1 Nephi 15:12

Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared unto an olive tree,

by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our father;

and behold are we not broken off from the house of Israel,

and are we not a branch of the house of Israel?

1 Nephi 15:13

And now, the thing which our father meaneth

concerning the grafting in of the natural branches

through the fulness of the Gentiles,

is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have dwindled in unbelief,

yea, for the space of many years, and many generations

after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto the children of men,

then shall the fulness of the gospel of the Messiah come unto the Gentiles,

and from the Gentiles unto the remnant of our seed —

1 Nephi 15:14

And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know

that they are of the house of Israel,

and that they are the covenant people of the Lord;

and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers,

and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer,

which was ministered unto their fathers by him;

wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer

and the very points of his doctrine,

that they may know how to come unto him and be saved.

1 Nephi 15:15

And then at that day will they not rejoice

and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation?

Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine?

Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of God?

1 Nephi 15:16

Behold, I say unto you,

Yea; they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel;

they shall be grafted in,

being a natural branch of the olive tree,

into the true olive tree.

1 Nephi 15:17

And this is what our father meaneth;

and he meaneth that it will not come to pass

until after they are scattered by the Gentiles;

and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the Gentiles,

that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles,

for the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the house of Israel.

1 Nephi 15:18

Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone,

but also of all the house of Israel,

pointing to the covenant which should be fulfilled in the latter days;

which covenant the Lord made to our father Abraham, saying:

In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

1 Nephi 15:19

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake much unto them concerning these things;

yea, I spake unto them concerning the restoration of the Jews in the latter days.

1 Nephi 15:20

And I did rehearse unto them the words of Isaiah,

who spake concerning the restoration of the Jews, or of the house of Israel;

and after they were restored they should no more be confounded,

neither should they be scattered again.

And it came to pass that I did speak many words unto my brethren,

that they were pacified and did humble themselves before the Lord.
