The Angel Assures Nephi That the Gentiles Can Repent
1 Nephi 13:42 - 1 Nephi 14:7
Duration: 2:32
1 Nephi 13:42
And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations,
both unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles;
and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
and the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.
1 Nephi 14:1
And it shall come to pass, that
if the Gentiles shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day
that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed,
unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks —
1 Nephi 14:2
And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God,
they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father;
yea, they shall be numbered among the house of Israel;
and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever;
they shall be no more brought down into captivity;
and the house of Israel shall no more be confounded.
1 Nephi 14:3
And that great pit, which hath been digged for them
by that great and abominable church,
which was founded by the devil and his children,
that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell —
yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men
shall be filled by those who digged it,
unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God;
not the destruction of the soul,
save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end.
1 Nephi 14:4
For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil,
and also according to the justice of God,
upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.
1 Nephi 14:5
And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying:
Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with them;
and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord
unto the house of Israel;
and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.
1 Nephi 14:6
Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles
if it so be that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.
1 Nephi 14:7
For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God,
that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men;
a work which shall be everlasting,
either on the one hand or on the other —
either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal,
or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts
and the blindness of their minds
unto their being brought down into captivity,
and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually,
according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
