He revealed that following the tribulation, the translation of the sealed portion of the gold plates would take place.
This is consistent with the prophecy in the Book of Mormon that the sealed portion would not come forth UNTIL the gentiles repent of their iniquity and become clean before the Lord.
"Behold, I have written upon these plates the very things which the brother of Jared saw; and there never were greater things made manifest than those which were made manifest unto the brother of Jared. Wherefore the Lord hath commanded me to write them; and I have written them. And he commanded me that I should seal them up; and he also hath commanded that I should seal up the interpretation thereof; wherefore I have sealed up the interpreters according to the commandment of the Lord.
And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did, that they may become sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelation, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are. And he that will contend against the word of the Lord, let him be accursed; and he that shall deny these things, let him be accursed; for unto them will I show no greater things, saith Jesus Christ; for I am he who speaketh. " (Ether 4:4-8)
Have we gentiles exercised the same kind of faith that the brother of Jared did?
Have we opened the heavens and seen God as the brother of Jared did?
Have become clean and sanctified as the brother of Jared did?
Has the Lord now unfolded ALL of the revelations to us Gentiles because of our exceeding faith?
Here is another witness that the Marvelous Work did not begin when the gospel was restored to the earth through the gentiles in or about 1830, rather, it takes place in the generation when the gentiles finally repent of their iniquity and become clean before the Lord.

Watcher, This blog is AMAZING! I wish there were more hours in the day to read! Questions: Do you address the Scapegoat Doctrine and the Intercessory Offering in future posts? Also, is there a post that goes into depth about the false doctrines and traditions we need to shed? I hope so! Thank you for your service!
Yes my friend
The following two posts cover the atonement statute prophecy and scapegoat doctrine

Thanks for visiting watch out for information overload
Watcher, I have already bothered you twice and you have been good enough to answer. I will try and make this my last question. I have always believed in signs in the heavens but I have a difficult time keeping up with what's going on and also the Jewish holidays etc. Are there a couple of websites you would suggest I can check periodically that will keep me appraised of the latest happenings in the heavens and also important dates? Thank you in advance! Oh, and yes, it is TONS of info to take in!
Wow, just saw that there is a lunar eclipse that starts the same time as the Jewish Passover in 2 wks - cool! I will do some more sleuthing - would love to find out the significance/meaning of a lunar eclipse, for example. Thanks again for all!!! fascinating!
I really don't have any specific sites to recommend.. just google and follow the spirit.
Pastor Mark Biltz was one of the first to notice the upcoming series of blood moons and Johnathan Kahn is one of the ones that has contributed to the harbinger prophecy and related signs
You may want to watch some of their talks and interviews
