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.

1 Nephi 12:2 2 And it came to pass that I beheld multitudes gathered together to battle, one against the other; and I beheld wars, and rumors of wars, and great slaughters with the sword among my people.

1 Nephi 12:3 3 And it came to pass that I beheld many generations pass away, after the manner of wars and contentions in the land; and I beheld many cities, yea, even that I did not number them.

1 Nephi 12:4 4 And it came to pass that I saw a mist of darkness on the face of the land of promise; and I saw lightnings, and I heard thunderings, and earthquakes, and all manner of tumultuous noises; and I saw the earth and the rocks, that they rent; and I saw mountains tumbling into pieces; and I saw the plains of the earth, that they were broken up; and I saw many cities that they were sunk; and I saw many that they were burned with fire; and I saw many that did tumble to the earth, because of the quaking thereof.

1 Nephi 12:5 5 And it came to pass after I saw these things, I saw the vapor 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.

1 Nephi 12:8 8 And the angel spake unto me, saying:  Behold the twelve 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.

1 Nephi 12:12 12 And I, Nephi, also saw many of the fourth generation who passed away in righteousness.

1 Nephi 12:13 13 And it came to pass that I saw the multitudes of the earth gathered together.

1 Nephi 12:14 14 And the angel said unto me:  Behold thy seed, and also the seed of thy brethren.
