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.

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 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.
