Moroni is not subtle about how impressed he was with the vision of the brother of Jared. This was the greatest vision ever revealed to man. That statement should be coupled with Moroni’s statement about the power of his writings, for thou madest him that the things which he wrote were mighty even as thou art, unto the overpowering of man to read them (Ether 12:24). The great and glorious work of the Lord, when revealed through this vision, will be truly overpowering. The vision which Moses saw was similar and he greatly marveled and wondered (Moses 1:8). While we all have moments when we are overcome by the mercy of God, by his wisdom and love, these moments are but brief glimpses of his power and glory—as Paul said, For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face (1 Cor 13:13). The brother of Jared and Moses saw face to face and so will we if we follow the counsel contained in the Book of Mormon.

“The sealed portion yet to come forth will be very valuable. (3 Nephi 26:10-11.) In fact, this sweeping portion will contain ’a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof’ (2 Nephi 27:7, 10-11). Such a cumulative record yet to be revealed is something to be awaited with ‘anxious expectation’ in that ’time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld,’ as the Prophet Joseph was promised in the prison-temple (D&C 121:27-28).” (But For a Small Moment, p. 37)
