2 Nephi 25:3

Wherefore, I write unto my people,

unto all those that shall receive hereafter these things which I write,

that they may know the judgments of God,

that they come upon all nations, according to the word which he hath spoken.

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 25:20

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,

and handed down unto my seed, from generation to generation,

that the promise may be fulfilled unto Joseph,

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

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 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 26:14

But behold, I prophesy unto you concerning the last days;

concerning the days when the Lord God shall bring these things forth

unto the children of men.

2 Nephi 26:22

And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old,

according to the combinations of the devil,

for he is the founder of all these things;

yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness;

yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord,

until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever.

2 Nephi 26:32

And again, the Lord God hath commanded

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 envy;

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.
