In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Angel Moroni. Advancments in Angel Moroni can be linked to many areas. Though Angel Moroni is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, spasmodically it returns to create a new passion amongst those who study its history. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that Angel Moroni is rarely given rational consideration by socialists, obviously. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve

{{Book of Mormon}}
The '''Angel Moroni''' ({{IPAc-en|m|oʊ|ˈ|r|oʊ|n|aɪ}}<ref>{{cite book |chapter=Pronunciation Guide |title=Book of Mormon |url=https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/pronunciation?lang=eng}}</ref>) is, in [[Mormonism]], an [[angel]] that visited [[Joseph Smith, Jr.]] on numerous occasions, beginning on September 21, 1823. According to Smith, the angel was the guardian of the [[golden plates]], which [[Latter Day Saints]] believe were the source material for the [[Book of Mormon]], buried in [[Cumorah|a hill]] near Smith's home in western New York. Moroni is an important figure in the [[Latter-day_Saint_theology#Theology_and_doctrine|theology]] of the [[Latter Day Saint movement]], and is featured prominently in Mormon architecture and art. [[Three Witnesses]] besides Joseph Smith also reported that they saw Moroni in visions in 1829, as did several other witnesses who each said they had their own vision.


Social Factors
Moroni is thought by Latter Day Saints to be the same person as a [[Book of Mormon]] prophet-warrior named [[Moroni (Book of Mormon prophet)|Moroni]], who was the last to write in the golden plates. The book states that Moroni buried them before he died after a great battle between two [[pre-Columbian]] civilizations. After he died, he became an angel, and was tasked with guarding the golden plates, and with eventually directing Joseph Smith to their location in the 1820s. According to Smith, he returned the golden plates to Moroni after they were translated and as of 1838 the angel Moroni still had the plates in his possession.<ref name = returned>[[Joseph Smith—History]], [http://lds.org/scriptures/pgp/js-h/1.60?lang=eng#59 1:60], [[Pearl of Great Price (Mormonism)|Pearl of Great Price]].</ref>


There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When Lance Bandaner said 'twelve times I've traversed the ocean of youthful ambition but society still collects my foot prints' [1] he was clearly refering to the impact of Angel Moroni on today's society. Difference among people, race, culture and society is essential on the survival of our world, however Angel Moroni helps to provide some sort of equilibrium in this world of ever changing, always yearning chaos.
==Angel's name and identity==
There have been two conflicting accounts as to whether the angel who appeared to Smith in 1823 and directed him to the golden plates was named ''Moroni'' or ''Nephi''. Initially, Smith merely referred to "an angel" without identifying its name. Thus, in an 1831 letter from [[Lucy Mack Smith]] to her brother, she discusses Moroni as the person who buried the plates, but does not identify him as the unnamed "holy angel" that gave Smith the means to translate the [[golden plates]] {{Harv|Morgan|1986|p=349}}. In Smith's 1832 history, he said he was visited by "an angel of the Lord", who mentioned the Book of Mormon prophet "Moroni" as the last engraver of the golden plates; however, Smith's account did not say whether or not the angel was referring to ''himself'' as Moroni {{Harv|Smith|1832|p=4}}.


Our post-literate society, more than ever before, relies upon Angel Moroni. Just as a dog will return to its own sick, society will return to Angel Moroni, again and again.
In 1835, Smith identified the angel ''as'' Moroni: In 1835, while preparing the first edition of the [[Doctrine and Covenants]], he made additions to an earlier revelation regarding [[sacramental wine]], and indicated a number of angels that would come to the earth after the [[Second Coming]] and drink wine with Joseph Smith and [[Oliver Cowdery]] {{Harv|Smith|Cowdery|Rigdon|Williams|1835|p=180}}. Among those angels, the revelation listed "Moroni, whom I have sent unto you to reveal the book of Mormon, containing the fulness of my everlasting gospel; to whom I have committed the keys of the record of the stick of Ephraim" (id.). Around this time, Oliver Cowdery was writing a history of Joseph Smith in which he identified the angel as the [[Moroni (prophet)|prophet Moroni]] from the Book of Mormon {{Harv|Cowdery|1835|p=112}}. In July 1838, Smith wrote an article for the church periodical ''[[Elders' Journal]]'', in the form of questions and answers, that stated the following:
:"Question 4th. How, and where did you obtain the book of Mormon?
:"Answer. Moroni, the person who deposited the plates, from whence the book of Mormon was translated, in a hill in Manchester, Ontario County, New York, as a resurrected being, appeared unto me, and told me where they were; and gave me directions how to obtain them." {{Harv|Smith|1838b|pp=42–43}}.


