“The Eternal Purposes of the Lord Shall Roll On”

Brant Gardner

This admonition appears to be more generic than the previous ones. It does not fit either Joseph Smith or those directly around him. Moroni has moved from specific person to a set of people, and now to the generic future recipients of the text. For all of them the message is the same “the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on, until all his promises shall be fulfilled.”
