2 Nephi 7:12 - 2 Nephi 7:22
12 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: When the day cometh that they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I covenanted with their fathers, that they shall be restored in the flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance.
13 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;
14 And the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.
15 Yea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing fathers unto them, and their queens shall become nursing mothers;
16 Wherefore the promises of the Lord are great unto the Gentiles, for he hath spoken it, and who can dispute?
17 But behold, this land, saith God, shall be a land of thine inheritance; and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land.
18 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.
19 And I will fortify this land against all other nations;
20 And he that fighteth against Zion, shall perish, saith God; for he that raiseth up a king against me, shall perish.
21 For I the Lord, the King of heaven, will be their king; and I will be a light upon them forever, that hear my words.
22 Wherefore, for this cause, that my covenants may be fulfilled, which I have made unto the children of men, 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;
13 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;
14 And the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.
15 Yea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing fathers unto them, and their queens shall become nursing mothers;
