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.
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
32
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 are the covenant people
of the Lord; and then shall they know and come to the knowledge of their forefathers, and also to the knowledge of the gospel of their Redeemer, which was ministered unto their fathers by him;
wherefore, they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer and the very points of his doctrine, that they may know how to come unto him and be saved.
1 Nephi 15:15
15 And then at that day will they not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting God, their rock and their salvation? Yea, at that day, will they not receive the strength and nourishment
from the true vine? Yea, will they not come unto the true fold of
God?
1 Nephi 15:16
16 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel; they shall be grafted in, being a natural branch of the olive-tree, into the true olive-tree.
1 Nephi 15:17
