units.
The gains were spotty when measured on a regional basis, with the Northeastern states notably weak performers. There, sales of new homes tumbled 24.3 percent, while housing starts fell 4.9 percent, and sales of existing homes were unchanged.
David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, said low interest rates get most of the credit for last month's robust performance, but added that interest rates are now rising, which could have an impact on sales down the road.
"Although interest rates are rising modestly, an improving job market is creating a favorable backdrop for home sales, but at a somewhat slower pace in the months ahead," he said.
David Seiders, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders, said rising interest will be offset by other factors.
"Though interest rates are beginning to rise as the economy improves, we still expect the housing market to remain strong because the fundamentals — household incomes, employment and household formations — are strong," he added.
The national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional fixed-rate mortgage was 5.45 percent in March, the second-lowest on record and down from 5.64 percent in February. Rates are now even lower than a year ago, when they were 5.75 percent in March 2003. The record low is 5.23 percent set in June 2003.

This invention pertains generally to networking and, more particularly, to a system for aiding a user in configuring a network connection.
As the use of computers has become increasing widespread in home and business environments alike, the need to interconnect such computers has also become important. For example, in a home environment, a user may wish to connect to a home network, such as a wireless network including for example one or more computers and perhaps one or more peripheral devices as well. Alternatively the user may wish to connect to a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. Similarly, in business contexts, users often need to use networks to communicate internally as well as to communicate externally, such as to customers, suppliers, etc. In any case, the user needs to initially configure a connection to the appropriate network, i.e., via the appropriate software and hardware.
However, the typical computer user, especially in the home environment but also in other environments, is not a computer expert. To such users, setting up a functioning network connection often requires skills or knowledge that they do not possess. The typical connection configuration process involves the use of a separate software entity sometimes referred to as a "wizard," that guides the user through some basic aspects of the configuration. However, for unsophisticated users, this is not enough, and the configuration attempt fails. There are two primary causes of such failure. The first is that the user has attempted to connect using nonexistent networking hardware. For example, an Ethernet connection cannot be successfully established if the computer in question lacks the appropriate networking card. A secondary cause of failure is that appropriate hardware and network exist, but the user configures the connection incorrectly.
A system of user guidance is needed that solves these shortcomings and others inherent in prior systems of network connection configuration.
Embodiments of the invention solve the shortcomings inherent in prior techniques by determining what network connections are possible and presenting only those options to the user. In addition, user guidance and connection testing techniques are used to ensure successful network connection configuration.
In an embodiment of the invention, when a user launches the "New Connection Wizard" the system automatically detects available networking hardware and networks that are available. The wizard then presents the user with a list of choices, i.e., different connection types that they can set up. This list of options is based on the hardware and networks that were detected initially. Thus, the wizard will only present the user with the connection types that can actually be utilized; for instance the wizard will not display a WiFi option if there are no wireless networks in range or if WiFi networking equipment not installed.
Once the user has selected a connection type and completed the configuration through the wizard, the wizard will automatically test the connection. To test the connection, the system connects silently in the background, tests for Internet connectivity, disconnects in the background, and reports success or failure to the user
The result of the foregoing methodology according to an embodiment of the invention is that the user is not asked to determine hardware or network type(s) but instead the system presents "smart choices" to the user, i.e. connections that they can actually create. Moreover, the new connection created by the user will be tested to ensure correct functionality. Thus, the typical user will be more successful in creating desired network connections, increasing user satisfaction and decreasing user failure and support calls.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments which proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.
While the appended claims set forth the features of the invention with particularity, the invention and its advantages are best understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which:
Embodiments of the invention pertain generally to assisting a user in network connection configuration. As noted above, even with the guidance of a traditional "wizard," users are often having difficulty in successfully configuring a connection to a network. In overview, embodiments of the invention aid the user by presenting a list of smart choices, i.e. choices for which a network connection could be established, and then testing the configured connection to assure success.
