Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she

       was exceedingly fair and white.

      1 Nephi 11:14

       14 And it came to pass that I saw the heavens open; and an angel

       came down and stood before me; and he said unto me: Nephi, what

       beholdest thou?

      1 Nephi 11:15

       15 And I said unto him: A virgin, most beautiful and fair above

       all other virgins.

      1 Nephi 11:16

       16 And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God?

      1 Nephi 11:17

       17 And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children;

       nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.

      1 Nephi 11:18

       18 And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is

       the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh.

      1 Nephi 11:19

       19 And it came to pass that I beheld that she was carried away

       in the Spirit; and after she had been carried away in the Spirit

       for the space of a time the angel spake unto me, saying: Look!

      1 Nephi 11:20

       20 And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in

       her arms.

      1 Nephi 11:21

       21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even

       the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the meaning of the

       tree which thy father saw?

      1 Nephi 11:22

       22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which

       sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men;

       wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things.

      1 Nephi 11:23

       23 And he spake unto me, saying: Yea, and the most joyous to the

       soul.

      1 Nephi 11:24

       24 And after he had said these words, he said unto me: Look!

       And I looked, and I beheld the Son of God going forth among the

       children of men; and I saw many fall down at his feet and worship

       him.

      1 Nephi 11:25

       25 And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which

       my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the

       fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters

       are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that

       the tree of life was a representation of the love of God.

      1 Nephi 11:26

       26 And the angel said unto me again: Look and behold the

       condescension of God!

      1 Nephi 11:27

       27 And I looked and beheld the Redeemer of the world, of whom my

       father had spoken; and I also beheld the prophet who should

       prepare the way before him. And the Lamb of God went forth and

       was baptized of him; and after he was baptized, I beheld the

       heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and

       abide upon him in the form of a dove.

      1 Nephi 11:28

       28 And I beheld that he went forth ministering unto the people,

       in power and great glory; and the multitudes were gathered

       together to hear him; and I beheld that they cast him out from

       among them.

      1 Nephi 11:29

       29 And I also beheld twelve others following him. And it came

       to pass that they were carried away in the Spirit from before my

       face, and I saw them not.

      1 Nephi 11:30

       30 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again,

       saying: Look! And I looked, and I beheld the heavens open again,

       and I saw angels descending upon the children of men; and they

       did minister unto them.

      1 Nephi 11:31

       31 And he spake unto me again, saying: Look! And I looked, and

       I beheld the Lamb of God going forth among the children of men.

       And I beheld multitudes of people who were sick, and who were

       afflicted with all manner of diseases, and with devils and

       unclean spirits; and the angel spake and showed all these things

       unto me. And they were healed by the power of the Lamb of God;

       and the devils and the unclean spirits were cast out.

      1 Nephi 11:32

       32 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again,

       saying: Look! And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he

       was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was

       judged of the world; and I saw and bear record.

      1 Nephi 11:33

       33 And I, Nephi, saw that he was lifted up upon the cross and

       slain for the sins of the world.

      1 Nephi 11:34

       34 And after he was slain I saw the multitudes of the earth,

       that they were gathered together to fight against the apostles of

       the Lamb; for thus were the twelve called by the angel of the

       Lord.

      1 Nephi 11:35

       35 And the multitude of the earth was gathered together; and I

       beheld that they were in a large and spacious building, like unto

       the building which my father saw. And the angel of the Lord

       spake unto me again, saying: Behold the world and the wisdom

       thereof; yea, behold the house of Israel hath gathered together

       to fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

      1 Nephi 11:36

       36 And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the

       great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it

       fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel

       of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the

       destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that

       shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

      1 Nephi 12 Chapter 12

      1 Nephi 12:1

       1 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: Look, and

       behold thy seed, and also the seed of thy brethren. And I looked

       and beheld the land of promise; and I beheld multitudes of

       people, yea, even as it were in number as many as the sand of the

       sea.
