Sign 9 – Colonization of America Begins

Year:1620

Scriptures:

1 Nephi 13:15-16
15 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain.
16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.

The Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles” means that many people who lived in Europe were inspired by God to Emigrate to the new world of America. Many immigrants came to America, beginning with the exodus of the Mayflower in 1620. They came to flee the tyranny of their European rulers and begin a new life in their newly inherited land. They were successful and prospered in their new found freedom.
