2nd Nephi 25:17-18
And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men. Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them, which words shall judge them at the last day, for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them; and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward anymore for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah which should deceive the people; for there is save one Messiah.
Nephi even told about the need for Christ “to restore his people from their lost and fallen state.” The message that John brings is this restoration. The message is full of direction to help us find Christ. The message commands us to follow the true teachings of Christ and not be persuaded by man. Will you listen to the words of God.
