Remember these things, for the time soon comes when you'll know I have not lied. You will see me at the bar of God, and the Lord will say to you,
- “Did I not declare my words to you, written by this man, as one crying from the dead, even as one speaking out of the dust?”
I write these things so the prophecies will be fulfilled, for this book will go forth from the mouth of the everlasting God, and His word will call to all people from generation to generation. God will show you what I have written is true.
Again, I urge you to come to Christ and to hold on to every good gift. Do not touch the evil gift or unclean thing.
- "Awake and arise from the dust, oh Jerusalem. Put on your beautiful robes, oh daughter of Zion (The New Jerusalem). Strengthen yourselves and increase your influence forever, that you may no longer be confused--that the covenants of the Eternal Father, which He made to you, oh house of Israel, may be fulfilled."
- Note: Above (in blue), Moroni quotes Isaiah 52:1, as did the Savior 400 years. before him (3 Ne 20:36). And 600 years prior to Christ, Nephi first quoted Isaiah 52:1 (2 Nephi 8:24).
- This single verse of Isaiah is a call for latter-day Israel to be clean and pure.....that the impure and those who make no covenants with God may no longer be among them, that the covenant made to Abraham may be fulfilled.
- Moroni chose Isaiah 52:1 as his final quote, as part of his final plea to latter-day Israel to become sanctified....to be filled with Christ's love....faith, hope and charity...to stand pure before God at the last day.
Come to Christ and be perfected in Him. Deny yourselves all ungodliness. If you deny yourselves all ungodliness and love
