The book of Ether is Moroni 2's abbreviated account of the history of the Jaredites, who came to the Western Hemisphere at the time of the "great tower" of Babel and lived in the area later known as the Nephite "land northward," much earlier than Lehi's colony.
Ether, the last prophet of the Jaredites and a survivor of their annihilation, inscribed those plates soon after the final destruction of his people.
Ether, the author of the underlying text, was an eyewitness to the final battles, and Moroni esteemed his prophecies as "great and marvelous" (Ether 13:13).

Other important doctrines taught in the book of Ether include the ideas that prosperity is conditioned on serving Jesus Christ; that three witnesses would verify the truth of the Book of Mormon; and that the Lord will show humans their weaknesses, inspiring humility that can lead to strength.
