Let,s see what the Book of Revelation says about it. In Revelation 17 and 18, the Apostle John can see the Great and Abominable Church in vision in the Last Days.
REVELATION 17. READ ALL. John is being shown that Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations, has become established throughout the earth.
REVELATION 18. READ ALL. The Saints are called OUT of Babylon so they DO NOT do the sins of Babylon. Babylon the Great falls and those who went along with her and partook of her sins are sad at her destruction.
Even the Prophet Nephi saw in vision that the church of the devil is set up among the Gentiles in the Last Days, along with the colonizing of America, and many other things.
Nephi recorded this at their arrival on the Western Coast of Central America after they arrived.
Remember, this is between 600 and 592 B. C.
1 NEPHI 13: 5 But, read the whole chapter.
5 And the angel said unto me: Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity.
A Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet at Kirtland, Ohio, 27 December 1832, from the Lord in OUR DAY, gave the Prophet the Revelation known as the "Olive Leaf ".
It IS A MUST READ for ALL.
DOCTRINE and COVENANTS 88: 94
94 And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, that persecuteth the saints of God, that shed their blood—she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea—behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her bands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it.
It still being between 600 and 592 B.C., the Prophet Nephi was shown this vision by the Angel that was showing and explaining the Vision that Nephi's Father, Lehi, had seen, and the blessings and cursings which would fall upon the Gentiles, in the Last Days.
(We are the Gentiles in the Last Days)
1 NEPHI 14: 8-17 READ ALL WHEN YOU CAN.
9 And it came to pass that he (The Angel) said unto me: (Nephi) Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.
10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.
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.
15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church, insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth.
(THIS IS HAPPENING NOW and is on the INCREASE)
16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—
17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.
That DAY began with the War of 1812, Civil War, WWI and WWII and what is happening ALL OVER THE EARTH. And this will continue until the End.
He said the Work of the Father would commence, and it did.
In 1820 Joseph Smith had the First Vision and he was chosen to Open the Last Dispensation of the Fullness of Times and the RESTORED GOSPEL and the TRUE Church of Christ was Restored to the Earth for the Last Time before the Savior comes.
The Prophet Joseph Smith recorded what happened in his own words.
