And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me. And notwithstanding they have been carried away they shall return again, and possess the land of Jerusalem; wherefore, they shall be restored again to the land of their inheritance.
An example of both a literal prophecy and a spiritual reality: Nephi learned from Isasiah that because of iniquity, the Jews will be held captive by the wicked world, but eventually when they are humbled, they will return to their land. This is an allegory for what happens to us when we sin. We find ourselves cut off from the Spirit, and perhaps even cut off from the church for a while. But when we repent, Christ restores our blessings and will welcome us into his kingdom, which is our eternal promised land.
