2 Nephi 7:14 - 2 Nephi 7:24
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;
23 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish:
24 For they are they who are the whore of all the earth;
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.

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;
