And when I had spoken these words,
the Spirit cried with a loud voice, saying:
Hosanna to the Lord, the most high God;

wherefore, thou shalt behold the things which thou hast desired.
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.

that it passed from off the face of the earth;

because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord.

These are made white in the blood of the Lamb,
because of their faith in him.

according to the word of the angel;

I beheld that the seed of my brethren did overpower the people of my seed.
1 Nephi 13:29
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.
1 Nephi 13:32

in that awful state of blindness, which thou beholdest they are in,
because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb
which have been kept back by that abominable church,
whose formation thou hast seen.
1 Nephi 13:34
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.
1 Nephi 14:12
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.
