~AD 34

3 Nephi 29

The three disciples minister with power, and Mormon explains their immortal state. When the Lord's sayings come to the Gentiles, the covenant with Israel begins. People should not spurn the Lord's doings, for his sword of justice is ready. Woe to those who deny Christ or ongoing revelation. Do not mock the Jews or Israel's remnant.

God’s Promise to Israel Will Come True

When the Lord decides these words should go to the Gentiles, you will know something. You will know that the promise God made to Israel about getting their land back has already started to come true. You will know that the words the Lord spoke through the holy prophets will all come true. You don’t need to say that the Lord is taking too long to come to Israel. You don’t need to think in your hearts that the words spoken are useless. The Lord will remember his promise to his people of Israel.

Don’t Reject the Lord’s Works

When you see these words coming out among you, don’t reject what the Lord does anymore. The sword of his justice is in his right hand. At that time, if you reject his works, he will cause it to come upon you soon. Bad things will come to anyone who rejects what the Lord does. Bad things will come to anyone who denies Christ and his works. Bad things will come to anyone who denies the revelations of the Lord. Bad things will come to anyone who says the Lord no longer works by revelation, or by prophecy, or by gifts, or by tongues, or by healings, or by the power of the Holy Spirit. Bad things will come to anyone who says at that time that Jesus Christ can’t do miracles anymore. They might say this to make money. Anyone who does this will become like the son of perdition. There was no mercy for him, according to the word of Christ.

Don’t Make Fun of the Jews

You don’t need to make fun of the Jews anymore. You don’t need to reject them or laugh at any of the rest of Israel. The Lord remembers his promise to them. He will do for them what he promised. So you don’t need to think you can change the Lord’s plans. He will carry out his judgment to keep the promise he made to Israel.
