they who are not found written in the book of remembrance shall find none inheritance in that day, but they shall be cut asunder, and their portion shall be appointed them among unbelievers, where are wailing and gnashing of teeth. Doctrine & Covenants 85:9

Trivia: How long will the earth be in existence?

How did God make Nephi's brothers loathsome to the Nephites?


By making their skins black.

He [God] had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing ... wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.
And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people. 2 Nephi 5:21
