16  And behold, whosoever believeth on my words, them will I ^bvisit with the manifestation of my Spirit; and they shall be born of me, even of water and of the Spirit—

  1  And it came to pass that there was a ^avoice heard among all the inhabitants of the earth, upon all the face of this land, crying:

  21  Yea, at the time that he shall yield up the ghost there shall be ^bthunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours, and the earth shall shake and tremble; and the rocks which are upon the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;

  6  And there was also a great and terrible tempest; and there was terrible ^athunder, insomuch that it did shake the whole earth as if it was about to divide asunder.

  28  And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the ^asmoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

  18  And mount Sinai was altogether on a ^csmoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

  29  Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be heard of fires, and tempests, and ^bvapors of smoke in foreign lands;

  41  And they shall behold blood, and fire, and vapors of ^bsmoke.

  5  And it came to pass after I saw these things, I saw the vapor of darkness, that it passed from off the face of the earth; and behold, I saw multitudes who had not fallen because of the great and terrible judgments of the Lord.

  44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

  32  And the ^aearth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

  5  And they that kill the prophets, and the saints, the depths of the earth shall ^bswallow them up, saith the Lord of Hosts; and mountains shall cover them, and whirlwinds shall carry them away, and buildings shall fall upon them and crush them to pieces and grind them to powder.

  13  And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the earth; and they were not drowned in the depths of the sea; and they were not burned by fire, neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death; and they were not carried away in the whirlwind; neither were they overpowered by the vapor of smoke and of darkness.

  4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou ^bvisitest him?

  16  And it came to pass that I, Nephi, being exceedingly young, nevertheless being large in stature, and also having great desires to know of the mysteries of God, wherefore, I did cry unto the Lord; and behold he did ^bvisit me, and did soften my heart that I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father; wherefore, I did not rebel against him like unto my brothers.

  20  And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who had not fallen could feel the ^bvapor of darkness;

  8  And behold, the city of Gadiandi, and the city of Gadiomnah, and the city of Jacob, and the city of Gimgimno, all these have I caused to be sunk, and made ^ahills and valleys in the places thereof; and the inhabitants thereof have I buried up in the depths of the earth, to hide their wickedness and abominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints should not come up any more unto me against them.

  1  And now behold, it came to pass that all the people of the land did ^ahear these sayings, and did witness of it. And after these sayings there was silence in the land for the space of many hours;

  14  And now, whoso readeth, let him understand; he that hath the scriptures, let him search them, and see and behold if all these deaths and destructions by fire, and by smoke, and by tempests, and by whirlwinds, and by the ^copening of the earth to receive them, and all these things are not unto the fulfilling of the prophecies of many of the holy prophets.
