125 And the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil, which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the children of men, and leadeth them away into broad roads, that they may perish, and are lost;
126 And the large and spacious building which thy father saw is vain imaginations and the pride of the children of men.
127 And a great and a terrible gulf divideth them; yea, even the word of the justice of the eternal God, and the Messiah who is the Lamb of God, of whom the Holy Ghost beareth record, from the beginning of the world until this time, and from this time henceforth and for ever.
128 And while the angel spake these words, I beheld and saw that the seed of my brethren did contend against my seed, according to the word of the angel;
129 And because of the pride of my seed, and the temptations of the devil, I beheld that the seed of my brethren did overpower the people of my seed.
130 And it came to pass that I beheld and saw the people of the seed of my brethren, that they had overcome my seed; and they went forth in multitudes upon the face of the land.
131 And I saw them gathered together in multitudes;
132 And I saw wars and rumors of wars among them; and in wars, and rumors of wars, I saw many generations pass away.
133 And the angel said unto me, Behold, these shall dwindle in unbelief.
134 And it came to pass that I beheld after they had dwindled in unbelief, they became a dark and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations.
135 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying, Look! And I looked and beheld many nations and kingdoms.
