THE SECOND COMING OF THE SAVIOR, Pages 94-97, Ch 10 of The Gathering of Israel by Ogden Kraut   http://www.fundamentallymormon.com/2019/05/the-second-coming-of-savior-pages-94-97.html?m=1   When the righteous are thus gathered they will then be prepared for the coming of the Messiah. (Brigham Young, J.D. 12:163) It is clearly evident from the scriptures that only the Saints who are gathered will be prepared for the Second Coming of the Savior. If the Saints are not gathered, they will not be prepared and therefore must suffer the consequences. Many of the early apostles placed the gathering of the Saints in conjunction with the coming of the Savior. Consider the statements of these inspired apostles. Strangers may inquire, what has this great gathering to do with preparing the way before the coming of his Son? Could you not all remain scattered abroad among the nations and be prepared just as well? I answer, that if God had commanded us to remain among the nations in our scattered condition, that would have been right, and acceptable before him; but on the other hand, if God has spoken, as we declare that he has, and his voice has been heard, and messengers have been called and sent forth by divine command, and revelation has been given, not only for the people to obey the gospel but also to gather out and assemble themselves in one, then we could not be prepared for his coming without obeying the divine command.
