Is the day when the "wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots" already passed? Was it ca 1820-1830? 1 Nephi 14:17

Answer:
Ish?

The footnote leads to a reference about the "Last Days." There's like...a big long list of scriptures describing the last days and all the events that will come, which I will spare you from pasting here.

Basically, it's the TLDR version of all the Ancient scriptures! Ha!

And some of those things have happened, some are happening, and some have not yet happened. 

I guess "day" here could mean a collection of days. 

I guess if it refers to a single day, then it could also mean that literally, God's wrath has started to be poured out already. The "work of the Father" has already commenced. The covenants are that Israel will be remembered and gathered. This message is totally laced all throughout the entire Old Testament, and you can see that it is starting to happen today. By the way, I have strong feelings about the gathering of Israel not meaning the creation of the modern state of Israel, but that is a subject for another post. Or perhaps a previous one that I wrote while living in the middle east and cannot dig up right now.

In a nutshell: the house of Israel is a metaphor for God's children - for everyone. We are actually all welcome in the house of Israel. When we keep God's commandments and make covenants that we will follow him, we are adopted into the house of Israel.
