Abstract

Those who war against Zion, God, and the Saints of God are those who belong to the church of the Devil or the great and abominable church. This article discusses the apostasy of Christ’s church after his death and the death of the apostles, and compares the apocalyptic references (including John’s Revelation) to the apostasy in 1 Nephi 13-14. Terms and identities relating to the great and abominable church both historically and topologically are defined and discussed.
