1 Nephi 10:12

and also concerning the house of Israel,
that they should be compared like unto an olive tree,
whose branches should be broken off
and should be scattered upon all the face of the earth.
1 Nephi 10:14
And after the house of Israel should be scattered
they should be gathered together again;

should be grafted in, or come to the knowledge of the true Messiah,
their Lord and their Redeemer.

and he said unto me:
The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews,
which contains the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets;
and it is a record like unto the engravings
which are upon the plates of brass,
save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord,
which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.

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.

And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God,
they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father;

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.

and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.

that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots,
which is the great and abominable church of all the earth,
whose founder is the devil,
then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence,
in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants,
which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.

to them hath he shown all things,
and they have written them;
and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity,
according to the truth which is in the Lamb,
in the own due time of the Lord,
unto the house of Israel.
