[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
1. Now I, Moroni, proceed to give my own thoughts upon the matters written herein, for they are unto me most precious.
2. Now the record states that the family of Mohonri was driven forth from an iniquitous land, even as were mine progenitors encouraged of Yahweh to depart Jerusalem.
3. Now this thing is wisdom, and the Elohim, knowing the weakness of man to succumb to his environment, encourages the righteous to flee from amidst the wicked.
4. This thing being also as a blessing to the obedient, for in division from wickedness they place themselves in a position to receive blessings otherwise withheld because of iniquity.
5. So we see the wisdom of god in separating apart his elect seed from the folly of men .
6. Yet in each situation Elohim allows opposition to depart with them.
7. As Laman and Lemuel were suffered to continue with the Lehites, so many of the people of the priesthood of Nimrod departed with the Mohonrites .
8. And all this that man might continually meet opposition toward the strengthening of his faith.
9. And that man might have opportunity to preach and teach the word of god to the less valiant, lest the offices of teacher and truth revealer die out from amongst them.
10. Now these things are done of god that there might be opposition in all things.
11. And for this cause did Elohim place a serpent in the peace of the paradise of Eden .
12. And because of this opposition man is continually faced with the possibility of departing from the true faith unto idolatry.
13. And as Elohim entrusts the priesthood of god to his worthy children, so doth he also withdraw such when their iniquity grows great.
14. And so it has been amongst my people.
15. And the lord our Elohim doth send unto men signs, or rather a lack of them, to warn him of his awful plight.
16. And so hath god done amongst my people, and the gifts of the holy spirit have died out from amongst them.
17. Nevertheless they in their arrogance yet pretend to the revelations of god.
18. Calling their good feelings inspiration, and their worldly insights knowledge from god.
19. Wherefore all the land hath grown corrupt and bereft of the knowledge of god, though they would feign claim it in their spiritual ignorance.
20. And we see how merciful is Elohim inasmuch as yearly he provided man with a day of judgment, at the sounding of the trumpets.
21. That they might be brought unto remembrance of all his ways, that man might judge himself, and humble himself .
22. That on the tenth day thereafter the high priest of god might ascend upward and inward unto god, and receive anew the precious gift of priesthood as a stewardship to the righteous for the following year.
23. Now mine people have also known this principle, for such was revealed afresh to Moses on Sinai, and transmitted in the traditions of mine fathers, through Lehi even down unto the present day.
24. But it has come to pass that as men departed from the true way of the Elohim and ceased to commune with angels on the day of atonement, the pride of man could not allow fallen man to accept an end to the priesthood they would feign claim.
25. And though bereft of a yearly renewal and confirmation of their authority, they continued from one year to the next claiming that which they do not have.
26. And so priestcraft hath infiltrated all the priesthood quorums of god in the land.
And only I, and the few faithful with me continue in the ways of the lord.
8 Moroni 2
1. Now the spirit expressly speaketh that in the last days all these things shall be known and practiced again.
2. Yet before that day during the times of the gentiles, god will entrust unto their hands authority of a certain sort, yet the fullness shall they not have.
3. For because of their unwillingness to observe all the laws of Zion and Israel, they shall be given only a shadow of what is more fully the heritage of the faithful.
4. And when god raises up unto them their Joseph, god will try to mold his people toward greater things.
5. But failing to convince man of his folly, god will leave them to their own particular version of the truth.
6. And will give them up to derision because of their pride and light mindedness and because of their stead- fast refusal to accept higher principles.
7. Because of this, that mighty prophet shall reveal unto them only a taste of what belongeth to Israel in the last days.
8. Scattering amongst them crumbs from the table of eternal life) bits and pieces of the temple rites of the Elohim, and fragments of knowledge as pertaineth unto godliness.
9. Now this god will w not to their cursing but out of his mercy.
10. For were the Elohim to deliver all his laws to these rebellious ones, they would, by eternal mandate, be under the obligation to observe them all.
11. And in failing so to do incurring the just displeasure of an offended god.
12. A god under the responsibility to meet out mercy and goodness to all who observe law, and punishment and justice to all who break the same.
13. The one being on the right hand, and the other on the left.
14. But god in his mercy will spare the gentiles the punishment of a law they are not prepared to abide.
15. And in their pride they shall take what little is allowed them, feign claiming an inheritance in the highest of the heavens on high.
16. But after that generation is dead, and after god hath prepared the world and sent into it his choicest daughters and sons, in that day shall god show the strength of his power and the might of his gospel.
17. And the elect shall be gathered from amongst the gentiles, and god shall take the fragments and seeds of his truth scattered among them. And shall add unto them an hundred fold.
18. And whereas formally they subsisted on a scarcity of spiritual meat, after those days sayeth the lord: I shall feed my people on the strength of mine gospel.
19. No longer shall they wander destitute and an hungered in a spiritual wasteland, but in a garden of delights shall they feast on the mysteries.
And in an abode of peace they will come to know god.
8 Moroni 3
1. At the end of times, when Elohim bestoweth on latter day men these choice and precious pearls of truth, there shall be amongst men chosen souls who have been prepared for the last time.
2. Souls who are prepared to feast on the fullness of the mysteries.
3. Souls who have been re served for those days because of their innate ability to recognize meatier truths and hear the voice of their master as it issueth forth from his servants; even their fellow brothers and sisters in the flesh.
4. And in the day god declareth his meatier doctrines amongst men, even in that day man shall be required to observe them, from first to last.
5. And those that hearken not shall nevertheless be under the obligation to observe the truth that confronts them, and it shall be required of them.
6. And through this the earth shall be cleansed.
7. For in their rebellion they shall pave the way for their own destruction.
8. And peace shall again prevail in paradise, and the serpent shall have no home there for a time.
9. That god might reap the bounty of his harvest, and prepare the ground for a new crop of wheat.
10. Blessed are all those that abide in his mercy in that day, for their souls shall be as a garden well watered, flourishing on the rich fruit of the messiah.
11. Enjoying and reaping all the blessings of the gospel that are reserved for they that strive toward perfection.
12. Who hunger for righteousness and who long for the earthly establishment of the kingdom of god in all it's glory and majesty. Amen.
