Introduction
1 Nephi 14 concludes the account of Nephi’s vision. In
this part of the vision, Nephi was told of the blessings
promised to those who repent and hearken unto the
Lord, and the cursings that will come upon the wicked
who harden their hearts against the Lord. Nephi was
also shown that the Lord would help and protect
those who live righteously and keep their covenants
and that He would destroy the great and abominable
church of the devil.
