"28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will arepent.
"29 And now I, Nephi, make an end; for I durst not speak further as yet concerning these things."
Nephi is straightforward (see 2 Nephi 31:2-3) here and simply says that all these things (that have been prophesied concerning the last days) must come to pass, temporally. He prophesies (promises) that all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Lord if they but just repent. What an important promise that we need to heed. Finally, Nephi says that this is all that he will say about these things. This is perhaps because he is at a point in time of the prophesies of the future that was forbidden to say (see 1 Nephi 14:28) or he might be at a point in which further revelations to his brothers would be "casting pearls before swine" (see Matthew 7:6).
