In the long run, the righteous need not fear; the forces of evil will be overcome. The wicked—those who belong to the kingdom of the devil—are the ones who need to fear, tremble, and quake. Theirs is a pathetic and ignominious end. Here is another example of Nephi’s plainness: the church of the devil consists of all churches and organizations that are built up to get gain, power over others, or acceptability in the eyes of the world or that seek to satisfy physical lusts (see also commentary at 1 Nephi 13:2–9). They will all be burned as stubble (3 Nephi 25:1).
