2 Nephi 11:87 - 2 Nephi 11:97
87 Wherefore, as those who have been destroyed, have been destroyed speedily: and the multitude of their terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away.
88 Yea, thus saith the Lord God: It shall be at an instant, suddenly.
89 And it shall come to pass, that those who have dwindled in unbelief, shall be smitten by the hand of the Gentiles.
90 And the Gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and have stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block, that they have built up many churches;
91 Nevertheless they put down the power and the miracles of God, and preach up unto themselves, their own wisdom, and their own learning, that they may get gain, and grind upon the face of the poor;
92 And there are many churches built up which cause envyings, and strifes, and malice;
93 And there are also secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to the combinations of the devil, for he is the foundation of all these things; yea, the foundation of murder, and works of darkness;
94 Yea, and he leadeth them by the neck with a flaxen cord, until he bindeth them with his strong cords for ever.
95 For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.
96 He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life, that he may draw all men unto him.
97 Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.
