The Hebrew prophets spoke for God for many centuries until the post-apostolic era, from the second to the nineteenth centuries, when faith in continuing prophecy had vanished in that part of the world and when people assumed, even as did some in Jesus´ day, that the prophets were dead (John 8:53) and their offices abolished.
Prophets in the Bible claim to be both foretellers and forth-tellers and base their claims upon their private access to the God of Israel, who is the ruler of history—past, present, and future.
Prophets, beginning with Samuel, played a significant, if not decisive, part in establishing but also censuring the monarchy and remained an integral part of Israelite society as long as the monarchy survived, and even beyond, when there was still thought or hope of restoring the kingship of the house of David.

 Ether 12
Moroni tells us that Ether “did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people,” but the people were untouched, “because they saw them not.” The people had already decided how they were going to process information, and the prophecies did not fit in to that worldview.
Moroni notes that all of the examples of faith that he has given were of men who had lived prior to the earthly mission of the Messiah.
Moroni is telling us that it was through faith that his Nephite fathers obtained the promise that the gospel would be preached to “their brethren,” or the Lamanites.

The book of Ether is Moroni'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.
Moroni retold their account, recorded on twenty-four plates of gold found by the people of Limhi and translated by Mosiah Ether, the last prophet of the Jaredites and a survivor of their annihilation, inscribed those plates soon after the final destruction of his people.
Moroni humbly claims not to have written "the hundredth part" of the record by Ether.

Moroni lived more than two decades alone, wandering abroad in the land carrying with him the holy record of his people, weighed down with the memories of their complete destruction and burdened by the responsibility to address those who in the Latter-days would read what he would leave behind.
Moroni explains in 6:3 that only those who "took upon them the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end" were admitted into the waters of baptism.
Moroni's simple yet foundational message of the first principles and ordinances of the gospel is confirmation of that prophecy.

Ancient prophets were typically called through a revelatory process—visions and/or revelations: "If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream" (Num.
The Prophet continued to pursue his common vocations until September 21, 1823, while "suffering severe persecution at the hands of all classes of men," in part as a result of his claims concerning his first vision (JS—H 1:27).
The Prophet recorded, "I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the Celestial Kingdom of heaven" (verse 10).

Moroni’s concluding chapter is directed to the future, and specifically to “my brethren, the Lamanites.” When Moroni closed his father’s record, he did so with a firm eye on the future history of the record.
Moroni is preparing to “seal up these records.” He is not referring to any physical process that will bind plates together, but rather to a spiritual binding and sealing as they are placed in the earth.
Moroni ends with this defining purpose of the whole of the text that his father wrote, and the whole of his interest in preserving and delivering that text.

His is a record which is "dark with intrigue." Moroni devotes considerable space to the history of the exploits of this roguish aspirant to the Jaredite throne (Ether 8:1-18; 9:1-14).
Moroni begins the record (1:1 and 5) by referring to the Jaredites as "those ancient inhabitants who were destroyed." Further, Moroni uses this destruction as an object lesson, prophesying that any inhabitants of the Promised Land who did not serve the Lord would eventually be destroyed as were the Jaredites (Ether 8:22; 9:20).

While Moroni wandered about the land he abridged the Jaredite record and included it with the other Book of Mormon records because his father, Mormon, had said that “all people should know the things which are written in this account” (Mosiah 28:19).
Moroni hid up the sacred record in the Hill Cumorah in about A.D. There the plates remained until September 22, 1827, when Moroni, as an angel under assignment by the Lord, delivered the plates to the Prophet Joseph Smith for translation (see Joseph Smith—History 1:59).

 Hill Cumorah
Moroni, who was among the few Nephites who were spared, and in whose possession was the abridgment which had been made by his father, Mormon, was commanded to hide up that abridgment in the hill Cumorah, near the town of Manchester, Ontario County, State of New York.
This Moroni says he did, and from all the evidence in the Book of Mormon, augmented by the testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith, these final battles took place in the territory known as the United States and in the neighborhood of the Great Lakes and hills of Western New York.
In the face of this evidence coming from the Prophet Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer, we cannot say that the Nephites and Lamanites did not possess the territory of the United States and that the Hill Cumorah is in Central America.

While the brother of Jared goes down in Book of Mormon history as a prophet of unparalleled faith, the daughter of Jared (though a different Jared) must be forever remembered for her wicked and devious plan.
