2 Nephi Chapter 15
2 Ne 15:12 And if ye shall believe in Christ, ye will believe in these words; for they are the words of
Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good.
15:12 Nephi's record is finished, and he bears testimony that it carries a divine message. In the last
day when all men shall stand at the judgment bar, the books will be opened (Rev. 20:12), and then
men shall know that what he has written are the words of Christ (13).
2 Ne 15:16 And now, my beloved brethren, all those who are of the house of Israel, and all ye ends of
the earth, I speak unto you, as the voice of one crying from the dust: Farewell until that great day shall
come;
15:16 Records engraved on golden plates could not be put into the hands of ordinary men £or
general circulation. Nephi knew that in due time and in God's own way these words would come
from their hiding place, be translated by the power of God, and be mighty in convincing Jew and
Gentile that Jesus lives, and that “all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matt. 28:17).
