2 Nephi 3:5

wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins, the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the House of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off; nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord, that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light; yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.

So Joseph saw our time. The Lord promised him that from his kids, God would bring a good branch to the House of Israel. This would not be the Messiah, but a branch that would be broken off. But they would still be remembered in the Lord’s promises. The Messiah would be shown to them in the last days. He would come with the Spirit’s power. He would bring them from darkness into light. He would bring them from hidden darkness and being prisoners to freedom.

That Joseph saw our day. The Lord promised him that from his descendants, God would raise up a righteous branch for the House of Israel—not the Messiah himself, but a branch that would be broken off. Still, the Lord would remember them in his promises, and the Messiah would reveal himself to them in the last days with powerful Spirit, bringing them out of darkness into light, out of deep shadows and captivity into freedom.
