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 25:23

For we labor diligently to write,

to persuade our children, and also our brethren,

to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God;

for we know that it is by grace that we are saved,

after all we can do.

2 Nephi 26:10

And when these things have passed away

a speedy destruction cometh unto my people;

for, notwithstanding the pains of my soul, I have seen it;

wherefore, I know that it shall come to pass;

and they sell themselves for naught;

for, for the reward of their pride and their foolishness they shall reap destruction;

for because they yield unto the devil

and choose works of darkness rather than light,

therefore they must go down to hell.

2 Nephi 27:28

But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts:

I will show unto the children of men

that it is yet a very little while

and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field;

and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
