Nephi’s vision has the following chronological pattern:
- The ministry and atoning sacrifice of the Lord (see 1 Nephi 11:27–36).
- Future history of Nephi’s descendants (see 1 Nephi 12).
- A great gentile nation in the land of promise (see 1 Nephi 13, 14:1–8).
- The great and abominable church that makes war with the church of the Lamb of God (see vv. 9–14).
- Future events seen by Nephi which were to be written by the Apostle John (see vv. 18–27).
