2 Nephi 10:1

And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren,

concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken.

2 Nephi 10:2

For behold, the promises which we have obtained

are promises unto us according to the flesh;

wherefore, as it has been shown unto me

that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief,

nevertheless, God will be merciful unto many;

and our children shall be restored,

that they may come to that which will give them

the true knowledge of their Redeemer.

2 Nephi 10:3

Wherefore, as I said unto you,

it must needs be expedient that Christ —

for in the last night the angel spake unto me

that this should be his name —

should come among the Jews,

among those who are the more wicked part of the world;

and they shall crucify him —

for thus it behooveth our God,

and there is none other nation on earth

that would crucify their God.

2 Nephi 10:4

For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations

they would repent, and know that he be their God.

2 Nephi 10:5

But because of priestcrafts and iniquities,

they at Jerusalem will stiffen their necks against him,

that he be crucified.

2 Nephi 10:6

Wherefore, because of their iniquities,

destructions, famines, pestilences, and bloodshed shall come upon them;

and they who shall not be destroyed shall be scattered among all nations.

2 Nephi 10:7

But behold, thus saith the Lord God:

When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ,

then have I covenanted with their fathers

that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth,

unto the lands of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 10:8

And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in

from their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea,

and from the four parts of the earth;

and the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God,

in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 10:9

Yea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing fathers unto them,

and their queens shall become nursing mothers;

wherefore, the promises of the Lord are great unto the Gentiles,

for he hath spoken it, and who can dispute?
