Hey everyone, this is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central.

We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast.

We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos.

So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube.

We hope you enjoy. Welcome to Book

of Mormon Central's Come Follow Me Insights. Today, the final chapter of the Book of Mormon,

Moronite, this is a real treat, this final chapter, this concluding capstone to the book, where Maroni could have taken any

direction he wanted, but he chooses to say, I'm finishing my book. Remember, he said farewell

to us a couple of times in the past, and then he's come back in and written some more.

In this one, it feels like he knows this really is the final farewell.

So he's going to couch his last teachings within the framework of eight exhortations. So you'll notice that he introduces these

eight exhortations in verse two. He says, and I seal up these records after I have spoken

a few words by way of exhortation unto you. And then he opens verse three with, behold, I would

exhort you. And then verse four has his second exhortation, verse seven, verse eight, verse 18,

verse 19, 27 and 30. And so we're going to work our way through the chapter looking at each one

of these exhortations one at a time.

It's an interesting word. We don't usually use the word exhortation in our language today,

at least in the most of the English-speaking world. Really fascinating word. So the core meaning of exhort is

to encourage, to stimulate, to urge. And in particular, I like this word courage, where the word

core actually means heart. I want to put heart into your action. And so here he is after

this long series of beautiful writings that we've been able to review over the year,

what's the most important thing you would say if you were talking to people in the future?
