       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

       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 СКАЧАТЬ
