1 Nephi 11
The Book of Mormon for Beginners
The Spirit of the Lord took Nephi to the top of a high mountain, and Nephi asked to see the vision. The Spirit then showed Nephi the tree and asked what he desired. Nephi asked what the vision meant, and an angel came and showed him the birth of Christ. Nephi then understood that the tree represented the love of God. The angel showed him the ministry of Christ and John the Baptist and the apostles, and Nephi figured out that the iron rod represented the word of God. The angel then showed him the death of Christ, and Nephi realized that the building full of laughing people represented the pride of the world, and then he saw it fall (dramatically).
