The Jaredites had become a wicked and ferocious people. The Lord sent Ether, a prophet to teach the people and give them a chance to repent. Ether taught the people about hope and faith and exhorted them to believe in God. He prophesied great and marvelous things, but the people wouldn’t believe him. They refused to repent, and that ultimately lead to their destruction.

Moroni added his lesson on faith, telling us to “dispute not because ye see not”. Moroni reminded us that miracles only happen by faith. He also reminded us of his faithful ancestors who experienced great miracles because of their faith, like Alma and Amulek, Ammon, and Nephi and Lehi. Moroni encouraged us to seek Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written.
