2 Nephi 30:8
8 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence his
work among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, to bring
about the restoration of his people upon the earth.
2 Nephi 30:9
9 And with righteousness shall the Lord God judge the poor, and
reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall
smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of
his lips shall he slay the wicked.
2 Nephi 30:10
10 For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God shall cause a
great division among the people, and the wicked will he destroy;
and he will spare his people, yea, even if it so be that he must
destroy the wicked by fire.
2 Nephi 30:11
11 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
2 Nephi 30:12
12 And then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb; and the leopard
shall lie down with the kid, and the calf, and the young lion,
and the fatling, together; and a little child shall lead them.
2 Nephi 30:13
13 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall
lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
2 Nephi 30:14
14 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and
the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den.
2 Nephi 30:15
15 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the
waters cover the sea.
2 Nephi 30:16
16 Wherefore, the things of all nations shall be made known;
yea, all things shall be made known unto the children of men.
2 Nephi 30:17
17 There is nothing which is secret save it shall be revealed;
there is no work of darkness save it shall be made manifest in
the light; and there is nothing which is sealed upon the earth
save it shall be loosed.
2 Nephi 30:18
18 Wherefore, all things which have been revealed unto the
children of men shall at that day be revealed; and Satan shall
have power over the hearts of the children of men no more, for a
long time. And now, my beloved brethren, I make an end of my
sayings.
2 Nephi 31 Chapter 31
2 Nephi 31:1
1 And now I, Nephi, make an end of my prophesying unto you, my
beloved brethren. And I cannot write but a few things, which I
know must surely come to pass; neither can I write but a few of
the words of my brother Jacob.
2 Nephi 31:2
2 Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me, save
it be a few words which I must speak concerning the doctrine of
Christ; wherefore, I shall speak unto you plainly, according to
the plainness of my prophesying.
2 Nephi 31:3
3 For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner
doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord
God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men
according to their language, unto their understanding.
2 Nephi 31:4
4 Wherefore, I would that ye should remember that I have spoken
unto you concerning that prophet which the Lord showed unto me,
that should baptize the Lamb of God, which should take away the
sins of the world.
2 Nephi 31:5
5 And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy, should have need
to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how
much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even
by water!
2 Nephi 31:6
6 And now, I would ask of you, my beloved brethren, wherein the
Lamb of God did fulfil all righteousness in being baptized by
water?
2 Nephi 31:7
7 Know ye not that he was holy? But notwithstanding he being
holy, he showeth unto the children of men that, according to the
flesh he humbleth himself before the Father, and witnesseth unto
the Father that he would be obedient unto him in keeping his
commandments.
2 Nephi 31:8
8 Wherefore, after he was baptized with water the Holy Ghost
descended upon him in the form of a dove.
2 Nephi 31:9
9 And again, it showeth unto the children of men the
straightness of the path, and the narrowness of the gate, by
which they should enter, he having
