Converted Gentiles will be numbered with the covenant people—Many Lamanites and Jews will believe the word and become delightsome—Israel will be restored and the wicked destroyed. About 559–545 B.C.
And
now
behold,
my
beloved
brethren,
I
would
speak
unto
you;
for
I,
Nephi,
would
not
suffer
that
ye
should
suppose
that
ye
are
more
righteous
than
the
Gentiles
shall
be.
For
behold,
except
ye
shall
keep
the
commandments
of
God
ye
shall
all
likewise
a
perish;
and
because
of
the
words
which
have
been
spoken
ye
need
not
suppose
that
the
Gentiles
are
utterly
destroyed.
2 For
behold,
I
say
unto
you
that
as
many
of
the
Gentiles
as
will
repent
are
the
a
covenant
people
of
the
Lord;
and
as
many
of
the
b
Jews
as
will
not
repent
shall
be
c
cast
off;
for
the
Lord
d
covenanteth
with
none
save
it
be
with
them
that
e
repent
and
believe
in
his
Son,
who
is
the
Holy
One
of
Israel.
3 And
now,
I
would
prophesy
somewhat
more
concerning
the
Jews
and
the
Gentiles.
For
after
the
book
of
which
I
have
spoken
shall
come
forth,
and
be
written
unto
the
Gentiles,
and
sealed
up
again
unto
the
Lord,
there
shall
be
many
which
shall
a
believe
the
words
which
are
written;
and
b
they
shall
carry
them
forth
unto
the
c
remnant
of
our
seed.
4 And
then
shall
the
remnant
of
our
seed
know
concerning
us,
how
that
we
came
out
from
Jerusalem,
and
that
they
are
descendants
of
the
Jews.
5 And
the
gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
shall
be
declared
among
a
them;
wherefore,
b
they
shall
be
restored
unto
the
c
knowledge
of
their
fathers,
and
also
to
the
knowledge
of
Jesus
Christ,
which
was
had
among
their
fathers.
6 And
then
shall
they
rejoice;
for
they
shall
a
know
that
it
is
a
blessing
unto
them
from
the
hand
of
God;
and
their
b
scales
of
darkness
shall
begin
to
fall
from
their
eyes;
and
many
generations
shall
not
pass
away
among
them,
save
they
shall
be
a
pure
and
a
c
delightsome
people.
7 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
the
a
Jews
which
are
scattered
also
shall
b
begin
to
believe
in
Christ;
and
they
shall
begin
to
gather
in
upon
the
face
of
the
land;
and
as
many
as
shall
believe
in
Christ
shall
also
become
a
delightsome
people.
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
a
restoration
of
his
people
upon
the
earth.
9 And
with
righteousness
shall
the
a
Lord
God
b
judge
the
poor,
and
reprove
with
equity
for
the
c
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.
10 For
the
a
time
speedily
cometh
that
the
Lord
God
shall
cause
a
great
b
division
among
the
people,
and
the
wicked
will
he
c
destroy;
and
he
will
d
spare
his
people,
yea,
even
if
it
so
be
that
he
must
e
destroy
the
wicked
by
fire.
11 And
a
righteousness
shall
be
the
girdle
of
his
loins,
and
faithfulness
the
girdle
of
his
reins.
12
a
And
then
shall
the
wolf
a
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.
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.
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.
15 They
shall
not
hurt
nor
destroy
in
all
my
holy
a
mountain;
for
the
earth
shall
be
full
of
the
b
knowledge
of
the
Lord
as
the
waters
cover
the
sea.
16 Wherefore,
the
things
of
a
all
nations
shall
be
made
known;
yea,
all
things
shall
be
made
b
known
unto
the
children
of
men.
17 There
is
nothing
which
is
secret
save
it
shall
be
a
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.
18 Wherefore,
all
things
which
have
been
revealed
unto
the
children
of
men
shall
at
that
a
day
be
revealed;
and
Satan
shall
have
power
over
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men
b
no
more,
for
a
long
time.
And
now,
my
beloved
brethren,
I
make
an
end
of
my
sayings.
