The GATHER BRACELET symbolism
[The] gathering is the most important thing taking place on earth today. Nothing else compares in magnitude, nothing else compares in importance, nothing else compares in majesty. And if you choose to, if you want to, you can be a big part of it. You can be a big part of something big, something grand, something majestic!
Pres. Russell M. Nelson, Hope of Israel
In Exodus 28, the Lord assigned each House of Israel their own gemstone. We gathered each gemstone into one bracelet, to symbolize the most important thing happening on earth right now –
THE GATHERING OF ISRAEL.
“You were sent to earth at this precise time,
the most crucial time in the history of the world,
to help gather Israel.”
-Pres. Russell M. Nelson
Read more about these gemstones in Exodus 28! Over time some of the names of gemstones have changed. However, after research, we believe these are the closest match to the gemstones the Lord assigned.
Today we believe these gemstones are:
Ruby, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Garnet, Diamond, Amethyst, Agate, Opal, Aquamarine, Onyx, and Jasper.
Anciently, the gemstones were placed in The Breastplate of Aaron. They were embedded in sets of three in gold. Similarly, the gemstones in your bracelet representing each house, are in sets of three.
Reuben, Simeon, Levi.
Isaachar, Judah, Zebulon.
Naphtali, Gad, Dan.
Asher, Joseph (representing Ephraim & Manasseh), Benjamin.
In both the Young Women and Young Men’s version of the Gather bracelet, Jasper is placed between the sets of the House of Israel gemstones. Why? Because historically Jasper has represented Jesus Christ.
The Gathering is His work. We are honored to be a part of it. It is only in and through Him that all will be gathered in to prepare for His Second Coming.
