“Following this dismaying decline of Nephite civilization documented by his father, Moroni picked up the recorder’s task, but he did not write to any living audience. Rather, he directed his final testimony—in fact, three final testimonies—to those who would receive the record in the last days. A book that began with three witnesses of Christ ends the same way but with a difference—with three final declarations of the Savior from the writings of one man [see Mormon 8 and 9; Ether 12; Moroni 1–10]” (Holland, Christ and the New Covenant, 323).
