He Shall Make Bare His Arm

Lesson 2:

(1 Nephi 22:10-13)  “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.”

All peoples need to be blessed.  He will make bare His arm.  What a great time to be alive!  What a wonderful thing to witness: the power of God upon all nations!

“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.”

“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.”

Wow!  He brings His power, His covenants, His gospel, His freedom, and His light to all nations, to those of the house of Israel!

When I focus upon His works and His power, I realize that it is not about me.  His works will be done, and He will not be defeated!  I can’t fail, because the work is not my work but His work.  I stay on His side and He does the work and wins the glory.

“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  . . . .
