The Lord will remember the Gentiles of the promised land and bless them with liberty as they come unto Him. President Spencer W. Kimball recalls this promise in the context of the dangers of worldwide conflict:
Victory and defeat alike leave countries devastated and the conqueror and the conquered reduced. Wickedness brings war and war vomits destruction and suffering, hate, and bloodshed upon the guilty and the innocent alike.
This book [Book of Mormon] should convince of the futility of war and the hazards of unrighteousness. A few prophets swimming in a sea of barbarism find it difficult to prevent the crumbling and final collapse of corrupt peoples. There is a great but conditional promise:
“And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land… .
“And I will fortify this land against all other nations… .
“I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.” (2 Nephi 10:11–12, 14.) (Faith Precedes the Miracle [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1972], 332–334)
