22:18 Behold, my brethren, I say unto you, that these things must
shortly come; yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must come;
and it must needs be upon the face of this earth; and it cometh unto
men according to the flesh if it so be that they will harden their
hearts against the Holy One of Israel.
22:19 For behold, the righteous shall not perish; for the time surely
must come that all they who fight against Zion shall be cut off.
22:20 And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto the
fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye
hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come
to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off
from among the people.
22:21 And now I, Nephi, declare unto you, that this prophet of whom
Moses spake was the Holy One of Israel; wherefore, he shall execute
judgment in righteousness.
22:22 And the righteous need not fear, for they are those who shall not
be confounded. But it is the kingdom of the devil, which shall be built
up among the children of men, which kingdom is established among them
which are in the flesh—
22:23 For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are
built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over
the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of
the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of
the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those
who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and
tremble, and quake; they are those who must be brought low in the dust;
they are those who must be consumed as stubble; and this is according
to the words of the prophet.
22:24 And the time cometh speedily that the righteous must be led up as
calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion,
and might, and power, and great glory.
22:25 And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the
earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall
be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him
they shall find pasture.
22:26 And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no
power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for
he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in
righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.
22:27 And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you that all these things must
come according to the flesh.
22:28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall
dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will
repent.
22:29 And now I, Nephi, make an end; for I durst not speak further as
yet concerning these things.
