2 Nephi 24:1 - 24:5

2 Nephi 24:1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

Israel is still chosen to propagate the gospel throughout the world. Israel will return from its scattered condition to the lands they were promised that would be there's to live in forever. Because Israel would be the carrier of the message of the gospel, all those who wanted it be part of the gospel would have to come to Israel to be part of it.

2 Nephi 24:2 And the people shall take them and bring them to their place; yea, from far unto the ends of the earth; and they shall return to their lands of promise. And the house of Israel shall possess them, and the land of the Lord shall be for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captives unto whom they were captives; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

All the lands throughout the world will again be the abode of the house of Israel. It will be for those members of the house of Israel who want to serve their fellow man and give them the gospel. Those who were ruled over them in lands not of their own would now be ruled over by Israel in their promised lands.

2 Nephi 24:3 And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall give thee rest, from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve.

The restoration of the house of Israel to their own lands will bring peace and stability into their lives. They will no longer fear their those who had power over them to persecute them because of their religion.

2 Nephi 24:4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased!

The they will say to the governments of the earth that refuse to protect them, now where is your power over us? Your power is done away and your cities are destroyed.

2 Nephi 24:5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the scepters of the rulers.

The power of governments are removed. The Lord is in charge now.
