2 Nephi 25:10

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 25:16

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 25:18

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 25:20

And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err.

And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt,

and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations

after they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents,

if they would cast their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them,

and also gave him power that he should smite the rock

and the water should come forth;

yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true,

and as the Lord God liveth,

there is none other name given under heaven

save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken,

whereby man can be saved.

2 Nephi 25:21

Wherefore, for this cause hath the Lord God promised unto me

that these things which I write shall be kept and preserved,

that the promise may be fulfilled unto Joseph,

that his seed should never perish as long as the earth should stand.

they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.

that men should not murder;

that they should not lie;

that they should not steal;

that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain;

that they should not have malice;

that they should not contend one with another;

that they should not commit whoredoms;

and that they should do none of these things;

for whoso doeth them shall perish.

to bear testimony of his word unto the children of men;

for the Lord God hath said

that the words of the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.
