(Covenant of Christ) 3 Nephi 4:9

The voice said: You people of these great cities that have fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, who belong to the house of Israel; you people of the house of Israel, how often I’ve gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and how often I’ve guided you! ... But if not, O house of Israel, your dwelling places will become desolate until the time when the covenant to your fathers is kept.

(Covenant of Christ) 3 Nephi 10:2

You’ll need a bigger tent, let your communities spread out; keep growing, get longer tent cords and stronger poles, for you’ll gather from the south and the north, and your posterity will adopt the Gentiles and fill the desolated cities again.

(Covenant of Christ) 2 Nephi 9:2

And He said: Until their cities have been destroyed and left desolate, and their houses abandoned, and the land deserted, until the Lord has driven everyone far away, and there are many abandoned places throughout the land.
