138 And he said 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 foundation of a great church.
140 And the angel said unto me, Behold the foundation 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 foundation 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.
146 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me, Behold the wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren!
147 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land.
148 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters.
