14:5 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, Nephi, saying:
Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it shall be well with
them; and thou also knowest concerning the covenants of the Lord unto
the house of Israel; and thou also hast heard that whoso repenteth not
must perish.
14:6 Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden
their hearts against the Lamb of God.
14:7 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God, that I will work a
great and a marvelous work among the children of men; a work which
shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on the other—either to
the convincing of them unto peace and life eternal, or unto the
deliverance of them to the hardness of their hearts and the blindness
of their minds unto their being brought down into captivity, and also
into destruction, both temporally and spiritually, according to the
captivity of the devil, of which I have spoken.
14:8 And it came to pass that when the angel had spoken these words, he
said unto me: Rememberest thou the covenants of the Father unto the
house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.
14:9 And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that
great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose
founder is the devil.
14:10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the
one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of
the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of
God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of
abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
14:11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the
earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the
earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
14:12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God,
and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of
the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the
church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the
face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were
small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
14:13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of
abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the
earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb
of God.
14:14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb
of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb,
and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all
the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with
the power of God in great glory.
14:15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was
poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there
were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the
earth.
