together in multitudes against the seed of my

       brethren; and they were gathered together to battle.

      1 Nephi 12:16

       16 And the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold the fountain of

       filthy water which thy father saw; yea, even the river of which

       he spake; and the depths thereof are the depths of hell.

      1 Nephi 12:17

       17 And the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil,

       which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the children

       of men, and leadeth them away into broad roads, that they perish

       and are lost.

      1 Nephi 12:18

       18 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.

      1 Nephi 12:19

       19 And while the angel spake these words, I beheld and saw that

       the seed of my brethren did contend against my seed, according to

       the word of the angel; and because of the pride of my seed, and

       the temptations of the devil, I beheld that the seed of my

       brethren did overpower the people of my seed.

      1 Nephi 12:20

       20 And it came to pass that I beheld, and saw the people of the

       seed of my brethren that they had overcome my seed; and they went

       forth in multitudes upon the face of the land.

      1 Nephi 12:21

       21 And I saw them gathered together in multitudes; and I saw

       wars and rumors of wars among them; and in wars and rumors of

       wars I saw many generations pass away.

      1 Nephi 12:22

       22 And the angel said unto me: Behold these shall dwindle in

       unbelief.

      1 Nephi 12:23

       23 And it came to pass that I beheld, after they had dwindled in

       unbelief they became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people,

       full of idleness and all manner of abominations.

      1 Nephi 13 Chapter 13

      1 Nephi 13:1

       1 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying:

       Look! And I looked and beheld many nations and kingdoms.

      1 Nephi 13:2

       2 And the angel said unto me: What beholdest thou? And I said:

       I behold many nations and kingdoms.

      1 Nephi 13:3

       3 And he said unto me: These are the nations and kingdoms of the

       Gentiles.

      1 Nephi 13:4

       4 And it came to pass that I saw among the nations of the

       Gentiles the formation of a great church.

      1 Nephi 13:5

       5 And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church

       which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth

       the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down,

       and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into

       captivity.

      1 Nephi 13:6

       6 And it came to pass that I beheld this great and abominable

       church; and I saw the devil that he was the founder of it.

      1 Nephi 13:7

       7 And I also saw gold, and silver, and silks, and scarlets, and

       fine-twined linen, and all manner of precious clothing; and I saw

       many harlots.

      1 Nephi 13:8

       8 And the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold the gold, and the

       silver, and the silks, and the scarlets, and the fine-twined

       linen, and the precious clothing, and the harlots, are the

       desires of this great and abominable church.

      1 Nephi 13:9

       9 And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the

       saints of God, and bring them down into captivity.

      1 Nephi 13:10

       10 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld many waters; and

       they divided the Gentiles from the seed of my brethren.

      1 Nephi 13:11

       11 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: Behold the

       wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren.

      1 Nephi 13:12

       12 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was

       separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I

       beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the

       man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed

       of my brethren, who were in the promised land.

      1 Nephi 13:13

       13 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it

       wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of

       captivity, upon the many waters.

      1 Nephi 13:14

       14 And it came to pass that I beheld many multitudes of the

       Gentiles upon the land of promise; and I beheld the wrath of God,

       that it was upon the seed of my brethren; and they were scattered

       before the Gentiles and were smitten.

      1 Nephi 13:15

       15 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the

       Gentiles, and they did prosper and obtain the land for their

       inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and exceedingly

       fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain.

      1 Nephi 13:16

       16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles

       who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before

       the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.

      1 Nephi 13:17

       17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered

       together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle

       against them.

      1 Nephi 13:18

       18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also

       that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered

       together against them to battle.

      1 Nephi 13:19
