The Lord responds to Moroni’s sincere concern. Moroni is asking the Lord if his inadequacies as a writer are going to jeopardize the mission of this great work. The Lord assures him that while there will be those who will not see, and therefore will mock, that “my grace is sufficient for the meek.” The effectiveness of the Book of Mormon will continue in spite of the best efforts of others to discredit it. Indeed, the history of the Book of Mormon has been one of divided approach.
There are those who are able to read and feel the truth of it, and they accept it. There are others who cannot “see,” and therefore they mock. That mocking began even before the Book of Mormon was published when a publisher was able to get hold of print galleys and create a parody of the text before ever the actual text was available. The mocking has continued through simplistic explanations and more scholarly attempts to show that Moroni was not real, that Mormon was not real. In spite of all of their efforts, there remain an ever-increasing number who are still able to see, and to accept, and have faith.
