2 Nephi 25:9

And as one generation hath been destroyed among the Jews because of iniquity,

even so have they been destroyed

from generation to generation according to their iniquities;

and never hath any of them been destroyed

save it were foretold them by the prophets of the Lord.

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 25:21

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 26:9

But the Son of righteousness shall appear unto them; and he shall heal them,

and they shall have peace with him, until three generations shall have passed away,

and many of the fourth generation shall have passed away in righteousness.
