First Nephi 14 part 4
Fourth
To recap: the saints of God are scattered upon all the face of the earth, the great mother of abominations gathers together multitudes to fight against the Lamb of God, the power of the Lamb of God descends to arm the saints. So first there was an offensive, initiated by the church of the devil. Then defensive measures provided to the saints by God. Now there is a counter-offensive - a terrible reckoning for the great and abominable church. Earlier in Nephi's vision, he witnessed the scattering and smiting of the seed of his brethren by the Gentiles. The angel described it as the wrath of God (13:11,14). The above verse indicates that the wrath of God will be poured out in these last days. As could be said about each item in these few verses, these wars and rumors of wars may be in progress; however, note that it says "among all nations and kindreds of the earth". The day this happens is the day that preparing for the fulfillment of the covenants commences. The rest of Nephi's vision, (he says he only wrote a small part) is written by John the Apostle in the book of Revelation.
