2 Nephie Chapter 10

And now I, Rachel, speak unto you again, my beloved sisters, concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken. For behold, the promises which we have obtained are promises unto us according to the flesh; wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh because of unbelief, nevertheless, Goddess will be merciful unto many; and our children shall be restored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redemptress.

Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that Christ—for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be her name—should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify her—for thus it behooveth our Goddess, and there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their Goddess. For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations they would repent, and know that she be their Goddess.

But because of priestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem will stiffen their necks against her, that she be crucified. Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines, pestilences, and bloodshed shall come upon them; and they who shall not be destroyed shall be scattered among all nations.

But behold, thus saith the Lady Goddess: When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their mothers that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance. And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in from their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea, and from the four parts of the earth; and the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith Goddess, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance. Yea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing mothers unto them, and their queens shall become nursing fathers; wherefore, the promises of the Lady are great unto the Gentiles, for she hath spoken it, and who can dispute?

But behold, this land, said Goddess, shall be a land of thine inheritance, and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land. And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles. And I will fortify this land against all other nations. And she that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith Goddess.

For she that raiseth up a queen against me shall perish, for I, the Lady, the queen of heaven, will be their queen, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words. Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled which I have made unto the children of women, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh, I must needs destroy the secret works of darkness, and of murders, and of abominations.

Wherefore, she that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our Goddess. For I will fulfil my promises which I have made unto the children of women, that I will do unto them while they are in the flesh—

Wherefore, my beloved sisters, thus saith our Goddess: I will afflict thy offspring by the hand of the Gentiles; nevertheless, I will soften the hearts of the Gentiles, that they shall be like unto a mother to them; wherefore, the Gentiles shall be blessed and numbered among the house of Israel. Wherefore, I will consecrate this land unto thy offspring, and them who shall be numbered among thy offspring, forever, for the land of their inheritance; for it is a choice land, saith Goddess unto me, above all other lands, wherefore I will have all women that dwell thereon that they shall worship me, saith Goddess.

And now, my beloved sisters, seeing that our merciful Goddess has given us so great knowledge concerning these things, let us remember her, and lay aside our sins, and not hang down our heads, for we are not cast off; nevertheless, we have been driven out of the land of our inheritance; but we have been led to a better land, for the Lady has made the sea our path, and we are upon an isle of the sea. But great are the promises of the Lady unto them who are upon the isles of the sea; wherefore as it says isles, there must needs be more than this, and they are inhabited also by our sisters.

For behold, the Lady Goddess has led away from time to time from the house of Israel, according to her will and pleasure. And now behold, the Lady remembereth all them who have been broken off, wherefore she remembereth us also. Therefore, cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves—to choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life.

Wherefore, my beloved sisters, reconcile yourselves to the will of Goddess, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and remember, after ye are reconciled unto Goddess, that it is only in and through the grace of Goddess that ye are saved. Wherefore, may Goddess raise you from death by the power of the resurrection, and also from everlasting death by the power of the atonement, that ye may be received into the eternal queendom of Goddess, that ye may praise her through grace divine. Amen.
