Mormon continues his description of the text that he is writing. Though it will not come to his current people, God has promised that it “shall come forth … when he shall see fit, in his wisdom.” That occurred with the printing of the Book of Mormon in 1830.
The purpose of the Book of Mormon is that future readers “may be persuaded that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.” That statement is very similar to the one that Moroni provided for the Title Page: “And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.”
