Canonization of the Bible in The Middle East and Europe (c. 450 B.C. - A.D. 400)
26. (1 Ne. 13:23-25) The Bible (Old Testament) goes forth in purity from the Jews to the Gentiles. (Related passage: Morm. 7:8. The O.T. canon was fixed by the time of Ezra (457 B.C.). The Septauagint (a translation of the Hebrew 0.T. into Greek) was made about 250-150 B.C. and was in use at the time of Christ. It became corrupt through repeated copyings and revisions.)
27. (1 Ne. 13:26) The Bible (New Testament) goes forth from the twelve apostles to the Jews to the Gentiles. (Related passage: Morm. 7:8. The N.T churches in Palestine, Asia Minor, Greece, Crete and Rome began collecting books and letters of church leaders before A.D. 100.
Irenaeus (130-200), Tertullian (160-200), Origen (185-254) and Eusebius (264-340) were among early writers who helped formulate the N.T. canon. The Council of Carthage (397 A.D.) formally accepted the 27 N.T. books we have today.)
The Middle East and Europe During the "Christian" Era and the Dark Ages
(c. A.D. 100 A.D. - A.D. 1700 )
28. (1 Ne. 13:1-3) There are many nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles. (The Roman Empire began its decline under Commodus, A.D. 180-192. The Empire divided into East and West in A.D. 395. The Western Empire fell to the Barbarians in A.D. 476, ushering in the Dark Ages as many small new kingdoms were established. The Eastern portion of the Empire fell in A.D. 1453 to the Turks.)
29. (1 Ne. 13:4-9; 26) A great and abominable church is founded among the nations of the Gentiles. (Fulfillment clues: Among the nations of the Gentiles, therefore after the fall of the Western portion of the Roman Empire in A.D. 476; after the Bible has gone forth from the twelve apostles and the Jews to the Gentiles, and after the death of the apostles (D&C 86:1-3). Historical notes: Individual congregations were persecuted by the Romans till the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian. He exhorted all his subjects to embrace Christianity (A.D. 325). Emperor Theodosius (A.D. 378-395) made Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, and made church membership compulsory, while forceably suppressing all other religions. This filled the churches with unregenerate people. The corrupt, paganized, unregenerate church which evolved after being influenced by Rome appears to be the fulfillment of Nephi’s prophecy of the formation of a great and abominable church. The church gained power and vast membership in the period between the 4th and the 6th centuries A.D.)
30. (1 Ne. 13:7-8) The great and abominable church is characterized by gold and silver, precious clothing and many harlots. (Related passages: Rev. 17:4; 18:3, 11-16. Historical example: Pope Zacharias (A.D. 741-752) helped Pepin the Short become king of the Germanic Franks. Pepin then conquered the Lombards in Italy and donated their lands to the pope in A.D. 754 to repay the favor.)
31. (1 Ne. 13:5,9) The great and abominable church binds, tortures and slays the saints of God, and brings them down into captivity for the praise of the world. (Related passages: Rev. 17:6; 18:20, 24; 13:7-8. Persecution of others in the name of the church had already begun in Paul’s day, as Judaizers (Jewish Christians) attempted to force Gentile converts to live the law of Moses (Acts 15:1-35; 21:20-25; Gal. 2:1-16). Jesus warned of persecutions and betrayals among the saints (Mt. 24:9-12). When the Roman emperors embraced Christianity, they began warfare and persecutions in the name of the church. Emperor Constantine fought under the banner of Christ (A.D. 313); Emperor Theodosius (A.D. 378-395) used Christian mobs to attack heathens. The church became a politicized organization in the spirit and pattern of Imperial Rome. Leo I (A.D. 440-461), bishop of Rome, obtained backing from Emperor Valentinian III (A.D. 445), then asserted that resistance to his authority was a sure way to hell and advocated the death penalty for heresy. Pope Innocent III (A.D. 1198-1216) began the Inquisition, using church courts for the detection and punishment of heretics. Popes used it for more than 500 years to maintain power. It put to death vast multitudes in Spain, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands. Especially strong during the Protestant Reformation, the Inquisition put at least 900,000 to death in the 30 years between A.D. 1540 and 1570. The church waged war to suppress criticism in a crusade against the Albigenses (A.D. 1208), war against the Waldenses (A.D. 1540), the slaying of 70,000 Hugenots in St. Bartholomew’s Massacre (A.D. 1572), etc.
