Then shall they know...

Then shall the Jews look upon me and say: What are these wounds in thine hands and in thy feet? Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto them: ... I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God. And then shall they weep. Doctrine & Covenants 45:51-53

The day of the Jew, the time when a nation will be born again in a day, is yet ahead. In fact, it is millennial. Though it is true that many of our Jewish brothers and sisters will receive the fulness of the gospel before the Lord returns, the day of mass conversion will begin with the Master’s appearance on the Mount of Olives. And what a day it shall be! It is difficult to imagine the pain and disappointment and even frustration in the hearts and minds of many of God’s chosen people as they discover that for more than two millennia they have rejected the Anointed One of Israel. In that day, the Jews will see the tokens of the crucifixion in the resurrected Lord and hear from his own mouth that he is indeed the Savior and Redeemer of all humankind. (Robert L.
