Moroni finalise le Livre de Mormon

La Terre Promise

Ether 2:9

En écrivant sur l’arrivée des Jaredites en Terre promise, Moroni explique que la terre est réservée pour les nations justes et que la méchanceté conduira à leur chute.

And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity.

Ether 2:10

Si les habitants de la Terre promise ne servent pas Dieu, ils seront balayés.

For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off.

Ether 2:11

Les Gentils qui habitent la terre promise doivent être conscients de cela, afin qu’ils ne tombent pas comme les nations précédentes.

And this cometh unto you, O ye Gentiles, that ye may know the decrees of God—that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the wrath of God upon you as the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.

Ether 2:12

Les nations qui possèdent cette terre seront libres de captivité si elles servent Dieu.

Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.
