ÒBehold, Ether saw the
days of Christ, and he spake concerning a New
Jerusalem upon this land [author Moroni
is writing in W Hemisphere]. And he spake also concerning the house of Israel, and the Jerusalem from whence Lehi should come [Jerusalem in E Hemisphere] – after it should be destroyed it should be built up again, a holy city unto the Lord; wherefore it could not be a new Jerusalem, for it had been in a time of oldÉÓ
– Ether 13:4
