for they supposed it had been the Gentiles;

that the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching.

3 Nephi 15:23

that I said they shall hear my voice;

3 Nephi 16:4

And I command you that ye shall write these sayings after I am gone,

that if it so be that my people at Jerusalem,

they who have seen me and been with me in my ministry,

do not ask the Father in my name,

that they may receive a knowledge of you by the Holy Ghost,

and also of the other tribes whom they know not of,

that these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept

and shall be manifested unto the Gentiles,

that through the fulness of the Gentiles,

the remnant of their seed,

who shall be scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief,

may be brought in, or may be brought to a knowledge of me, their Redeemer.

for notwithstanding they have come forth upon the face of this land,

have been cast out from among them,

and have been trodden under feet by them;

3 Nephi 16:9

And because of the mercies of the Father unto the Gentiles,

and also the judgments of the Father

upon my people who are of the house of Israel,

verily, verily, I say unto you,

that after all this, and I have caused my people who are of the house of Israel

to be smitten, and to be afflicted, and to be slain,

and to be cast out from among them, and to become hated by them,

and to become a hiss and a byword among them —

3 Nephi 16:10

And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you:

At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel,

and shall reject the fulness of my gospel,

and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts

above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth,

and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs,

and all manner of hypocrisy,

and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms,

and of secret abominations;

and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel,

behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.

that the Gentiles shall not have power over you;

But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father,

behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.
