2 Nephi 10:10

But behold, this land, said God, shall be a land of thine inheritance,

and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land.


2 Nephi 10:11

And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles,

and there shall be no kings upon the land,

who shall raise up unto the Gentiles.


2 Nephi 10:12

And I will fortify this land against all other nations.


2 Nephi 10:13

And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God.


2 Nephi 10:14

For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish,

for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king,

and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.


2 Nephi 10:15

Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled

which I have made unto the children of men,

that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh,

I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness,

and of murders, and of abominations.


2 Nephi 10:16

Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion,

both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish;

for they are they who are the whore of all the earth;

for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God.


2 Nephi 10:17

For I will fulfil my promises which I have made unto the children of men,

that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh —


2 Nephi 10:18

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, thus saith our God:

I will afflict thy seed by the hand of the Gentiles;

nevertheless, I will soften the hearts of the Gentiles,

that they shall be like unto a father to them;

wherefore, the Gentiles shall be blessed and numbered among the house of Israel.


2 Nephi 10:19

Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy seed,

and them who shall be numbered among thy seed,

forever, for the land of their inheritance;

for it is a choice land, saith God unto me,

above all other lands,

wherefore I will have all men that dwell thereon

that they shall worship me, saith God.
