1 Nephi 22:1
And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi,
had read these things which were engraven upon the plates of brass,

What meaneth these things which ye have read?
Behold, are they to be understood according to things which are spiritual,
which shall come to pass according to the spirit and not the flesh?
1 Nephi 22:2

Behold they were manifest unto the prophet by the voice of the Spirit;
for by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophets,
which shall come upon the children of men according to the flesh.
1 Nephi 22:12
Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity,
and they shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance;

and they shall know that
the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel.
1 Nephi 22:14
And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel,
shall be turned one against another,
and they shall fall into the pit
which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord.

and that great whore, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord,
yea, that great and abominable church,
shall tumble to the dust
and great shall be the fall of it.
1 Nephi 22:18
Behold, my brethren, I say unto you,
that these things must shortly come;
yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must come;
and it must needs be upon the face of this earth;
and it cometh unto men according to the flesh
if it so be that they will harden their hearts against the Holy One of Israel.
1 Nephi 22:23
For the time speedily shall come that all churches
which are built up to get gain,
and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh,
and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world,
and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world,
and to do all manner of iniquity;
yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil
are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake;
they are those who must be brought low in the dust;
they are those who must be consumed as stubble;
and this is according to the words of the prophet.
1 Nephi 22:27
And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you
that all these things must come according to the flesh.

Wherefore, my brethren, I would that ye should consider
that the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are true;
and they testify that a man must be obedient to the commandments of God.

Wherefore, ye need not suppose that I and my father are the only ones
that have testified, and also taught them.
Wherefore, if ye shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the end,
ye shall be saved at the last day.
And thus it is.
Amen.
