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 11:11

And I said unto him:

To know the interpretation thereof —

for I spake unto him as a man speaketh;

for I beheld that he was in the form of a man;

yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord;

and he spake unto me as a man speaketh with another.

1 Nephi 11:25

And it came to pass that I beheld

that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God,

which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life;

which waters are a representation of the love of God;

and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.

And it came to pass that I saw and bear record,

that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world;

and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great.

And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying:

Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people,

that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

1 Nephi 13:6

And it came to pass that I beheld this great and abominable church;

and I saw the devil that he was the founder of it.
