[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, would conclude this record of the people of Mohonri.
2. For the genealogies of their people and the affairs of their kingdom I deem of less worth than that which I have hitherto written.
3. And with the passing of Mohonri and Jared from the flesh, and from the hasty coronation and anointing of Orihah their king, the light and glory of the Jaredites began to dim.
4. For Orihah was not anointed after the order of the anointing of Mohonri, but after a lesser order.
5. Nor were the greater mysteries revealed to Mohonri by the messiah revealed to his people.
6. And had they opportunity, then they would have not respected the seals and bans placed upon this revelation by the word of god, but would have opened them preparatory to their time, even unto their undoing.
7. Wherefore they were hidden from them.
8. Now a record of their proceedings, even unto their destruction, have I Moroni recorded upon the gentile plates of gold which I have deposited unto future generations far to the east.
9. But upon these plates, which are especially preserved unto the house of Israel, I have no desire nor promptings of the spirit to again record the affairs of this people after the reign of Orihah.
10. But he that desireth them can behold them on the other plates of Mormon which are destined to come forth first unto the gentiles.
11. But it pleaseth me to say that the brother of Jared, and his nephew Orihah after him, did persuade the people that they erect their kingdom and crown their king not on the land of their first arrival, but farther to the east and south toward the land which we call desolation among mine people.
12. And behold, this land of desolation is the very land to which the gentiles shall be driven after their departure from the faith.
13. And in that land they shall prosper even until the days when the lord god of Israel doth return the kingdom to Judah and unites it with Joseph.
14. When a true king and queen may reign in righteousness, and when the weightier mysteries of god shall be restored unto man.
15. For as I have aforetime said: until that day shall the lord give unto the gentiles a preparatory gospel.
16. And after those days, and in a new generation, will the lord god raise up the fallen crown of the house of Israel, and shall establish the kingdom of god on earth.
17. Blessed are all those destined to live in that day, for after a time of great upheaval and destruction shall dawn a new day of peace and purity. Amen.
1. And now I Moroni have one final thing to say unto those to whom this record shall come in the latter days, days of great trial and also great complacency as pertaineth to the spiritual.
2. O ye who are of the house of Israel after the manner of the spirit, O ye who shall receive this record behold, to thee I speak and I speak with boldness.
3. Declaring forthright that Jesus is the very Christ, and thy only sure road to salvation.
4. Only in and through him may you hope to inherit eternal peace.
5. And to inherit such peace your souls must needs become sanctified from all sin and perfected in all righteousness.
6. Wherefore, hear ye the word of the lord O Israel of the latter days:
7. I am the lord, the first and the last, the savior of all mankind.
8. Even as many as will hearken unto my voice, and obey the same.
9. I know the end from the beginning, and the first from the last.
10. I know of the foundation stone of the universe, and of the origin of man.
11. In my hand lies the gift of the mystery of salvation.
12. And I, saith your lord and god, am sore displeased with the affairs of your earth.
13. From the beginning have it's inhabitants gone astray from mine ordinances and broken the everlasting covenant.
14. Yet I have promised, and I the lord have not forsworn myself, that in the end times I would again offer to man my mysteries of perfection;
15. Purging the earth until she is pure, even so if it must be by fire.
16. Therefore awake O man, and hearken unto the voice of the lord your god.
17. For when ye shall see this record ye shall know that it is I knocking at thy
18. And all who are my sheep, who hear my voice, shall come and partake of the mysteries of my kingdom.
19. Even the goodness of a spiritual land that floweth with milk and honey.
20. I am the lord, my word faileth not, and ye who hearken unto it shall surely be saved.
1. Now I Moroni conclude this record with one final warning.
2. That all ye to whom this work shall come behold, ye shall be judged according to thy choice.
3. Thy decision carrying thee upwards into the light or downwards into chaos and upheaval.
4. The choice is thine, and the opportunity is thine.
5. Choose with wisdom, be soul still.
6. Seek after the spirit in prayer and fasting and praise, and thy answer to all things shall surely come.
7. Those to whom it is given to know the truth of these things, to them shall it be a sure and steadfast knowledge whereby they may move forward in faith and yet receive even more precious things.
8. For the great things of god's kingdom are not written on plates or in scrolls, but in the heart with the stylus of the spirit.
9. Wherefore, seek ye always to perfect thyself before thy maker and honor him in all ye do, and he shall surely take note of thee and save thee.
10. Until that final day, I bid adieu.
11. May the lord bless you and keep you, may he lift up his countenance upon you in favor and loving kindness, and may he grant you peace. Amen and amen.
