The last three books of the Book of Mormon were especially written for our time. As I've read and studied them it dawned on me that one of the most important messages in these last three books is that even though we are surrounded by evil, we can still live righteously. Ether, Mormon, and Moroni were all examples of living as we should while Satan prevails and people apostatize left and right. It gives us hope.
Yes, Syd, you are right. The whole Book of Mormon is directed to us, but especially the last three books, since the Nephites are now destroyed, and Moroni has no other reason to put this stuff in there than to speak to people "in some future day" (Moroni 1:4). If we can't find themes that relate to us in the last 3 books, I don't know what to say.
