2 Nephi 25:9

And as one generation hath been destroyed among the Jews because of iniquity,

even so have they been destroyed

from generation to generation according to their iniquities;

and never hath any of them been destroyed

save it were foretold them by the prophets of the Lord.

2 Nephi 25:10

Wherefore, it hath been told them concerning the destruction

which should come upon them, immediately after my father left Jerusalem;

nevertheless, they hardened their hearts;

and according to my prophecy they have been destroyed,

save it be those which are carried away captive into Babylon.

2 Nephi 25:11

And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me.

And notwithstanding they have been carried away

they shall return again, and possess the land of Jerusalem;

wherefore, they shall be restored again to the land of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 25:12

But, behold, they shall have wars, and rumors of wars;

and when the day cometh that the Only Begotten of the Father,

yea, even the Father of heaven and of earth,

shall manifest himself unto them in the flesh,

behold, they will reject him, because of their iniquities,

and the hardness of their hearts, and the stiffness of their necks.

2 Nephi 25:13

Behold, they will crucify him;

and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days

he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings;

and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him,

for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

2 Nephi 25:14

And behold it shall come to pass that

after the Messiah hath risen from the dead,

and hath manifested himself unto his people,

unto as many as will believe on his name,

behold, Jerusalem shall be destroyed again;

for wo unto them that fight against God and the people of his church.

2 Nephi 25:15

Wherefore, the Jews shall be scattered among all nations;

yea, and also Babylon shall be destroyed;

wherefore, the Jews shall be scattered by other nations.

2 Nephi 25:16

And after they have been scattered,

and the Lord God hath scourged them

by other nations for the space of many generations,

yea, even down from generation to generation

until they shall be persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God,

and the atonement, which is infinite for all mankind —

and when that day shall come that they shall believe in Christ,

and worship the Father in his name, with pure hearts and clean hands,

and look not forward any more for another Messiah,

then, at that time, the day will come

that it must needs be expedient that they should believe these things.

2 Nephi 25:17

And the Lord will set his hand again the second time

to restore his people from their lost and fallen state.

Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder

among the children of men.

2 Nephi 25:18

Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them,

which words shall judge them at the last day,

for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them

of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them;

and unto the convincing of them

that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come,

for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah

which should deceive the people;

for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets,

and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews.

2 Nephi 25:19

For according to the words of the prophets,

the Messiah cometh in six hundred years

from the time that my father left Jerusalem;

and according to the words of the prophets,

and also the word of the angel of God,

his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
