Promises to the Righteous	The righteous will be saved. We are to flee into the mountains and take nothing with us. We can’t return to our homes to get our clothes or anything, just flee to the mountain tops. JSM 1:13-15	We are given all these signs so we know what to believe and what not to believe.  If we watch we will not be swept away like the wicked in the flood.

In 1 Nephi 22:16-22 it talks about how the Lord will preserve the righteous. The Lord will not allow the wicked to take down the righteous and as long as we do what we need to: study the scriptures, pray night and day and keep the commandments we will be saved. As long as we are diligently doing what we know is right and trying to do what Jesus would do we can and will be saved.
