Two Prophets to Be Raised Up
The allusion in 2 Nephi 8:19–20 seems to be to the two prophets who will be raised up unto the Jewish nation in the latter days. These prophets will enjoy enormous powers during a critical period when Jerusalem is under siege (see Revelation 11:1–17). They will also “prophesy to the Jews after they are gathered and have built the city of Jerusalem in the land of their fathers” (D&C 77:15). The other “sons” have been vanquished, but these two are like “a wild bull in a net, … full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God” (2 Nephi 8:20).
