and abominable church, which is

       the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for

       they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands

       shall fall upon their own heads, and they shall be drunken with

       their own blood.

      1 Nephi 22:14

       14 And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of

       Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall

       into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord.

       And all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that

       great whore, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea,

       that great and abominable church, shall tumble to the dust and

       great shall be the fall of it.

      1 Nephi 22:15

       15 For behold, saith the prophet, the time cometh speedily that

       Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of

       men; for the day soon cometh that all the proud and they who do

       wickedly shall be as stubble; and the day cometh that they must

       be burned.

      1 Nephi 22:16

       16 For the time soon cometh that the fulness of the wrath of God

       shall be poured out upon all the children of men; for he will not

       suffer that the wicked shall destroy the righteous.

      1 Nephi 22:17

       17 Wherefore, he will preserve the righteous by his power, even

       if it so be that the fulness of his wrath must come, and the

       righteous be preserved, even unto the destruction of their

       enemies by fire. Wherefore, the righteous need not fear; for

       thus saith the prophet, they shall be saved, even if it so be as

       by fire.

      1 Nephi 22:18

       18 Behold, my brethren, I say unto you, that these things must

       shortly come; yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must

       come; and it must needs be upon the face of this earth; and it

       cometh unto men according to the flesh if it so be that they will

       harden their hearts against the Holy One of Israel.

      1 Nephi 22:19

       19 For behold, the righteous shall not perish; for the time

       surely must come that all they who fight against Zion shall be

       cut off.

      1 Nephi 22:20

       20 And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto

       the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A

       prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me;

       him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

       And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that

       prophet shall be cut off from among the people.

      1 Nephi 22:21

       21 And now I, Nephi, declare unto you, that this prophet of whom

       Moses spake was the Holy One of Israel; wherefore, he shall

       execute judgment in righteousness.

      1 Nephi 22:22

       22 And the righteous need not fear, for they are those who shall

       not be confounded. But it is the kingdom of the devil, which

       shall be built up among the children of men, which kingdom is

       established among them which are in the flesh—

      1 Nephi 22:23

       23 For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are

       built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power

       over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in

       the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh

       and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity;

       yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil

       are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; they are those

       who must be brought low in the dust; they are those who must be

       consumed as stubble; and this is according to the words of the

       prophet.

      1 Nephi 22:24

       24 And the time cometh speedily that the righteous must be led

       up as calves of the stall, and the Holy One of Israel must reign

       in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory.

      1 Nephi 22:25

       25 And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the

       earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there

       shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep,

       and in him they shall find pasture.

      1 Nephi 22:26

       26 And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan has no

       power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many

       years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for

       they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.

      1 Nephi 22:27

       27 And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you that all these things

       must come according to the flesh.

      1 Nephi 22:28

       28 But, behold, all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people shall

       dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so be that they will

       repent.

      1 Nephi 22:29

       29 And now I, Nephi, make an end; for I durst not speak further

       as yet concerning these things.

      1 Nephi 22:30

       30 Wherefore, my brethren, I would that ye should consider that

       the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are

       true; and they testify that a man must be obedient to the

       commandments of God.

      1 Nephi 22:31

       31 Wherefore, ye need not suppose that I and my father are the

       only ones that have testified, and also taught them. Wherefore,

       if ye shall be obedient to the commandments, and endure to the

       end, ye shall be saved at the last day. And thus it is. Amen.
