2 Nephi 25:10

Wherefore, it hath been told them concerning the destruction

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 25:11

And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me.

And notwithstanding they have been carried away

they shall return again, and possess the land of Jerusalem;

wherefore, they shall be restored again to the land of their inheritance.

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 26:20

And the Gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes,

and have stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block,

that they have built up many churches;

nevertheless, they put down the power and miracles of God,

and preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning,

that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor.

2 Nephi 27:20

Then shall the Lord God say unto him:

The learned shall not read them,

for they have rejected them,

and I am able to do mine own work;

wherefore thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee.
