1 Nephi 7:17 - 1 Nephi 7:27
17 And after our seed is scattered, the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth unto our seed;
18 Wherefore, it is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles, and being carried in their arms, and upon their shoulders.
19 And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles:
20 And not only unto the Gentiles, but unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying, In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
21 And I would, my brethren, that ye should know that all the kindreds of the earth can not be blessed unless he shall make bare his arm in the eyes of the nations.
22 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm in the eyes of all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and his gospel, unto those who are of the house of Israel.
23 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and they shall be gathered together to the lands of their inheritance;
24 And they shall be brought out of obscurity, and out of darkness;
25 And they shall know that the Lord is their Savior and their Redeemer, the mighty one of Israel.
26 And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads;
27 For they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with their own blood.
