       the Lamb? Behold they are they who shall judge the twelve tribes

       of Israel; wherefore, the twelve ministers of thy seed shall be

       judged of them; for ye are of the house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 12:10

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

       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.

       brethren did overpower the people of my seed.

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

       unbelief.

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

       full of idleness and all manner of abominations.

       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.
