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 13:30
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.
1 Nephi 13:32
Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain
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 13:40
And the angel spake unto me, saying:
These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles,
shall establish the truth of the first,
which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb,
and shall make known the plain and precious things
which have been taken away from them;
and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world;
and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.
1 Nephi 14:21
Behold, he shall see and write the remainder of these things;
yea, and also many things which have been.
1 Nephi 14:26
And also others who have been,
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.
