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.

And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars

among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations,

Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots;

and behold, thou seest all these things —

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.
