These scriptures especially give hope to those who have read about the signs of the Second Coming and think that it is going to be a scary ordeal.

In 1st Nephi it talks about how Jesus will make sure the righteous are tqaken care of, and will be saved in the last days. Those who fight against Zion will be separated from those who dwell in Zion. As long as they inhabitants of Zion observe the commandments that God placed before them, then they shall be escape the vengeance upon the ungodly.
