This episode is part 5 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
2 Nephi chapters 10-25 cover the final part of Jacob's sermon to the Nephites. After reading some chapters of Isaiah, he prophesies about the coming of Christ, that the Jews will be scattered, and that they will be regathered and believe in Jesus. The United States plays a pivotal role in the last days when the people will receive the words of God through Joseph Smith.
Nephi continues to write on his brass plates and reflect on how Isaiah is clear about future things. He gives more detailed prophesies about Christ with some more modalistic verses. He then copies 13 full chapters from Isaiah.
Then, Nephi goes to town with yet more seemingly amazing prophecies that sound like New Testament doctrine in the 500's B.C. We look at 2 Nephi 25:23 as a verse to bring up to LDS missionaries as a challenge to their "plan of salvation." Ephesians 2:8-9 has something to say against it!
