2 Nephi 25:5

Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah,

for I came out from Jerusalem,

and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews,

and I know that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets,

and there is none other people

that understand the things which were spoken unto the Jews

like unto them,

save it be that they are taught after the manner of the things of the Jews.

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 25:18

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.

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 26:3

And after the Messiah shall come

there shall be signs given unto my people of his birth,

and also of his death and resurrection;

and great and terrible shall that day be unto the wicked,

for they shall perish;

and they perish because they cast out the prophets, and the saints,

and stone them, and slay them;

wherefore the cry of the blood of the saints

shall ascend up to God from the ground against them.

2 Nephi 26:8

But behold, the righteous that hearken unto the words of the prophets,

and destroy them not, but look forward unto Christ

with steadfastness for the signs which are given,

notwithstanding all persecution —

behold, they are they which shall not perish.

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.

and he remembereth the heathen;

and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.

to reveal all things unto the children of men.
