“The Great and Spacious Building Was the Pride of the World and It Fell”

Bryan Richards

Neal A. Maxwell

"The gigantic, global collapse that is yet to come will not be that of a failing stock market, but the fall of hardened mind-sets and collective pride when it all finally tumbles. Nephi testified: 'It came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.' ("1 Ne. 11:361 Nephi 11:36.)" (Meek and Lowly, p. 54.)

1 Nephi 12 Nephi switches continents

Nephi's vision, thus far, has been about events which happen in Jerusalem. Chapter 12 contains a portion of the vision which deals with the history of the Nephites and Lamanites. It covers a time frame which parallels the Book of Mormon history (excluding the Jaredites).
