Moroni’s Addition to the Mormon’s Record

Part of: Moroni Finalizes the Book of Mormon

• Having received his father Mormon’s plates, Moroni begins to add to them, per Mormon’s request.
• Moroni asks the reader not to condemn this record because of its imperfections.
• Moroni writes about his people’s destruction, and identifies himself as a descendant of Nephi.
• Moroni announces that he is the one who will hide this record; he explains that he who brings this record to light in the future will be blessed, but no one will use the plates to get gain.
• The Book of Mormon will shine forth out of darkness by the power of God.
• Moroni acknowledges that the record has faults, but warns against those who forcefully demand to see the plates on which it is written.
• Moroni additionally warns against those who will try to go against the work of God.
