In this chapter Moroni
identifies another benefit the Book of Mormon would have in our day. In his day secret combinations grew to the
entire destruction of his people. Moroni
tells the “Gentiles” of our day that he is including information about secret
combinations so that we can take heed and not be similarly destroyed (see
verses 23 – 26).
President Ezra Taft Benson encouraged members of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1986 to flood the earth with the Book
of Mormon. From reading this chapter,
one gets a sense that doing so may be an important component in counteracting
secret combinations in our day. But
wait, there’s more! Studying the Book of
Mormon and living by its teachings can help cause Satan to have no influence
over a heart, thereby destroying the author of secret combinations. No wonder President Benson felt such an
urgency!