Economic Factors
However, on May 2, 1838, a few months before Smith's statement in ''Elders' Journal'', Smith began dictating a church history that included a detailed account of his visits from the angel {{Harv|Smith|1838a|p=7}}. Smith seems to have identified the angel as "[[Nephi, son of Lehi|Nephi]]", which is the name of the Book of Mormon's first narrator {{Harv|Smith|1838a|p=5}}. Smith's apparent 1838 identification as "Nephi" was left unchanged when the 1838 history was published in 1842 in ''[[Times and Seasons]]'', which Smith edited himself {{Harv|Smith|1842|p=753}}, and in ''[[Millennial Star]]'' {{Harv|Pratt|1842|p=53}}. In the latter, an editorial referred to the 1823 vision and praised "the glorious ministry and message of the angel Nephi" {{Harv|1842|p=71}}. After Smith's death, the identification as "Nephi" was repeated when [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] published its first edition of the [[Pearl of Great Price (Latter Day Saints)|Pearl of Great Price]] {{Harv|Richards|1851|p=41}}. It was also repeated in 1853 when Smith's mother [[Lucy Mack Smith]] published a history of her son {{Harv|Smith|1853|p=79}}.


Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. We will primarily be focusing on the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model, a classic economic system of analysis.
As a further complication, [[Mary Whitmer]], mother to one of the [[Three Witnesses]] and four of the [[Eight Witnesses]], said she had a vision of the golden plates, shown to her by an angel whom she always called "Brother Nephi" {{Harv|Whitmer|1888|p=621}}, who may or may not have been the same angel to which Smith referred.
Oil
Prices


Nevertheless, based on Smith's statement that the angel was "Moroni," and based on both prior and later publications, most Latter Day Saints view Smith's 1838 identification of the angel as Nephi as a mistake, perhaps on the part of the transcriber or a later editor.<ref>See [[Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research|FAIR]] Wiki, [http://en.fairmormon.org/Nephi_or_Moroni Nephi or Moroni].</ref> In the version of Smith's 1838 history published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as the portion canonized by that denomination as the [[Pearl of Great Price (Latter Day Saints)|Pearl of Great Price]], the name "Nephi" has been changed by editors to read "Moroni".<ref>[http://scriptures.lds.org/js_h/1/33#27 Joseph Smith—History, v.27]</ref> The [[Community of Christ]] publishes the original story, including the identification of "Nephi", but indicates "Moroni" in a footnote.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}
Angel Moroni


==Description==
Descriptions of the angel Moroni vary. In one of Joseph Smith's histories, he described him as an "angel of light" who "had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen.… His hands were naked and his arms also a little above the wrists.… Not only was his robe exceedingly white but his whole person was glorious beyond description". {{Harv|Smith|1838}} According to Smith's sister Katharine, the angel "was dressed in white raiment, of whiteness beyond anything Joseph had ever seen in his life, and had a girdle about his waist. He saw his hands and wrists, and they were pure and white.{{Harv|Salisbury|1895|p=11}}.


It is apparent from the graph that the influence of Angel Moroni is strong. What is the secret to its strength? It goes with out saying that oil prices will continue to follow Angel Moroni for the foreseeable future. In the light of this free trade must be examined.
==Appearances to Joseph Smith and others==
[[Image:Moroni3a07131u.jpg|thumb|The angel Moroni delivering the plates of the Book of Mormon to Joseph Smith.]]
Joseph Smith, Jr. (who would later become the founder of the [[Latter Day Saint movement]]) said that on the night of September 21, 1823, Moroni appeared to Smith and told him about the golden plates that were buried (in a stone box) a few miles from Smith's home; visited Smith various times over the course of the next six years; and after Smith translated a portion of the writing on the plates (either one-third or two-thirds; accounts vary){{Citation needed|date=September 2008}} as the Book of Mormon, Smith turned the plates back over to Moroni.<ref name = returned/>


Political Factors
In addition to Joseph Smith, several other early Mormons said they had visions where they saw the angel Moroni. [[Three Witnesses]] said they saw the angel in 1829: [[Oliver Cowdery]], [[David Whitmer]], and [[Martin Harris (Latter Day Saints)|Martin Harris]]. Other early Mormons who said they saw Moroni include [[Emma Hale Smith]], [[Hyrum Smith]], [[Luke S. Johnson]], [[Zera Pulsipher]], [[W. W. Phelps (Mormon)|W. W. Phelps]], [[John P. Greene]] and his wife Rhoda, [[John Taylor (Mormon)|John Taylor]], [[Oliver Granger]], [[Heber C. Kimball]], [[Lucy Harris]], and Harrison Burgess. [[Mary Whitmer]] may also have seen Moroni, although she referred to the angel she saw as "Brother Nephi."


