1 Nephi 14:10

And he said unto me:

Behold there are save two churches only;

the one is the church of the Lamb of God,

and the other is the church of the devil;

wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God

belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations;

and she is the whore of all the earth.



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.



1 Nephi 14:14

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God,

that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb,

and upon the covenant people of the Lord,

who were scattered upon all the face of the earth;

and they were armed with righteousness

and with the power of God in great glory.



1 Nephi 14:17

And when the day cometh

that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots,

which is the great and abominable church of all the earth,

whose founder is the devil,

then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence,

in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants,

which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.
