2 Nephi 25:4

Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,

and give ear unto my words;

for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you,

nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.

But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me;

wherefore I shall prophesy according to the plainness

which hath been with me from the time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father;

for behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn.

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 25:11

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 25:13

Behold, they will crucify him;

and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days

he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings;

and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him,

for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

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.

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 25:23

For we labor diligently to write,

to persuade our children, and also our brethren,

to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God;

for we know that it is by grace that we are saved,

after all we can do.

2 Nephi 25:27

Wherefore, we speak concerning the law

that our children may know the deadness of the law;

and they, by knowing the deadness of the law,

may look forward unto that life which is in Christ,

and know for what end the law was given.

And after the law is fulfilled in Christ,

that they need not harden their hearts against him

when the law ought to be done away.

2 Nephi 25:28

And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people;

wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you,

that ye cannot misunderstand.

And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you;

for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way;

for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not;

for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.

2 Nephi 25:29

And now behold, I say unto you

that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not;

and Christ is the Holy One of Israel;

wherefore ye must bow down before him,

and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul;

and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.

2 Nephi 26:12

And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews,

that Jesus is the very Christ,

it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also

that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God;

And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old,

according to the combinations of the devil,

for he is the founder of all these things;

yea, the founder of murder, and works of darkness;

yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord,

until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever.

2 Nephi 26:30

Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing;

wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment

that all men should have charity, which charity is love.

And except they should have charity they were nothing.

Wherefore, if they should have charity

they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.

For none of these iniquities come of the Lord;

for he doeth that which is good among the children of men;

and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men;

and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness;

and he denieth none that come unto him,

black and white, bond and free, male and female;

and he remembereth the heathen;

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

2 Nephi 27:3

And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her,

shall be as a dream of a night vision;

yea, it shall be unto them,

even as unto a hungry man which dreameth,

and behold he eateth

but he awaketh and his soul is empty;

or like unto a thirsty man which dreameth,

and behold he drinketh

but he awaketh and behold he is faint, and his soul hath appetite;

yea, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.

I am not learned.

that it is yet a very little while

and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field;

and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.

they shall see that the terrible one is brought to naught,

and the scorner is consumed,

and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;
