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

      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,
