God Scattered Israelites on Islands Around the World
Journal of Discourses 14:333; “Here let me say again, according to the Book of Mormon, many of those great islands that are found in the Indian Ocean, also in the great Pacific Sea, have been planted with colonies of Israelites. Do they not resemble each other? Go to the Sandwich Islands, to the South Sea Islands, to Japan‑‑go to the various islands of the Pacific Ocean, and you find a general resemblance in the characters and countenances of the people. Who are they? According to the Book of Mormon, Israelites were scattered forth from time to time, and colonies planted on these islands of the ocean.” – Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, February 11, 1872
Proverbs 12:19; “The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”
So what did God do? Did He just plop a group of Israelites onto random islands around the world?
If so, when and how did He do this?
Are the indigenous people of the islands he mentioned aware of this?
