and ask me in faith, believing

      that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments,

      surely these things shall be made known unto you.

      1 Nephi 15:12

       12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared

      unto an olive-tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our

      father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of

      Israel, and are we not a branch of the house of Israel?

      1 Nephi 15:13

       13 And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the

      grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the

      Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have

      dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many

      generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto

      the children of men, then shall the fulness of the gospel of the

      Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the

      remnant of our seed—

      1 Nephi 15:14

       14 And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they

      are of the house of Israel, and that they are the covenant people

      of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge

      of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of

      their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him;

      wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and

      the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come

      unto him and be saved.

      1 Nephi 15:15

       15 And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise

      unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea,

      at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment

      from the true vine? Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of

      God?

      1 Nephi 15:16

       16 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again

      among the house of Israel; they shall be grafted in, being a

      natural branch of the olive-tree, into the true olive-tree.

      1 Nephi 15:17

       17 And this is what our father meaneth; and he meaneth that it

      will not come to pass until after they are scattered by the

      Gentiles; and he meaneth that it shall come by way of the

      Gentiles, that the Lord may show his power unto the Gentiles, for

      the very cause that he shall be rejected of the Jews, or of the

      house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 15:18

       18 Wherefore, our father hath not spoken of our seed alone, but

      also of all the house of Israel, pointing to the covenant which

      should be fulfilled in the latter days; which covenant the Lord

      made to our father Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the

      kindreds of the earth be blessed.

      1 Nephi 15:19

       19 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, spake much unto them

      concerning these things; yea, I spake unto them concerning the

      restoration of the Jews in the latter days.

      1 Nephi 15:20

       20 And I did rehearse unto them the words of Isaiah, who spake

      concerning the restoration of the Jews, or of the house of

      Israel; and after they were restored they should no more be

      confounded, neither should they be scattered again. And it came

      to pass that I did speak many words unto my brethren, that they

      were pacified and did humble themselves before the Lord.

      1 Nephi 15:21

       21 And it came to pass that they did speak unto me again,

      saying: What meaneth this thing which our father saw in a dream?

      What meaneth the tree which he saw?

      1 Nephi 15:22

       22 And I said unto them: It was a representation of the tree of

      life.

      1 Nephi 15:23

       23 And they said unto me: What meaneth the rod of iron which our

      father saw, that led to the tree?

      1 Nephi 15:24

       24 And I said unto them that it was the word of God, and whoso

      would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it,

      they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the

      fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to

      lead them away to destruction.

      1 Nephi 15:25

       25 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did exhort them to give heed unto the

      word of the Lord; yea, I did exhort them with all the energies of

      my soul, and with all the faculty which I possessed, that they

      would give heed to the word of God and remember to keep his

      commandments always in all things.

      1 Nephi 15:26

       26 And they said unto me: What meaneth the river of water which

      our father saw?

      1 Nephi 15:27

       27 And I said unto them that the water which my father saw was

      filthiness; and so much was his mind swallowed up in other things

      that he beheld not the filthiness of the water.

      1 Nephi 15:28

       28 And I said unto them that it was an awful gulf, which

      separated the wicked from the tree of life, and also from the

      saints of God.

      1 Nephi 15:29

       29 And I said unto them that it was a representation of that

      awful hell, which the angel said unto me was prepared for the

      wicked.

      1 Nephi 15:30

       30 And I said unto them that our father also saw that the

      justice of God did also divide the wicked from the righteous; and

      the brightness thereof was like unto the brightness of a flaming

      fire, which ascendeth up unto God forever and ever, and hath no

      end.

      1 Nephi 15:31

       31 And they said unto me: Doth this thing mean the torment of

      the body in the days of probation, or doth it mean the final

      state of the soul after the death of the temporal body, or doth

      it speak of the things which are temporal?

      1 Nephi 15:32

       32 And it came to pass that I said unto them that it was a

      representation of things both temporal and spiritual; for