32. (1 Ne. 13:26, 32, 34) The great and abominable church takes many plain and precious covenants and parts of the gospel away. Early ecumenical councils made profound changes which lost essential doctrinal understandings. For example, early Christians understood that the Father and the Son were separate beings, though united in purpose, a view supported by Arius. Athanasius asserted that Christ was of the same essence (the same being) as God the Father. The Council of Nicaea accepted Athanasius’s position as doctrine, altering the church’s concept of the nature of God. This doctrinal error has caused continuing conflict and redefining of creeds in councils of both Catholics and Protestants. Other doctrinal changes included celebacy of the clergy, image and relic veneration, transubstantiation, the immaculate conception of Mary, the inquisition, salvation by the purchase of indulgences, supposed papal infallibility, the pope as an earthly king and as the vicar of Christ, etc.
33. (1 Ne. 13:2 7) The great and abominable church perverts the ways of the Lord, blinding the eyes and hardening the hearts of men. (Related passages: Rev. 18:23; 13:12-18. Historical examples: Corruption in the church and its leadership during the middle ages is well known. A.D. 870-1050 is called by historians the "midnight of the dark ages" because it was an era filled with bribery, corruption, immorality and bloodshed. A.D. 904-963 is called the "rule of the harlots." Sergius III (904-911) had a mistress, Marozia. She and her mother, Theodora, controlled the naming of popes for half a century John X (914-928) was brought from Ravenna to Rome and made pope by Theodora for the more convenient gratification of her passions. He was smothered to death by Marozia. John XII (955-963), Marozia’s grandson, was killed by a woman’s enraged husband while the pope was committing adultery with her. Boniface VII (984-985) murdered Pope John XIV. Benedict VIII (1012-1024) bought the office of pope with open bribery. Benedict IX (1033-1045), the "worst of all popes", was made pope as a boy 12 years old. He committed murders and adulteries openly, till the people drove him out of Rome. Gregory VI (1045-1046) bought the papacy. Three rival popes, Benedict IX, Gregory VI and Sylvester III, all functioned at the same time.
34. (1 Ne. 13:28) The Bible goes through the hands of the great and abominable church, and many plain and precious things are taken away from the book. (Related passages:
1 Ne. 13:29, 32, 34; 14:23. These deletions possibly occurred before the canon of the N.T. was finalized, and may involve materials not included in the canon which are now unknown to us. In an effort to establish a standardized text, Jerome translated the Bible (both O.T. & N.T.) into Latin (A.D. 382-404), a version called the Vulgate. His Bible translation was used throughout the western church all through the middle ages. The Council of Trent (A.D. 1546) adopted the Vulgate as the standard Latin version to be used in the church.)
35. (1 Ne. 13:29) The Bible goes forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles after the plain and precious things are taken away. (Related passage: Morm. 7:8. While many nations had access to copies of Bible translations in Latin and Greek, it was not till the invention of the printing press (A.D. 1440) and the Protestant Reformation that there was significant emphasis on the production of Bibles in many different languages. By A.D. 1500 there were more than 1,700 presses in almost 300 towns and they had published between 15 million and 20 million volumes, mostly of liturgical and theological works, including many Bibles.)
36. (1 Ne. 13:12) Columbus crosses the ocean to the Lamanites in the Americas. (Columbus made four voyages to the Americas, exploring various areas in the Bahama Islands, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Jamaica and Honduras (A.D. 1492, 1493, 1498, 1502)
37. (1 Ne. 13:13-14) Multitudes of Gentiles come out of captivity to the Americas. (Europe, during the 1600s, experienced wars and intense religious persecutions caused by the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation. The Thirty Years War (A.D. 1618-1648), fought between the forces of a Roman Catholic Hapsburg emperor and a Calvinist opponent, involved all of Europe, directly or indirectly. Protestant factions also fought among themselves. When a monarch embraced a religion, those of other beliefs often were persecuted, forced into foreign exile, or executed as heretics or traitors. The Pilgrims (1620, Mass.), Walloons (1623, N.Y.), Puritans (1630-42, Mass.), Roman Catholics (1634, Md.), and Quakers (1655-62) are among those who came to America out of captivity, persecution or exile, seeking religious and political freedom. Others were released from debtors’ prisons to settle in the new land.)