At step 105, the wizard determines which network connections may be made. This entails in an embodiment of the invention detecting networking hardware and connectivity (i.e. a network for the hardware to connect to). Hardware types include, but are not limited to modem hardware, wireless 802.11 and/or 802.16 (Wi-Max) networking hardware, Bluetooth networking hardware, GSM/CDMA network hardware, and Ethernet network hardware. Network types include but are not limited to Ethernet (requiring no authentication), WiFi (802.11 networks), 802.16 (Wi-Max) networks, GSM/CDMA networks, Bluetooth PAN networks, and dial-up modem connections.
In step 107, the wizard presents network connections options to the user, wherein the options include only those networking mechanisms for which a network connection is possible. For example, if WiFi connection hardware exists but there is no wireless network in range, then a WiFi option is not presented to the user. The user selects an option in step 109. Subsequently in step 111, the wizard creates the network connection, querying the user when necessary, and then in step 113 the wizard tests the connection just made to ensure that the connection has been successfully configured. Finally, in step 115, the wizard reports to the user the status of the configuration attempt. For example, the wizard may indicate "connection successfully configured" or "connection configuration failed." In the event that the configuration attempt fails, the wizard also indicates in an embodiment of the invention one or more reasons for the failure where possible.
The process of determining whether a connection is possible with respect to five network types is illustrated in the flow charts of
The user machine 801 also generally contains a number of other elements, as will be described below. Other elements that may be present and are relevant here include a number of network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823. These modules typically contain hardware, such as a network adapter card, as well as software, such as a driver. In an embodiment of the invention, the hardware and network detection module 807 and the testing module 809 communicate with the network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823 via an appropriate driver as will be appreciated.
The network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823 each support a different connection mechanism. The RAS Dial-up connection module 811, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available network, allows modem connectivity from the user machine 801. The RAS VPN connection module 813, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available network, allows VPN connectivity from the user machine 801. The RAS PPPoE connection module 815, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available network, allows PPPoE connectivity from the user machine 801. The WiFi connection module 817, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available wireless network, allows WiFi connectivity from the user machine 801. The WWAN connection module 819, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available wireless network, allows WWAN connectivity from the user machine 801. The Bluetooth PAN connection module 821, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available Bluetooth network, allows Bluetooth PAN connectivity from the user machine 801. Finally, the Wi-Max (802.16) connection module 823, if present in conjunction with an appropriate available 802.16 network, allows Wi-Max connectivity from the user machine 801.
The interactions among the components of the user machine 801 and the wizard 803 are as follows. The user interface generation module 805 presents a visual interface to the user of the machine 801 when the wizard is invoked and operational. The types of information displayed to the user include selectable connection options including a selectable manual connection option, configuration instructions, configuration results, diagnostic information, and so on.
The connection options are generated by the hardware and network detection module 807 in conjunction with the network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823 of the user machine 801 as described above. Namely, the hardware and network detection module 807 verifies the existence of appropriate hardware and an appropriate network. The hardware and network detection module 807 passes the generated options to the user interface generation module 805 for display to the user.
Upon selection and configuration of a network connection option by the user via the user interface, the user interface generation module 805 passes the selection to the testing module 809, which uses the appropriate one of the network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823 of the user machine 101 to verify the configured connection. To this end, the testing module 809, via an appropriate one of the network connection modules 811, 813, 815, 817, 819, 821, and 823, connects silently in the background, tests for Internet or other network connectivity, disconnects in the background, and reports success or failure to the user interface generation module 805. The user interface generation module 805 in turn gives the user a display indicating success or failure of the connection configuration.

Referring to
The computer 902 may also have additional features/functionality. For example, computer 902 may also include additional storage (removable 910 and/or non-removable 912) including, but not limited to, magnetic or optical disks or tape. Computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information, including computer-executable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory, CD-ROM, digital versatile disk (DVD) or other optical storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to stored the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer 902. Any such computer storage media may be part of computer 902.
The computer 902 preferably also contains communications connections 914 that allow the device to communicate with other devices such as remote computer(s) 916. A communication connection is an example of a communication medium. Communication media typically embody computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. By way of example, and not limitation, the term "communication media" includes wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. The term "computer-readable medium" as used herein includes both computer storage media and communication media. Exemplary communications connections usable within embodiments of the invention include, but are not limited to, a dial-up connection, VPN connection, PPPoE connection, WiFi connection, WWAN connection and Bluetooth connection.