Modern politics owes much to the animal kingdom. Comparing the electoral politics of most Western and Eastern European countries is like comparing night and day.
==Mortal life of Moroni the prophet==
{{Main|Moroni (prophet)}}


Take a moment to consider the words of that most brilliant mind Demetrius Rock 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.' [2] Considered by many to be one of the 'Founding Fathers' of Angel Moroni, his words cannot be over-looked. Both spectacular failure and unequaled political accomplishment may be accredited to Angel Moroni.
According to the Book of Mormon, Moroni was the son of [[Mormon (prophet)|Mormon]], the prophet for whom the Book of Mormon is ostensibly named. He may have been named after [[Captain Moroni]], a much earlier Book of Mormon figure. Before Mormon's death in battle, he passed the golden plates to Moroni. Moroni then finished writing on the plates and concluded his record, presumably burying them in the hill [[Cumorah]] in western New York.
Where do we go from here? Only time will tell.
Conclusion


How much responsibility lies with Angel Moroni? We can say that Angel Moroni may not be the best thing since sliced bread, but it's still important. It establishes order, provides financial security and never hides.
==Theological significance==
[[Image:USVA headstone emb-11.svg|thumb|150px|left|Angel Moroni [[United States Department of Veterans Affairs emblems for headstones and markers|USVA headstone symbol]]]]
Because of his instrumentality in the restoration of the gospel, Moroni is commonly identified by Latter-day Saints as the angel mentioned in {{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Revelation|chapter=14|verse=6}}, "having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."


Here with the final word is Hollywood's Denzel Kournikova: 'My Daddy loved Angel Moroni and his Daddy loved Angel Moroni.' [3]
The image of the angel Moroni blowing a trumpet is commonly used as an unofficial symbol of [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]. Moroni appears on the cover of some editions of the Book of Mormon, and statues of the angel stand atop many [[Temple (LDS Church)|LDS temples]], most statues facing eastward.

In 2007, the LDS Church claimed that an image of the angel Moroni in an advertisement violated one of the church's [[registered trademark]]s.<ref>Andrew Adams, [http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=1023445 "Angel Moroni at the Center of Controversial Ad Campaign"], KSL Radio, March 23, 2007.</ref>

==Theorized origin of the name==
Some scholars have theorized that Smith became familiar with the name "Moroni" through his study of the treasure-hunting stories of Captain [[William Kidd]].<ref>See, e.g., Ronald V. Huggins, "From Captain Kidd's Treasure Ghost to the Angel Moroni: Changing ''Dramatis Personae'' in Early Mormonism", ''Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought'', '''36''':4 (Winter 2003) pp. 17–42.</ref> Because Kidd was said to have buried treasure in the [[Comoros]] islands, and [[Moroni, Comoros|Moroni]] is the name of the capital city and largest settlement in the [[Union of the Comoros]], it has been suggested{{who|date=October 2012}} that Smith borrowed the name of the settlement and applied it to the angel who led him to buried treasure—the golden plates. Complementing this proposal is the theory that Smith borrowed the names of the Comoros islands and applied them to the hill where he found the golden plates, which he named [[Cumorah]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}<ref>Prior to 1830, most maps and gazetteers referred to the Comoros as "Comora" (but notably do not contain any mention of the name Moroni). The 1830 first edition of the Book of Mormon printed the name "Cumorah" as "Camorah".</ref>

Latter-day Saint apologists have reasoned that this line of argument commits the [[logical error]] of [[appeal to probability]]; they believe that it is unlikely that Smith had access to material which would have referred to the then-small settlement of Moroni.<ref>See [[Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research|FAIR]] Wiki, [http://en.fairmormon.org/Comoros_Islands_and_Moroni Comoros Islands and Moroni].</ref> Mormon scholar [[Hugh Nibley]] noted the prevalence of names in the Book of Mormon with the root "mor" and suggested that the root may be of Egyptian origin with the meaning of "beloved".<ref> See [[Hugh W. Nibley]], Teachings of The Book of Mormon, Semester 3, [http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/books/?bookid=118&chapid=1391 Lecture 71]</ref>

==Sculptors==
{{refimprove section|date=September 2012}}
The [[Nauvoo Temple]] was the first Latter Day Saint temple to be crowned with a figure of an angel. This angel, not identified with Moroni{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}, was a gilded wooden weathervane sculpted by an unknown artist in 1846. This figure was positioned in a flying horizontal position holding an open book in one hand and a trumpet in the other.

