2 Nephi 26:3



2 Nephi 25:14

And behold it shall come to pass that

after the Messiah hath risen from the dead,

and hath manifested himself unto his people,

unto as many as will believe on his name,

behold, Jerusalem shall be destroyed again;

for wo unto them that fight against God and the people of his church.



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 25:19

For according to the words of the prophets,

the Messiah cometh in six hundred years

from the time that my father left Jerusalem;

and according to the words of the prophets,

and also the word of the angel of God,

his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.



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.