38. (1 Ne. 13:29) The Gentiles who go out of captivity bring the Bible across the many waters to America. (Many of the early colonists were protestants who came seeking religious freedom. They brought their Bibles with them. Those who read English probably carried King James translations (first published in 1611), or copies of the Bishop’s Bible (1568), Geneva Bible (1560), Great Bible (1539) or Matthew’s Bible (1537). Those who read German probably had Martin Luther’s translation (1534), the most popular protestant translation. French-speaking protestants probably used Olivetan’s translation (1535); Spanish readers probably carried the revision by C. de Valera (1602).
The Americas (c. 1600 - the Present)
39. (1 Ne. 13:14) There are many multitudes of Gentiles in the Americas. (By the year 1700 U.S. colonists probably numbered about 250,000 and were increasing at a rate seldom equalled in the history of western nations. There were large bodies of English, Dutch, Germans and Scotch-Irish, and smaller groups of Huguenot French, Scotch Highianders, Swiss, and Scandinavians.)
40. (1 Ne. 13:14, 34; 15:17) The Lord visits the Lamanites in judgment, smiting and scattering them by the hand of the Gentiles. (Related prophecies: 2 Ne. 10:18; 26:19; 1 Ne. 22:7; 3 Ne. 20:27-28. When the Europeans came to the western hemisphere, epidemic diseases which they brought with them decimated the Indian tribes, often killing two-thirds or more of them within a year. Famines, slave labor in the mines, and European weapons killed millions more. Cortez caused the fall of the Aztec empire in Mexico (A.D. 1519-21; Pizarro conquered the Incas in Peru (A.D. 1531-33). The surviving Indians lost their property—almost all Indian lands were confiscated or "purchased" by the Europeans.)
41. (1 Ne. 13:30-31) The Lord doesn’t allow the Gentiles to completely destroy the Lamanites nor the mixture of Nephite descendants living among them. (Scholars estimate there were about 100 million Indians in the western hemisphere when the Europeans came, including 41 million in the Mexico area of Central America and 30 million in the Andes area of South America. Today there are about 4 million in Central America, 8 million in South America, and about 456,000 in the western hemisphere north of Mexico. The Indian population was reduced almost 90%.)
42. (1 Ne. 13:15-16) The Gentiles obtain America as a land for their inheritance. (Related prophecies: 2 Ne. 10:10; 1 Ne. 22:7. The eastern colonies of the U.S. were freed in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783); the Louisiana Purchase was made from France in 1803; Spain ceded Florida in 1803; Texas separated from Mexico in 1845; the Oregon Territory was received from Great Britain in 1846; southern Arizona was purchased from Mexico in 1853; Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867; and Hawaii was annexed to the U.S. in 1898.)
43. (1 Ne. 13:17) England battles against the American Gentiles upon the water and upon the land. (Wars in U.S. territory involving England, France and Spain: King William’s War (1689-1697); Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713); the War of Jenkin’s Ear (1739-1742); King George’s War (1743-1748); the French & Indian War (1755-1763); and the Revolutionary War (1775-1783).)
44. (1 Ne. 13:18-19) The American Gentiles are delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations. (Related passages: 2 Ne. 10:11-13; 3 Ne. 21:4. Victorious in wars: Revolutionary War (1775-1783); War of 1812 (1812-1815); Mexican War (1846-1848); Spanish-American War (1898); World War I (1914-1918); World War 11(1939-1945); etc.)
