All who fight against the Lord's word and reject these things will be cursed, for I will not show greater things to them.

At my command, the heavens are opened and are shut. At my word, the earth will shake, and at my command, the inhabitants of the earth will pass away, even by fire.

Those who reject my words reject my disciples.

You may use you own judgment now and say that my words are not true, but at the last day you will know that it is I, Jesus Christ, who speaks the truth. Those who believe in me will be visited with the witness of my Spirit. They will know and bear record that these words are true, for they persuade all to do good.

Note: Three statements (underlined and bold in above paragraph), made by the Savior to Moroni concerning,
1. Judging for yourself.
2. Being shown the truth of the words with power (will know).
3. The words persuade (teach) all to do good.
These three statements are parallel with the then 1,000 year old words of Nephi...
"...for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good.......And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye — for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory, that they are his words.”
(2 Nephi 33:10-11).

Anything that persuades people to do good comes from me. Those who will not believe my words will not believe me...that I am. Neither will they believe the Father who sent me. For I represent the Father. I am the light, life and truth of the world.

Come to me, oh Gentiles, and I will show you greater things—knowledge that has been hidden because of unbelief.

Come to me, oh house of Israel, and the great things that the Father has laid up for you since the beginning of the world will be shown to you...things that have not yet come to you because of your unbelief.
