Book of Mormon Haiku - 1st Nephi Chapter 12

Destruction, then peace

Apex of Nephite hist'ry

How art thou fallen?


1 Nephi 12 - Nephi sees in vision: the land of promise; the righteousness, iniquity and downfall of its inhabitants; the coming of the Lamb of God among them; how the twelve disciples and the twelve apostles shall judge Israel; the loathsome and filthy state of those who dwindle in unbelief.



It is difficult to image Nephi's emotions as he viewed the future history of his children. Through it all, he knew that the Lord's promise of restoration was absolutely certain!
