3 Nephi 16

I also have other sheep that are not in your land or in the land of Jerusalem. They have not heard my voice. I have not shown myself to them at any time. Now the Father commands me to go to them. I go now to show myself.

Write my words after I leave. The words you write will be given to the Gentiles. By the Gentiles, the House of Israel which is scattered across the whole earth will come to know me, their Redeemer.

Then I will gather them in from all the earth. Blessed are the Gentiles, because of their belief in me and in the Holy Ghost. Because of their belief in me, the full truth will come in the latter day to the Gentiles.

Woe to unbelieving Gentiles. They will come to this land [America] and scatter my people [the Indians] who are part of the house of Israel.

The Gentiles will throw your people [the Indians] out from among them. I will let my people [the Indians] be beaten and punished and killed and thrown out and hated and shamed by them.

But the Gentiles will sin and reject the fullness of my gospel. They will lift themselves up in pride above all nations and above all the people of the whole earth.

They will be full of lying, cheating, mischief, hypocrisy, murder, priestcraft and secret groups. This is when I will take my gospel away from them.

I will remember my promise I made to my people. I will bring my gospel to the house of Israel. I will show you, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles will not have power over you. You will learn the fullness of my gospel.

If the Gentiles repent and return to me, they will be a part of the house of Israel. But if they will not repent and listen to my voice, I will allow the house of Israel to go through them and tread them down. The Gentiles will be like salt that has lost its flavor—good for nothing but to be thrown out.
