1 Nephi 12:18

and the large and spacious building which thy father saw, is vain imaginations, and the pride of the children of men. And a great and a terrible gulf divideth them; yea, even the word of the justice of the Eternal God, and Jesus Christ, which is the Lamb of God, of whom the Holy Ghost beareth record, from the beginning of the world until this time, and from this time henceforth and forever.

The large, fancy building your father saw represents empty dreams and people’s pride. A great and terrible gap separates them. This gap is the word of God’s justice and Jesus Christ, who is the Lamb of God. The Holy Ghost tells about him from the beginning of the world until now, and from now on forever.

“That huge, fancy building your father saw represents human vanity and pride. A terrible gulf separates them—it’s the word of God’s eternal justice and Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. The Holy Spirit has testified of him from the world’s beginning until now, and will forever.”
