“But Whosoever Remaineth, Shall Be Numbered Among the Lamanites”

Brant Gardner

This part of the prophecy specifically tells us that it is not the destruction of the lineal Nephites, but the political Nephites that will come. Not every Nephite is destroyed, but there will be no more Nephite because there is no more political organization deemed Nephite. Those who are left “shall be numbered among the Lamanites.” As we have seen, the process of switching sides rapidly associates former Nephites with current Lamanites, a process we recently saw with the Zoramites in Antionum (Alma 43:4).
