2 Nephi 3:1, 5, 12, 24

2 Nephi 3:1

And now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last-born.

Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions;

yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee.

2 Nephi 3:5

Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day.

And he obtained a promise of the Lord,

that out of the fruit of his loins

the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel;

not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off,

nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord

that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days,

in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light —

yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

2 Nephi 3:12

Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write;

and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write;

and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins,

and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah,

shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines

and laying down of contentions,

and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins,

and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days,

and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.

2 Nephi 3:24

And there shall rise up one mighty among them,

who shall do much good, both in word and in deed,

being an instrument in the hands of God,

with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders,

and do that thing which is great in the sight of God,

unto the bringing to pass much restoration

unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren.
