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 26:4

Wherefore, all those who are proud, and that do wickedly,

the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts,

for they shall be as stubble.

2 Nephi 26:5

And they that kill the prophets, and the saints,

the depths of the earth shall swallow them up, saith the Lord of Hosts;

and mountains shall cover them,

and whirlwinds shall carry them away,

and buildings shall fall upon them

and crush them to pieces and grind them to powder.

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 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 26:21

And there are many churches built up

which cause envyings, and strifes, and malice.

2 Nephi 26:29

He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts;

for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up

for a light unto the world,

that they may get gain and praise of the world;

but they seek not the welfare of Zion.

2 Nephi 27:8

Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up,

the things which are sealed shall not be delivered

in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people.

Wherefore the book shall be kept from them.

2 Nephi 27:22

Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee,

and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee,

then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me,

that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read,

until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom

to reveal all things unto the children of men.
