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 3:6

A seer shall the Lord my God raise up,

who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins.

2 Nephi 3:11

But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins;

and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins —

and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord,

but to the convincing them of my word,

which shall have already gone forth among them.

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.

when my work shall commence among all my people,

unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.

2 Nephi 3:18

And the Lord said unto me also:

I will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins;

and I will make for him a spokesman.

And I, behold, I will give unto him

that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins,

unto the fruit of thy loins;

and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.

2 Nephi 3:19

And the words which he shall write shall be the words

which are expedient in my wisdom should go forth unto the fruit of thy loins.

And it shall be as if the fruit of thy loins had cried unto them from the dust;

for I know their faith.

2 Nephi 3:21

Because of their faith their words shall proceed forth out of my mouth

unto their brethren who are the fruit of thy loins;

and the weakness of their words will I make strong in their faith,

unto the remembering of my covenant which I made unto thy fathers.

2 Nephi 3:23

Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed;

for thy seed shall not be destroyed,

for they shall hearken unto the words of the book.

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.

2 Nephi 3:25

And now, blessed art thou, Joseph.

Behold, thou art little;

wherefore hearken unto the words of thy brother, Nephi,

and it shall be done unto thee

even according to the words which I have spoken.

Remember the words of thy dying father.

Amen.