45. (1 Ne. 13:20) The American Gentiles prosper in the land. (Establishment and rapid growth of manufacturing, transportation and financial industries. The abundance of labor, capital and natural resources enabled the U.S. to become the world’s leading industrial and agricultural producer.)
46. (1 Ne. 13:20-23) The American Gentiles have the Bible. (Related passage: Morm. 7:8. Settled originally by colonists seeking freedom of worship, the U.S. had a high proportion of Bible-readers in its population.)
47. (1 Ne. 13:29) Many of the Gentiles stumble because plain and precious parts have been taken from the Bible and the gospel; Satan has great power over them. (Related prophecies: 1 Ne. 13:28; 2 Ne. 26:20-22, 29; 27:1; 28:3-15.)
48. (1 Ne. 13:30) The Gentiles are lifted up by the power of God above all other nations. (Related prophecy: 1 Ne. 22:7.)
49. (1 Ne. 13:34-36) The Book of Mormon and the gospel come forth to the Gentiles. (Related prophecies: 2 Ne. 27:6-27; 30:3; D&C 19:26-27; 3 Ne. 21:1-2.)

3 Ne. 21:1-7; 26:8.)
53. (1 Ne. 13:39-40) Other books come forth by the power of the Lamb which convince Gentiles, Lamanites and Jews the Bible is true. (Related passages: Morm. 7:8-9; 2 Ne. 29:1-14. These books include The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price.)
54. (1 Ne. 13:40) Other books make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away. (Related passage: 2 Ne. 29:1-14. These books include The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price.
55. (1 Ne. 15:14-15) (When they receive the gospel) the Lamanites know they’re of the house of Israel, know about their forefathers, and know about the Redeemer and his doctrine. (Related passages: 2 Ne. 30:3-6; Morm. 7:9-10.)
56. (1 Ne. 13:41) The Book of Mormon and Bible are established in one. (Related passages: 2 Ne. 29:1-14; Morm. 7:8-9. See Ezek. 3 7:15-28 for an explanation of the period in which this prophecy is to receive more complete fulfillment.)
Worldwide (The Future)
57. (1 Ne. 13:42) Christ will manifest himself to all nations, both unto the Jews and the Gentiles. (Appearances already recorded: JS-H 1:11-20; D&C 76:19-24; 110:1-10. Prophecies of other last days appearances: D&C 42:36, 3 Ne. 21:23-25 (New Jerusalem temple); Dan. 7:13-14 (Adam-ondi-Ahman); Zech. 12:10-14; 13:6; 14:4; D&C 45:48-52 (Mt. of Olives); Ezek. 44:1-3 (Jerusalem temple); D&C 133:18-20 (other appearances).)
58. (1 Ne. 14:1-2) Righteous Conditional #1: If the (American) Gentiles hearken unto Christ, they’ll be a blessed people upon the promised land and will not be brought down into captivity. (Related passage: 2 Ne. 10:10-19.)
59. (1 Ne. 14:3-4) Righteous Conditional #2: If the (American) Gentiles hearken unto Christ, the great pit dug for them by the great and abominable church will be filled by those who digged it, to their utter destruction. (See # 67. Related passages: 1 Ne. 22:13-15; 2 Ne. 10:15-16; Rev. 17:15-17.)
60. (1 Ne. 14:5-6) Wicked Conditional: If the (American) Gentiles don’t repent, they must perish. (Related passages: 2 Ne. 28:32; 30:1; 1 Ne. 22:23; 3 Ne. 16:10)
61. (1 Ne. 14:7) The Lord will do a marvelous work which will divide the people, convincing some unto life eternal, delivering others with hardened hearts and blinded minds unto both temporal and spiritual captivity and destruction. (Note that the terms "marvelous work" and "marvelous work and a wonder" are continually used in context with references which allude to this great division. It appears that those terms refer to this devisive event rather than to the restoration of the gospel. See 2 Ne. 28:19-20, 26-29; 28:32-29:14; 30:1-2, 10; 3 Ne. 16:10-15; 21:9-25; Is. 29:7-10, 13-16, 20-21; 1 Ne. 22:8-19; 2 Ne. 25:15-18; 27:1-5, 25-32.)
