2 Nephi 25:8

Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men,

and he that supposeth that they are not,

unto them will I speak particularly,

and confine the words unto mine own people;

for I know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last days;

for in that day shall they understand them;

wherefore, for their good have I written them.

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 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.

and the day that cometh shall consume them, saith the Lord of Hosts.

2 Nephi 26:17

For thus saith the Lord God:

They shall write the things which shall be done among them,

and they shall be written and sealed up in a book,

and those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them,

for they seek to destroy the things of God.

2 Nephi 27:2

And when that day shall come

they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts,

with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise,

And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed

shall be read upon the house tops;

and they shall be read by the power of Christ;

and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men

which ever have been among the children of men,

and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth.
