The Lord Warns the Latter-day Gentiles Through Nephi

“I will begin to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, remembering the covenants that I made to Israel’s descendants, and I will deliver my people a second time.

“I will remember the promises that I made to you, Nephi, and also to your father, Lehi. My promise was that I would not forget your descendants. I will remember them by bringing them the words of their forefathers (the entire Book of Mormon), which will go with power throughout the earth and become a standard to Israel’s descendants.

“Because these words will have power, many Gentiles will say, ‘We already have a Bible, so there cannot be any more.’ Oh fools, who have their Bible from the Jews, my ancient covenant people. Do the Gentiles thank the Jews for the Bible? Do they remember the pain the Jews suffered, and their work and diligence before me in bringing salvation to the Gentiles? No, they do not remember these things, but instead the Gentiles curse the Jews. They hate them and do not make any effort to recover them. But everything the Jews have suffered will be done to the Gentiles, for I, the Lord have not forgotten my people.

“You fools who will say, ‘We already have a Bible. We do not need more scripture.’ How did you get your Bible except from the Jews? Don’t you realize that there is more than one nation, and that I, the Lord your God, created all people and remember them? I rule the heavens and the earth and will bring my word to all nations. Why do you fear to receive more of my word? Don’t you know that the testimony of two nations is a greater witness to you that I am God, who remembers one nation like another?

“I speak the same words to one nation that I do to another. When the two nations meet together, their testimonies will also join together. I will do this to prove that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that I speak according to my own pleasure. Just because I have chosen one group of people to speak to, do not think that I cannot choose another, for my work is not finished, and it never will be. Do not think you have all my words because you have a Bible, or that I have not caused more to be written. For I command all people everywhere to write the words I speak to them, and I will judge the world according to their works—according to what I have commanded to be written. I will speak to the Jews, to the Nephites, to the ten tribes, and to all nations, and they will all write their own scriptures. In the last days, these groups will exchange and have one another’s scripture—The Holy Bible, the complete Book of Mormon, and other ancient scriptures of those who have been led away. Then my people—members of the house of Israel—will be gathered home to the lands of their possessions. My word will also be gathered into one book. I will show those who fight against my word, and against my people, that I am the same God who covenanted with Abraham that I would remember his descendants forever.”
