tongues, and people.1 Nephi 14:12
12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions
upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
1 Nephi 14:13
13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight
against the Lamb of God.

1 Nephi 14:14
14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed
with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
1 Nephi 14:15
15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.
1 Nephi 14:16
16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things--
1 Nephi 14:17
17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at
that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the
way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to
his people who are of the house of Israel.
1 Nephi 14:18
18 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!
1 Nephi 14:19
19 And I looked and beheld a man, and he was dressed in a white robe.
1 Nephi 14:20
20 And the angel said unto me: Behold one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
1 Nephi 14:21
21 Behold, he shall see and write the remainder of these things;
yea, and also many things which have been.
1 Nephi 14:22
22 And he shall also write concerning the end of the world.
1 Nephi 14:23
23 Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true; and behold they are written in the book which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew; and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men.
1 Nephi 14:24
24 And behold, the things which this apostle of the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen; and behold, the remainder shalt thou see.
1 Nephi 14:25
25 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter thou shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should write them.
1 Nephi 14:26
26 And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have written them; and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of
31
Israel.
1 Nephi 14:27
27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of the angel.
1 Nephi 14:28
28 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I should write the remainder of the things which I saw and heard; wherefore the things which I have written sufficeth me; and I have written but a small part of the things which I saw.
1 Nephi 14:29
29 And I bear record that I saw the things which my father saw, and the angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.
1 Nephi 14:30
30 And now I make an end of speaking concerning the things which
I saw while I was carried away in the spirit; and if all the things which I saw are not written, the things which I have written are true. And thus it is. Amen.
1 Nephi 15 Chapter 15
1 Nephi 15:1
1 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been carried away in the spirit, and seen all these things, I returned to the tent
of my father.
1 Nephi 15:2
2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren, and they were disputing one with another concerning the things my father had spoken unto them.
1 Nephi 15:3
3 For he truly spake many great things unto them, which were
hard to be understood, save a man should inquire of the Lord; and they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto
the Lord as they ought.
1 Nephi 15:4
4 And now I, Nephi, was grieved because of the hardness of their hearts, and also, because of the things which I had seen, and
knew they must unavoidably come to pass because of the great wickedness of the children of men.
1 Nephi 15:5
5 And it came to pass that I was overcome because of my afflictions, for I considered that mine afflictions were great above all, because of the destruction of my people, for I had beheld their fall.
1 Nephi 15:6
6 And it came to pass that after I had received strength I spake unto my brethren, desiring to know of them the cause of their disputations.
1 Nephi 15:7
7 And they said: Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive-tree, and also concerning the Gentiles.
