(3 Nephi 16:16) 

14 And the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you this land, for your inheritance. a b (3 Nephi 20:14) 

22 And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I a b made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New cJerusalem. And the powers of heaven shall be in d the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst of you. e 

(3 Nephi 20:22)

28 And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this land. Nevertheless, when they shall have a received the fulness of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against me I will return their biniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father. 

(3 Nephi 20:28) 

4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free a people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, b O house of Israel; 

(3 Nephi 21:4) 

22 But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my a b church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the c remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance; d 

(3 Nephi 21:22) 

19 And I write also unto the remnant of this people, who shall also be judged by the twelve whom a Jesus chose in this land; and they shall be judged by the other twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of Jerusalem.

(Mormon 8:8) 

23 Search the prophecies of Isaiah. Behold, I cannot write them. Yea, behold I say unto you, that those a saints who have gone before me, who have possessed this land, shall cry, yea, even from the dust will b they cry unto the Lord; and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them. 

(Mormon 8:23) 

8 And he had sworn in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they a should be swept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them. b 

(Ether 2:8) 

9 And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his a bwrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened c in iniquity. 

(Ether 2:9) 

20 And thus the Lord did pour out his blessings upon this land, which was choice above all other a lands; and he commanded that whoso should possess the land should possess it unto the Lord, or they should be destroyed when they were ripened in iniquity; for upon such, saith the Lord: I will pour out b the fulness of my wrath. 

(Ether 9:20) 

2 For behold, they rejected all the words of Ether; for he truly told them of all things, from the beginning of man; and that after the waters had receded from off the face of this land it became a a b choice land above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord; wherefore the Lord would have that all men should serve him who dwell upon the face thereof; c 

(Ether 13:2) 

4 Behold, Ether saw the days of Christ, and he spake concerning a New Jerusalem upon this land. (Ether 13:4) 

6 And that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the remnant of the seed of a b c Joseph, for which things there has been a type. 

(Ether 13:6) 

8 Wherefore, the remnant of the house of Joseph shall be built upon this land; and it shall be a land of a their inheritance; and they shall build up a holy cbity unto the Lord, like unto the Jerusalem of old; and they shall no more be confounded, until the end come when the earth shall pass away. c (Ether 13:8) 

19 And they have become strong in their perversion; and they are alike brutal, sparing none, neither old nor young; and they delight in everything save that which is good; and the suffering of our women and our children upon all the face of this land doth exceed everything; yea, tongue cannot tell, neither can it be wri5en. 

(Moroni 9:19) 

49 Now, this is not all—their faith in their prayers was that this gospel should be made known also, if it were possible that other nations should possess this land; 

(Doctrine and Covenants 10:49) 

50 And thus they did leave a blessing upon this land in their prayers, that whosoever should believe in this gospel in this land might have eternal life; a

(Doctrine and Covenants 57:15)

(Doctrine and Covenants 58:44)