The computer 902 may also have input devices 918 such as a keyboard/keypad, mouse, pen, voice input device, touch input device, etc. Output devices 920 such as a display, speakers, a printer, etc. may also be included. All these devices are well known in the art and need not be described at length here.
Having described the connection wizard according to various embodiments of the invention, several usage scenarios will now be described. For the first example, assume that a person, Abby, would like to connect to the Internet via dial-up modem (RAS dial-up) using an existing account. Abby's new PC has a built in modem and Bluetooth adapter. Abby needs to set-up the new PC to access the Internet. Once Abby unpacks the computer and turns it on, she finds herself viewing a welcome screen which presents her with various options one of which is "Connect to the Internet". Abby selects this option and the wizard described above launches.
The wizard asks Abby if she already has an ISP to which she answers "yes." The wizard then checks Abby's PC to determine methods of connection and after a few seconds presents Abby with the choice of configuring either a Broadband or dial-up connection. Abby chooses dial-up and proceeds. The wizard then asks Abby for credentials for the connection and an ISP telephone number. Abby enters all of the information requested and hits a "next" selectable UI element. The wizard then builds and tests the connection. After a short period, the default browser launches allowing Abby to browse the Internet.
As a second example, consider the case of creating a broadband (DSL/Cable modem PPPoE) connection using an existing account. The example proceeds as above until the wizard presents Abby with the choice of configuring either a Broadband or dial-up connection. This time, Abby chooses Broadband and proceeds. The wizard then asks Abby for the credentials for the connection. Abby enters the information requested and hits "next." The wizard then builds and tests the connection. After a short period, Abby's default browser launches allowing Abby to browse the Internet.
As noted above, the wizard is also able to allow manual connection as in the following example. John is the administrator of a small business network. A new member of the sales team requires Internet access when they are at customer sites, and has requested help with configuration and set-up. John's company has a small business account with an ISP, so he can easily create and configure the connection. Unfortunately the user in question has left their PC card modem at home. Since the card is required to make a connection possible, the wizard will not display an option to create a dial-up connection.
John logs onto the laptop and launches the wizard. The wizard checks the laptop to determine methods of connection and after a few seconds, presents John with a list of options. As John does not see an option for configuring a dial-up connection he selects a manual configuration option such as denoted by the phrase "I'd prefer to use another way." John is then shown a list of every connection type from which he selects "Dial-up modem". John completes the wizard and shows the user how to use the RAS connection.
A number of user interface types and configurations are usable within embodiment of the invention. For example, the wizard may host its own window or may be hosted within another program's or entity's windows, such as a browser, file system navigator. In addition, the wizard user interface preferably provides tools for easy navigation within the wizard as well as manipulation of the wizard's window. An example user interface according to an early stage of the connection process, after the wizard has been invoked, is shown in
The frame contains within it information 1015, typically in textual form but possibly also including graphical or other information. The individual lines of information may be selectable, so as to cause the wizard to perform in the selected manner. For example, if the line "I want to configure connection manually" is selected by the user in this embodiment of the invention, then the wizard presents the UI elements to guide the user through manual configuration. Alternatively, or additionally, bullets or icons 1017 next to the lines may be selectable.

[Susan notes: Here's a great warning to librarians: Librarians need to climb aboard the anti-testing train, for until high-stakes testing ends, no book is safe.]
Published in School Library Journal
To the editor
As a former school librarian now in higher ed, I am glad to see the research-based argument that Rebecca Miller puts forth in her editorial, "The Cost of Cuts," for more reading and fewer cuts to library services. Apparently, though, SLJ did not get the memo about the Rotted Common Core, which is designed to function as the testing delivery system for the education deformers who are addicted to the multi-billion dollar business of standardized testing. As long as high-stakes testing continues, so will the slashing of educational services by the modern day efficiency zealots in charge at ED. Librarians need to climb aboard the anti-testing train, for until high-stakes testing ends, no book is safe. In solidarity.
