2 Nephi 27:1

But, behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles —

yea, behold all the nations of the Gentiles and also the Jews,

both those who shall come upon this land

and those who shall be upon other lands,

yea, even upon all the lands of the earth,

behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations —


2 Nephi 27:2

And when that day shall come

they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts,

with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise,

and with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.


2 Nephi 27:3

And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her,

shall be as a dream of a night vision;

yea, it shall be unto them,

even as unto a hungry man which dreameth,

and behold he eateth

but he awaketh and his soul is empty;

or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth,

and behold he drinketh

but he awaketh and behold he is faint, and his soul hath appetite;

yea, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.


2 Nephi 27:4

For behold, all ye that doeth iniquity, stay yourselves and wonder,

for ye shall cry out, and cry;

yea, ye shall be drunken but not with wine,

ye shall stagger but not with strong drink.


2 Nephi 27:5

For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep.

For behold, ye have closed your eyes,

and ye have rejected the prophets;

and your rulers, and the seers hath he covered because of your iniquity.
