1 Nephi 12:1-10

Nephi's vision deals with many eras of history. In Verse 1 of Chapter 12, Nephi is given a vision of his descendants in the land of promise. He sees that they will become more numerous than the sands of the sea. He is also shown that they will have battles with each other and that many will be slain on both sides by the sword.

He is now shown that after many generations, that there are so many cities that he did not number them. In Verse 4, he sees that there will be much darkness and many storms will destroy many of those cities. After the mists of darkness lift, he saw that those who had survived were able to receive a visit from Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. At this point he truly is the Lamb of God because he had been sacrificed and killed, as the people would do with sacrificing a lamb under the law of Moses. Nephi sees that the Holy Ghost fell on twelve others of his seed and they were chosen and ordained of God.

The angel then instructs Nephi that the people of the House of Israel will be judged of the original twelve apostles. Nephi and his seed are included in that because they are of the House of Israel. I believe that we will, too, because I am of the tribe of Ephraim, a grandson of Israel. All of us will be. Lastly, for today, Nephi is told that the twelve disciples of the New World will be righteous men, and because of their faith on the Lamb of God they will be righteous forever, and also because of this faith, their garments are made white in the blood of Jesus Christ. I know that if we have this faith (remember that faith is an action word) in Him, our garments will be made white, too.
