       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.

      1 Nephi 12:6

       6 And I saw the heavens open, and the Lamb of God descending out

       of heaven; and he came down and showed himself unto them.

      1 Nephi 12:7

       7 And I also saw and bear record that the Holy Ghost fell upon

       twelve others; and they were ordained of God, and chosen.

       disciples of the Lamb, who are chosen to minister unto thy seed.

      1 Nephi 12:9

       9 And he said unto me: Thou rememberest the twelve apostles of

       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

       10 And these twelve ministers whom thou beholdest shall judge

       thy seed. And, behold, they are righteous forever; for because

       of their faith in the Lamb of God their garments are made white

       in his blood.

      1 Nephi 12:11

       11 And the angel said unto me: Look! And I looked, and beheld

       three generations pass away in righteousness; and their garments

       were white even like unto the Lamb of God. And the angel said

       unto me: These are made white in the blood of the Lamb, because

       of their faith in him.

       seed of thy brethren.

      1 Nephi 12:15

       seed gathered 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

       forth in multitudes upon the face of the land.

       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.

       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

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