1 Nephi 13:30

Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles

who have gone forth out of captivity,

and have been lifted up by the power of God

above all other nations, upon the face of the land

which is choice above all other lands,

which is the land that the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father

that his seed should have for the land of their inheritance;

wherefore, thou seest that the Lord God will not suffer

that the Gentiles will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed,

which are among thy brethren.


1 Nephi 13:31

Neither will he suffer that the Gentiles shall destroy the seed of thy brethren.


1 Nephi 13:32

Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain

in that awful state of blindness, which thou beholdest they are in,

because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb

which have been kept back by that abominable church,

whose formation thou hast seen.


1 Nephi 13:33

Wherefore saith the Lamb of God:

I will be merciful unto the Gentiles,

unto the visiting of the remnant of the house of Israel in great judgment.


1 Nephi 13:34

And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying:

Behold, saith the Lamb of God,

after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel

— and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father —

wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment,

and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles,

and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,

because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb

which have been kept back by that abominable church,

which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb —

I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day,

insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power,

much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.


1 Nephi 13:35

For, behold, saith the Lamb: I will manifest myself unto thy seed,

that they shall write many things which I shall minister unto them,

which shall be plain and precious;

and after thy seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief,

and also the seed of thy brethren,

behold, these things shall be hid up, to come forth unto the Gentiles,

by the gift and power of the Lamb.


1 Nephi 13:36

And in them shall be written my gospel, saith the Lamb,

and my rock and my salvation.


1 Nephi 13:37

And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day,

for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost;

and if they endure unto the end

they shall be lifted up at the last day,

and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb;

and whoso shall publish peace,

yea, tidings of great joy,

how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.
