3 Nephi 20:21

And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of Israel.

3 Nephi 20:22

And behold, this people will I establish in this land,

unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob;

and it shall be a New Jerusalem.

And the powers of heaven shall be in the midst of this people;

yea, even I will be in the midst of you.

3 Nephi 20:23

Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying:

A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up

unto you of your brethren, like unto me;

him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet

shall be cut off from among the people.

3 Nephi 20:24

Verily I say unto you,

yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after,

as many as have spoken, have testified of me.

3 Nephi 20:25

And behold, ye are the children of the prophets;

and ye are of the house of Israel;

and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers,

saying unto Abraham:

And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

3 Nephi 20:26

The Father having raised me up unto you first,

and sent me to bless you

in turning away every one of you from his iniquities;

and this because ye are the children of the covenant —

3 Nephi 20:27

And after that ye were blessed

then fulfilleth the Father the covenant

which he made with Abraham, saying:

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

unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles,

which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all,

unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel.

3 Nephi 20:28

And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this land.

Nevertheless, when they shall have received the fulness of my gospel,

then if they shall harden their hearts against me

I will return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father.

3 Nephi 20:29

And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people;

and I have covenanted with them

that I would gather them together in mine own due time,

that I would give unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance,

which is the land of Jerusalem,

which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father.
