to the lands of their inheritance, and shall be established in

       all their lands of promise.

      2 Nephi 9:3

       3 Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things

       that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever, because of

       the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.

      2 Nephi 9:4

       4 For I know that ye have searched much, many of you, to know of

       things to come; wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must

       waste away and die; nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.

      2 Nephi 9:5

       5 Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show

       himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came; for it is

       expedient that it should be among them; for it behooveth the

       great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto

       man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become

       subject unto him.

      2 Nephi 9:6

       6 For as death hath passed upon all men, to fulfil the merciful

       plan of the great Creator, there must needs be a power of

       resurrection, and the resurrection must needs come unto man by

       reason of the fall; and the fall came by reason of transgression;

       and because man became fallen they were cut off from the presence

       of the Lord.

      2 Nephi 9:7

       7 Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement—save it

       should be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put on

       incorruption. Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man

       must needs have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this

       flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother

       earth, to rise no more.

      2 Nephi 9:8

       8 O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the

       flesh should rise no more our spirits must become subject to that

       angel who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God, and

       became the devil, to rise no more.

      2 Nephi 9:9

       9 And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we become

       devils, angels to a devil, to be shut out from the presence of

       our God, and to remain with the father of lies, in misery, like

       unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled our first parents,

       who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and

       stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of

       murder and all manner of secret works of darkness.

      2 Nephi 9:10

       10 O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for

       our escape from the grasp of this awful monster; yea, that

       monster, death and hell, which I call the death of the body, and

       also the death of the spirit.

      2 Nephi 9:11

       11 And because of the way of deliverance of our God, the Holy

       One of Israel, this death, of which I have spoken, which is the

       temporal, shall deliver up its dead; which death is the grave.

      2 Nephi 9:12

       12 And this death of which I have spoken, which is the spiritual

       death, shall deliver up its dead; which spiritual death is hell;

       wherefore, death and hell must deliver up their dead, and hell

       must deliver up its captive spirits, and the grave must deliver

       up its captive bodies, and the bodies and the spirits of men will

       be restored one to the other; and it is by the power of the

       resurrection of the Holy One of Israel.

      2 Nephi 9:13

       13 O how great the plan of our God! For on the other hand, the

       paradise of God must deliver up the spirits of the righteous, and

       the grave deliver up the body of the righteous; and the spirit

       and the body is restored to itself again, and all men become

       incorruptible, and immortal, and they are living souls, having a

       perfect knowledge like unto us in the flesh, save it be that our

       knowledge shall be perfect.

      2 Nephi 9:14

       14 Wherefore, we shall have a perfect knowledge of all our

       guilt, and our uncleanness, and our nakedness; and the righteous

       shall have a perfect knowledge of their enjoyment, and their

       righteousness, being clothed with purity, yea, even with the robe

       of righteousness.

      2 Nephi 9:15

       15 And it shall come to pass that when all men shall have passed

       from this first death unto life, insomuch as they have become

       immortal, they must appear before the judgment-seat of the Holy

       One of Israel; and then cometh the judgment, and then must they

       be judged according to the holy judgment of God.

      2 Nephi 9:16

       16 And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath

       spoken it, and it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away,

       that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they

       who are filthy shall be filthy still; wherefore, they who are

       filthy are the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into

       everlasting fire; prepared for them; and their torment is as a

       lake of fire and brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and

       ever and has no end.

      2 Nephi 9:17

       17 O the greatness and the justice of our God! For he executeth

       all his words, and they have gone forth out of his mouth, and his

       law must be fulfilled.

      2 Nephi 9:18

       18 But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of

       Israel, they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, they

       who have endured the crosses of the world, and despised the shame

       of it, they shall inherit the kingdom of God, which was prepared

       for them from the foundation of the world, and their joy shall be

       full forever.

      2 Nephi 9:19

       19 O the greatness of the mercy of our God, the Holy One of

       Israel! For he delivereth his saints from that awful monster the

       devil, and death, and hell, and that lake of fire and brimstone,

       which is endless torment.
