135 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me, saying: "Look!" And I looked and beheld many nations and kingdoms.
136 And the angel saith unto me: "What beholdest thou?"
137 And I said: "I behold many nations and kingdoms."
138 And he saith unto me: "These are the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles."
139 And it came to pass that I saw among the nations of the Gentiles the formation of a great church;
140 And the angel said unto me: "Behold the formation of a church which is most abominable above all other churches, Which slayeth the saints of God, yea, and tortureth them, and bindeth them down, and yoketh them with a yoke of iron, and bringeth them down into captivity."
141 And it came to pass that I beheld this great and abominable church; And I saw the devil, that he was the founder of it;
142 And I also saw gold and silver and silks and scarlets and fine-twined linen and all manner of precious clothing; And I saw many harlots.
143 And the angel spake unto me, saying: "Behold, the gold and the silver and the silks and the scarlets and the fine-twined linen and the precious clothing and the harlots are the desires of this great and abominable church;
144 And also for the praise of the world do they destroy the saints of God and bring them down into captivity."
145 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld many waters; And they divided the Gentiles from the seed of my brethren.
