There are only two churches - the church of God (the Mormons) and the church of the devil (everyone else)
1And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles shall
hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power,
in very deed, unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks --
2 And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of God, they shall be
numbered among the seed of thy father; yea, they shall be numbered among the house of
Israel; and they shall be a blessed people upon the promised land forever; they shall be
no more brought down into captivity; and the house of Israel shall no more be
confounded.
If the Gentiles will listen to God, he'll show himself to them, and they'll be counted among Lehi's seed.
[1]
3 And that great pit, which hath been digged for them by
that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children,
that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell -- yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the
destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction,
saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into
that hell which hath no end.
4 For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, and also
according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination
before him.
And they will escape the great pit that was dug for them by the great and abominable church that was founded by the devil to
lead souls to hell. [2]
It'll be the members of that evil pit-digging church that fall into the pit of everlasting hell.
5And 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.
The angel said to me,
If the Gentiles repent, things will go well with them.
But if they don't, they'll perish. [3]
6 Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be that they harden their
hearts against the Lamb of God.
Woe to them, if they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.
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.
8And 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.
The Lamb of God says,
Sometime later, I'll do great and marvelous work." [4]
Then everyone will have a choice: believe in it or be damned to hell.
9And 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.
The angel said to me, "Look."
And I saw the great and abominable church, the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.
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.
The angel said,
There are only two churches: the church of the lamb of God and the church of the devil. [5]
Whoever doesn't belong to the church of the Lamb belongs to that great church, the mother of abominations, and
the whore of all the earth.
11And 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.
And I saw the whore of all the earth, who sat on many waters.
12And 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.
Then I saw the church of the Lamb of God.
There weren't many members because of the whore that sat on many waters. [6]
13And 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.
I saw the great mother of abominations gather multitudes to fight against the Lamb of God.
14And 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.
15And 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.
Then the power of God descended upon the church of the Lamb, and the wrath of God poured out on the great
and abominable church.
16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among
all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the
angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of
harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things --
There were wars and rumors of wars, and the wrath of God was on the mother or harlots.
17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the
mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose
founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in
preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people
who are of the house of Israel.
After the wrath of God was poured out on the mother of harlots, the Father started to prepare to fulfil his
covenants with his people.
18And it came to pass that the angel spake unto
me, saying: Look!
19 And I looked and beheld a man, and he was dressed in a white
robe.
20 And the angel said unto me: Behold one of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb.
21 Behold, he shall see and write the remainder of these things; yea,
and also many things which have been.
22 And he shall also write concerning the end of the world.
23 Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true; and
behold they are written in the book which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the
Jew; and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book
proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written were plain and pure,
and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men.
24 And behold, the things which this
apostle of the Lamb shall write are
many things which thou hast seen; and behold, the remainder shalt thou see.
25 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter thou
shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should write
them.
26 And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and
they have written them; and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity, according
to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of
Israel.
The angel showed me a man in a white robe who would write about the end of the world.
His writings will be plain, true, and easy to understand.
27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that
the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of the angel.
28 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I should write the remainder
of the things which I saw and heard; wherefore the things which I have written sufficeth
me; and I have written but a small part of the things which I saw.
29 And I bear record that I saw the things which my father saw, and the
angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.
But I, Nephi, am forbidden to write about the other things that I saw and heard. .
30 And now I make an end of speaking concerning the things which I saw
while I was carried away in the spirit; and if allthe things which I saw are not
written, the things which I have written are true. And thus it is. Amen.
So I'll stop writing now.
But it's all true. And thus it is. Amen.
