“And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.”
2 Nephi 21:11

It may be easy to think of the gathering as something that will happen far in the future. Yet the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants show that a spiritual gathering is taking place right now. The Book of Mormon may have helped Joseph to understand the connection between the spiritual and physical gathering of Israel.
