Who is Moroni? Many millions have been blessed as recipients of the enormous spiritual blessings from the Book of Mormon, which Moroni delivered to Joseph Smith to translate. Yet, few understand the depth of Moroni’s mission and the impact it will have in the future.

The great prophet, Moroni, has seen more clearly our day and time than any other. Yet, his unique and far-reaching insights are not known to most. As his commission by the Lord, there is so much more to who he is and what will be because of him and his mission than is commonly understood.  For instance, Moroni is the foreordained angel spoken of by John the Beloved in Revelations to take the “everlasting gospel” to all nations (Rev. 14:6-7; D&C 27:5; 133:35-39).

Moroni’s Commission

While the Book of Mormon contains “the fulness of my everlasting gospel,” we will see that there is much more to his mission than what he delivered to Joseph. Because of his great mission, the Prophet Joseph Smith was promised by the Lord, “wherefore, marvel not, for the hour cometh that I will drink of the fruit of the vine with you on the earth, and with Moroni” (D&C27:5; the bolding is mine).

Before, “the great and tremendous battle at Cumorah” Moroni had been commanded by his father, Mormon, who died in the battle, to “write a few things” (Mormon 8:1-2). In addition to that request, the Lord had “a great work” for Moroni to do over the next 36 years after his nation was destroyed.

Left alone, but far from idle during that time, the blessings yet to come from his efforts over those 36 years are enormous. Those efforts will eventually bless the world at large, perhaps more than they have been blessed through the restoration brought about by the Prophet Joseph.

Moroni’s Thirty-Six Year Contribution

Let’s look at what is coming from Moroni’s 36-year mission and onward efforts, which were commissioned by the Lord for the whole world community.

In the future, the sealed portion of those plates—compiled and sealed by Moroni—will be read from the “housetops” to the world. They will reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.

“And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed shall be read upon the housetops; and they shall be read by the power of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men which ever have been among the children of men, and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth” (2 Nephi 27:10-11).

That transcendent event alone will be more impactful for the world population than anything the world inhabitants have witnessed since the infinite atonement of our Lord and Savior. Isaiah prophesied about it, but most miss his message: “And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed,…” (Isaiah 29:11).

Notice, the Lord says, “…the vision of all is [come]… unto you as… a book that is sealed…” I believe when the Lord says, “All” He means it. Continue reading Who Is Moroni? →
