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
