Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 14:13
"the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God"
New Testament Revelation 17:14
"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them"

Offered to weigh. Both texts, inside their whore-figure material, gather a confederacy to war on the Lamb and record the Lamb's victory. 'fight against the Lamb' stands only at 1 Nephi 14:13 in the corpus; 'make war with the Lamb' only at Revelation 17:14. What keeps this interpretive rather than paraphrase: the shared wording reduces to the Lamb as the object of a war-verb, and the actors differ — in 1 Nephi the mother of abominations gathers multitudes among the Gentiles, in Revelation ten horns who are ten kings give their power to the beast. The victory clauses also sit differently: Revelation states it in 17:14, while 1 Nephi states it in the following verse, 14:14, where the power of the Lamb descends upon the saints. Reported without scoring: Revelation 17:14 continues 'for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings', a formula with no Book of Mormon counterpart (the corpus carries it at Revelation 17:14, 19:16, 1 Timothy 6:15 and, in parts, Deuteronomy 10:17, Psalms 136:3, Daniel 2:37, Ezra 7:12, Ezekiel 26:7). Note also that the title 'Lamb of God' never appears in Revelation, whose title is 'the Lamb' absolute; in the corpus 'Lamb of God' stands in the Book of Mormon, at John 1:29 and 1:36, and at D&C 88:106 ('The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone') — thirty-six verses in all, recounted 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze. The Revelation-side contrast is unaffected: the new carrier is not in Revelation. The corpus gives no account of the parallel; origin outside this wiki's scope. Class (c). asserted_by wiki.