[[Cyrus Dallin]] sculpted the first angel which was identified as Moroni.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} This angel was placed on the [[Salt Lake Temple]] during the capstone ceremony on April 6, 1892, one year to the day before the temple was dedicated. Dallin's design is a dignified, neoclassical angel in robe and cap, standing upright with a trumpet in hand. It stands 3.8 meters high, was molded in hammered copper from the plaster original, and covered with 22-karat gold leaf.

[[Torleif S. Knaphus]] fashioned a replica of the Cyrus Dallin angel in the 1930s, but the casting of his angel was never placed on a temple until many years later. In 1983, castings of this angel were placed on the [[Idaho Falls Idaho Temple]] (8th operating temple), and the [[Atlanta Georgia Temple]] (21st operating temple).

[[Millard F. Malin]]'s angel, which was placed on the [[Los Angeles California Temple]] in 1953 (dedicated 1956) is known as the second Angel Moroni statue. His angel was cast in aluminum, stands 4.7 meters high and weighs 953 kilograms. It has Native American features, wears a Mayan style cloak and holds the gold plates in its left hand.{{Citation needed|date = September 2011}}

[[Avard Fairbanks]] sculpted the third Angel Moroni statue which was placed on the [[Washington D.C. Temple]], dedicated in 1974. This angel was created as a one-meter model which was sent to Italy where it was enlarged, cast in bronze, and gilded. The finished statue is 5.5 meters high and weighs over 4,000 pounds (1814&nbsp;kg). The [[Seattle Washington Temple|Seattle Washington]], [[Jordan River Utah Temple|Jordan River Utah]], and [[México City México Temple]]s each have a 4.6 meter casting of this statue.

[[Karl Quilter]] sculpted his first Angel Moroni in 1978. Two sizes were made, one 3 meters high, the other just over 2 meters. These statues were designed to reduce the cost and weight of the previous Angel Moroni statues, in order to become a standard part of the temple architecture. These angels are made of fiberglass and covered with gold leaf. In 1998 with the construction of many new smaller temples, Quilter was commissioned to create a new angel. This angel was similar in design to his previous angels, but he gave Moroni a slightly more massive build, with its left hand opened, and the body turned slightly to show more action. The image of the [[Bern Switzerland Temple]]'s Angel Moroni is from Quilter's 1998 design. Quilter's Angel Moroni is on over one hundred temples around the world.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Hunter, J.

Revision as of 03:29, 28 November 2013

In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Angel Moroni. Advancments in Angel Moroni can be linked to many areas. Though Angel Moroni is a favourite topic of discussion amongst monarchs, presidents and dictators, spasmodically it returns to create a new passion amongst those who study its history. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that Angel Moroni is rarely given rational consideration by socialists, obviously. In the light of this I will break down the issues in order to give each of them the thought that they fully deserve

Social Factors

There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When Lance Bandaner said 'twelve times I've traversed the ocean of youthful ambition but society still collects my foot prints' [1] he was clearly refering to the impact of Angel Moroni on today's society. Difference among people, race, culture and society is essential on the survival of our world, however Angel Moroni helps to provide some sort of equilibrium in this world of ever changing, always yearning chaos.

Our post-literate society, more than ever before, relies upon Angel Moroni. Just as a dog will return to its own sick, society will return to Angel Moroni, again and again.

Economic Factors

Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. We will primarily be focusing on the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model, a classic economic system of analysis. Oil Prices 


 Angel Moroni


It is apparent from the graph that the influence of Angel Moroni is strong. What is the secret to its strength? It goes with out saying that oil prices will continue to follow Angel Moroni for the foreseeable future. In the light of this free trade must be examined.

Political Factors

Modern politics owes much to the animal kingdom. Comparing the electoral politics of most Western and Eastern European countries is like comparing night and day.

Take a moment to consider the words of that most brilliant mind Demetrius Rock 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.'
