Moroni vollendet das Buch Mormon

Das Verheißene Land

Ether 2:9

Während Moroni über das Kommen der Jarediten ins Verheißene Land schreibt, erklärt er, dass das Land für gerechte Nationen vorbehalten ist und dass Bosheit zu ihrem Untergang führen wird.

And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity.

Ether 2:10

Wenn die Bewohner des Verheißenen Landes Gott nicht dienen, werden sie hinweggefegt.

For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off.

Ether 2:11

Die Heiden, welche im Land der Verheißung wohnen, sollten sich dessen bewusst sein, damit sie nicht wie die früheren Nationen untergehen.

And this cometh unto you, O ye Gentiles, that ye may know the decrees of God—that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the wrath of God upon you as the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.

Ether 2:12

Völker, die dieses Land besitzen, werden von der Gefangenschaft befreit sein, wenn sie Gott dienen.

Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.
