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 25:22

Wherefore, these things shall go from generation to generation

as long as the earth shall stand;

and they shall go according to the will and pleasure of God;

and the nations who shall possess them shall be judged of them

according to the words which are written.



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 27:3

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.
