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.

and bringeth them down into captivity.

And the angel of the Lord said unto me:
Thou hast beheld that the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew;

of whom the twelve apostles bear record;
and they bear record according to the truth which is in the Lamb of God.

1 Nephi 13:26
And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,
from the Jews unto the Gentiles,
thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church,
which is most abominable above all other churches;

many parts which are plain and most precious;

through the hands of the great and abominable church,

And after these plain and precious things were taken away
it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles;
and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles,
yea, even across the many waters which thou hast seen
with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity,
thou seest — because of the many plain and precious things
which have been taken out of the book,
which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men,
according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God —
because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb,
an exceedingly great many do stumble,
yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them.

Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles
who have gone forth out of captivity,
and have been lifted up by the power of God
above all other nations, upon the face of the land
which is choice above all other lands,
which is the land that the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father
that his seed should have for the land of their inheritance;
wherefore, thou seest that the Lord God will not suffer
that the Gentiles will utterly destroy the mixture of thy seed,
which are among thy brethren.

And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying:
Behold, saith the Lamb of God,
after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel
— and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father —
wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment,
and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles,
and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly,
because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb
which have been kept back by that abominable church,
which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb —
I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day,
insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power,
much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb.

belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations;
and she is the whore of all the earth.

that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots,
which is the great and abominable church of all the earth,

in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants,
which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.

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.
