The Hearts of the Children Must be Turned to the Fathers

The promises made to the Fathers, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Ephraim, "a company of nations", material blessings associated with the birthright given to Ephraim. Ephraim gathered out "upon the head of the fat vallies of them that are overcome with wine". Woe to the crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, who err in vision and stumble in judgment, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one. Sceptre promise and birthright promise once more united in Davidic servants, the Rod and the Root of Jesse. Isaiah 11 quoted by Moroni 4 times repeatedly, over and over again, in one night to the Prophet Joseph Smith! Promises made to Hagar, "a wild man whose hand shall be against all his neighbors and his neighbors hand shall be against him."
