1 Nephi 13:30-34

Nephi's vision continues...

In Verse 30, we see that the Lord has lifted up this nation above all other nations. Additionally, even though the seed of Lehi had been driven forth and slain, they will not utterly be destroyed. The indigenous people of the Americas have been driven forth, with many killed. But, there are still small pockets of them still alive. Here in the United State, for example, we have reservations where they live today.

Next, the angel relates that God will not let the Gentiles remain in a state of blindness because the plain and precious parts of the Bible were taken away by the great and abominable church which was formed. (Remember, the great and abominable church is most likely not a specific church, but the specific group of people that do not follow God, but follow another, one who inspired them to take out those plain and precious parts of the Bible.)

On this, Joseph Smith said (from the Book of Mormon Institute manual), "I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 327).

Next, the angel says that God will visit the house of Israel in great judgment and be merciful unto the Gentiles. I'm not sure what it means that He will visit the house of Israel in great judgment. It is mentioned twice that He will do so. But, afterward, the angel says that God will bring forth much of His gospel which shall be plain and precious saith the Lamb.

We have seen this come to pass. It is in the scriptures: the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, continuing revelation through General Conference, and the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible. This will be discussed more later on.
