1 Nephi 14:12–14
12 And 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.
13 And 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.
14 And 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.
