men shall know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.

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 in that day shall they understand them;

wherefore, for their good have I written them.

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

2 Nephi 25:14

And behold it shall come to pass that

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.

that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come,

and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews.

and after they shall have been brought down low in the dust,

even that they are not,

yet the words of the righteous shall be written,

and the prayers of the faithful shall be heard,

and all those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten.

and their speech shall be low out of the dust,

and their voice shall be as one that hath a familiar spirit;

for the Lord God will give unto him power,

that he may whisper concerning them,

even as it were out of the ground;

and their speech shall whisper out of the dust.

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.

the things which are sealed shall not be delivered

and he shall deliver the words of the book,

which are the words of those who have slumbered in the dust,

and he shall deliver these words unto another;

2 Nephi 27:10

But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver,

neither shall he deliver the book.

For the book shall be sealed by the power of God,

and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book

until the own due time of the Lord,

that they may come forth;

for behold, they reveal all things

from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.

2 Nephi 27:11

shall be read upon the house tops;

and they shall be read by the power of Christ;

which ever have been among the children of men,

and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth.

2 Nephi 27:12

Wherefore, at that day when the book shall be delivered

unto the man of whom I have spoken,

the book shall be hid from the eyes of the world,

yea, a marvelous work and a wonder,

for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish,

and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.

2 Nephi 27:27

And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord!

And their works are in the dark;

and they say:

Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?

And they also say:

Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.

But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts,

that I know all their works.

For shall the work say of him that made it,

he made me not?

Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,

he had no understanding?

2 Nephi 27:28

But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts:

I will show unto the children of men

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.
