“They Shall Go Unto the Unbelieving of the Jews”
Mormon also directs his words to the Jews who do not believe that Jesus is the Christ but still wait for their Messiah. One of the primary purposes of the Book of Mormon and the latter-day restoration is to persuade the Jews that Jesus is the Christ and that as Messiah he will indeed fulfill his covenant with them and return them to their lands of inheritance. The Book of Mormon testifies that prior to the Second Coming the Jews will begin to believe in Jesus, and this will be as a result of their acceptance of Mormon’s record and their recognition of God’s latter-day work (see 2 Nephi 30:7-8; see also Commentary 1:356).
