Regarding 2 Nephi 29-30

“The Book of Mormon foretells its own reception by the world. Though the critics have always claimed that Joseph Smith expected it to be a best seller and make him a lot of money, the ancient prophets knew … that they were not writing ‘the things which are pleasing unto the world’ and foretold how ‘many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible’ (2 Nephi 29:3, and refuse to believe that God can ‘remember one nation like unto another’ (2 Nephi 29:8). . . [The Book of Mormon] is to go quietly and steadily forth over all the world … ‘And my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people.”  Its appearance … only marks the first step, the very beginning, of the latter-day work …. With it, ‘the work of the Father’ has commenced, not ended (2 Nephi 30:8).” (Since Cumorah, pp. 374-375.)
