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.
1 Nephi 11:1
For it came to pass after I had desired
to know the things that my father had seen,
and believing that the Lord was able to make them known unto me,
as I sat pondering in mine heart
I was caught away in the Spirit of the Lord,
yea, into an exceedingly high mountain,
which I never had before seen,
and upon which I never had before set my foot.
1 Nephi 11:9
And it came to pass after I had seen the tree,
I said unto the Spirit:
I behold thou hast shown unto me the tree
which is precious above all.
1 Nephi 12:5
And it came to pass after I saw these things,
I saw the vapor of darkness,
that it passed from off the face of the earth;
and behold, I saw multitudes who had not fallen
because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord.
