Moroni
The Book of Ether recounts the story of the Jaredites, descendants of Jared and his companions, who were guided by God to the Americas following the confusion of tongues at the Tower of Babel. The book includes the notable story of the brother of Jared, who received a vision of the history of the world and was shown the finger and spirit body of the Lord. It describes their journey across the ocean in barges, their establishment in the promised land, and their eventual destruction due to internal strife and wickedness. Moroni abridged this record from the original 24 gold plates, intending it as a lesson for latter-day readers, emphasizing the importance of faith, repentance, and obedience to God[2][3][5].
Dr. Krystal Pierce and Dr. George Pierce continue to examine the Jaredite's journey to the Promised Land, the Promised Land Covenant, and God's relentless pursuit of each of His children.
