105 And because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations, they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.
106 And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more; but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words. Amen.
2 Nephi 7 1 And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren, concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken.
2 For behold, the promises which we have obtained, are promises unto us according to the flesh;
3 Wherefore, as it has been shown unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh, because of unbelief, nevertheless God will be merciful unto many;
4 And our children shall be restored, that they may come to that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer.
5 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 his name) should come among the Jews, among those who are the more wicked part of the world;
6 And they shall crucify him: For thus it behooveth our God;
7 And there is none other nation on earth that would crucify their God.
8 For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations, they would repent, and know that he be their God;
9 But because of priestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem will stiffen their necks against him, that he be crucified.
