Moroni, as a mortal man, was the last author of the Book of Mormon, burying the metal plates upon which it was recorded, some 421 years after the birth of Christ.
He followed in the footsteps of his father, Mormon (after whom the Book of Mormon is named) as keeper of an ancient record detailing the history and eventual destruction of their people, the Nephites, by their enemies, the Lamanites."
Fast forward about 1400 years:
Revelation 14:6 reads "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
During the night of September 21, 1823 Moroni, who was then a glorified personage, visited young Joseph Smith as a heavenly messenger sent from God. Moroni told Joseph of the very plates he himself had buried 1400 years earlier. The angel Moroni also recited a number of scriptures to Joseph. Joseph describes the heavenly visit in the Joseph Smith-History portion of the Pearl of Great Price.
The "angel" Moroni, 1400 years after his human death, appearing to Joseph Smith. WHY is he wearing pseudo-biblical robes?
a gilded statue of the "angel" Moroni which graces the top of most LDS temples.
Oh, how interesting.
Really all the versions they have about the visions......
its like the first one was: you are special by version nine it is: you are really really super duper special.
Hey, was that the being of the self esteem movement?
having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, (Revelation 14:16)
