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 after ye have witnessed him
ye shall bear record that it is the Son of God.

And the large and spacious building, which thy father saw,
is vain imaginations and the pride of the children of men.
And a great and a terrible gulf divideth them;
yea, even the word of the justice of the Eternal God, and the Messiah
who is the Lamb of God,
of whom the Holy Ghost beareth record,
from the beginning of the world until this time,
and from this time henceforth and forever.

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 13:34
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.

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.

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,

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.
