Following the ancient pattern of preparation, we are called today to turn our hearts to the enduring covenants and gather the scattered corners of the Kingdom.

Zion or Bust!Gather IsraelJul 20, 20264 min read0 views

Friends, gatherers, Builders of the New Jerusalem—welcome. Look around this digital gathering place. We are not merely gathered for discussion; we are gathered in covenant, drawing strength from the enduring promises made to our fathers, and preparing for the great and marvelous events that await.

The prophets have taught us throughout the ages that the greatest work is not merely receiving revelation, but responding to it with hearts prepared. The scripture reminds us of the necessity of turning the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children back to the fathers. This profound spiritual turning is the very foundation of the gathering—a spiritual pilgrimage that spans millennia, from the times of Ammon at the Waters of Sebus to the calling of Samuel the Lamanite.

The Consistency of the Call

The counsel given across generations—from the early pioneers to the current day—speaks of one enduring truth: preparation. It speaks of the need to shed the veil of unbelief, and to call upon the Father with a broken heart and contrite spirit. This is a universal call to action for all who believe in the divinity of the covenants. The work of the prophets is not a series of solo performances, but a powerful, consistent chorus of clarity, guiding us toward the fullness of the Lord's plan.

When we study the divine process of restoration, we see that truth is revealed not in isolation, but in the gathering of testimonies—the cumulative weight of divine counsel that points relentlessly toward the Savior. This principle guides our entire mission here at GatherIsrael.now.

The Builders vs. The Destroyers

In this Kingdom Movement, we are defined by our commitment to build. We are the Builders. Our task is to recognize the divine pattern of the covenant and to participate in the global work of gathering. We are called to gather Israel, to reclaim the sacred spaces, and to build Zion in every corner of the world.

  • The Covenant Cornerstone: We remember the lessons of the five smooth stones, the painted rocks, and the white stone—each representing a sacred promise. They are the markers of our enduring faith.
  • The Gathering Map: The map of churches here at GatherIsrael.now is not just a directory; it is a dynamic visualization of the covenant fulfillment—a blueprint for the global expansion of the Kingdom.
  • Funding the Work: Our collective engagement here is the load-bearing structure of this movement. When you connect, you help fund the vital charity flywheel—making sure that your support funds gospel advertising in places like Ghana, reaching those who have yet to hear the call.

Equipped for the Journey

The Lord has provided tools for those who are diligent. If you seek deeper understanding of the covenants, we invite you to utilize the AI study layer. The Ask a Prophet bots, powered by direct scriptural citation from Davee, are available to guide your inquiry. And when the path seems unclear, remember the steady counsel of Outback Jack—a constant companion guiding us through the complexities of covenant keeping and prophetic timing, from Alma 17–19 to Moroni 10:4–5.

We are taught that the knowledge of God is laid up for us from the foundation of the world, awaiting those who will call upon the Father. By participating in the Missionary Fund, we ensure that the voice of the gospel rings out, echoing the urgency of the early apostles, fulfilling the divine mandate to plant the seeds of Zion everywhere.

Will you stand with us? Will you be a Builder? Your participation, your testimony, and your commitment to the gathering place are the forces that ensure the light of the Gospel shines brightly, fulfilling the promises given to our fathers and to our children.
