there came a pillar of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him;

1 Nephi 1:14

And it came to pass that when my father had read

and seen many great and marvelous things,

he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as:

Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty!

Thy throne is high in the heavens,

and thy power, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth;

and, because thou art merciful,

thou wilt not suffer those who come unto thee that they shall perish!

For behold, it came to pass that the Lord spake unto my father,

yea, even in a dream, and said unto him:

Blessed art thou Lehi, because of the things which thou hast done;

and because thou hast been faithful

and declared unto this people the things which I commanded thee,

behold, they seek to take away thy life.
