1 Nephi 10:17

And it came to pass after I, Nephi, having heard all the words of my father,

concerning the things which he saw in a vision,

and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost,

which power he received by faith on the Son of God

— and the Son of God was the Messiah who should come —

I, Nephi, was desirous also

that I might see, and hear, and know of these things, by the power of the Holy Ghost,

which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently seek him,

as well in times of old

as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men.

1 Nephi 12:4

And it came to pass that I saw a mist of darkness

on the face of the land of promise;

and I saw lightnings, and I heard thunderings, and earthquakes,

and all manner of tumultuous noises;

and I saw the earth and the rocks, that they rent;

and I saw mountains tumbling into pieces;

and I saw the plains of the earth, that they were broken up;

and I saw many cities that they were sunk;

and I saw many that they were burned with fire;

and I saw many that did tumble to the earth, because of the quaking thereof.

1 Nephi 14:7

For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God,

that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of men;

a work which shall be everlasting,

either on the one hand or on the other —

either to the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal,

or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts

and the blindness of their minds

unto their being brought down into captivity,

and also into destruction, both temporally and spiritually,

according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
