In the midst of Moroni’s lament for the future, he brings into his statement the cultural contexts that have been part of the Nephite problem. He specifically notes that the people of the last days will “lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel.” This is the Nephite problem. This is what his father wrote his book to demonstrate, that these sentiments were consistently the downfall of the Nephites. Moroni has seen the future, but the continues to interpret what he has seen in terms of the world that he knows. Thus the future’s problems are similarly cause by the “lifting up,” or social segregation, and the “fine apparel” that creates demonstrates the social segregation.
