“Write These Things and Seal Them Up”

Brant Gardner

This vision of all things is also to be written, and is also to be sealed. The final command is to “seal up” the two stones. The two stones make their way to Mosiah, and through the Nephite line to Moroni, and from Moroni to Joseph Smith. Through them the seal on the Book of Mormon was broken and the unreadable text was read. In our current text, however, we still do not have the rest of the revelation to the brother of Jared. That may be part of what is still sealed upon the plates, and was unavailable for Joseph to translate.

Textual: There is no chapter break at this point in the 1830 edition.
