Nephi 14:2525 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
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.
1 Nephi 15:8
8 And I said unto them: Have ye inquired of the Lord?
1 Nephi 15:9
9 And they said unto me: We have not; for the Lord maketh no
such thing known unto us.
1 Nephi 15:10
10 Behold, I said unto them: How is it that ye do not keep the
commandments of the Lord? How is it that ye will perish, because
of the hardness of your hearts?
1 Nephi 15:11
11 Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said?—If
ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing
that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments,
surely these things shall be made known unto you.
1 Nephi 15:12
12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared
unto an olive-tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our
father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of
Israel, and are we not a branch of the house of Israel?
1 Nephi 15:13
13 And now, the thing which our father meaneth concerning the
grafting in of the natural branches through the fulness of the
Gentiles, is, that in the latter days, when our seed shall have
dwindled in unbelief, yea, for the space of many years, and many
generations after the Messiah shall be manifested in body unto
the children of men, then shall the fulness of the gospel of the
Messiah come unto the Gentiles, and from the Gentiles unto the
remnant of our seed—
1 Nephi 15:14
14 And at that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they
are of the house of Israel, and that they
