Moroni’s implicit moral during the telling of the Jaredite story has been the history of the land and the promise. As he returns to the story, Moroni emphasizes that most important part of the story – the land. He notes that the people did not believe Ether, but when he begins to note what it is that Ether taught, what Moroni selects to tell is the story of the land. He uses this point to review the entire history. He places the beginnings of the land in the primordial times of the flood, and connects the promise with the land from that very beginning. It has always been a “chosen land of the Lord.” Attendant to this “chosen land” has also been a promise, “that all men should serve him who dwell upon the face thereof.”
