Ether Chapter 3 talks about how The brother of Jared went to the Lord with 16 clear glass-like stones and asked the Lord to touch them so that they could be placed in their 8 vessels that would cross the sea otherwise in darkness. The Lord touched the stones with his finger and Jared's brother became afraid because he didn't know the Lord had a body. The Lord tells him that he sae him because of his faith then appeared to him fully as he announced that he is Jesus Christ.
They spoke, and Christ tells him that because he has a perfect knowledge of Christ now and not just faith belief without sight, that he would now have no veil between himself and the Lord. He also told him that he would not withhold anything from him.
Ether 4 talks about how Christ tells the brother of Jared that the things thst have been revealed to him he must wrote down but that those things will he hidden and will not come forward until the people have Christ return to the Nephites after his resurrection and ascension in to Heaven. Moroni knows there is noone left who believes who he can pass the records down to. Moroni buried them with 2 stones.
Ether 4:18-19 says, "18 Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and believe in my gospel, and be baptized in my name; for he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned; and signs shall follow them that believe in my name.
19 And blessed is he that is found faithful unto my name at the last day, for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the kingdom prepared for him from the foundation of the world. And behold it is I that hath spoken it. Amen.
Likening These Words Unto Me
I really love how direct and guiding these verses are in Ether 4.
#1 Repent and come unto Christ
#2 Be Baptized
#3 If I believe in Christ, I am saved
#4 Those who do not believe will be damned
#5 Blessed are the faithful at the last day
#6 The faithful will dwell in a Kingdom Christ prepares for us.
In Ether Chapter 5, Moroni addresses that the record he has buried will come forward in the Latter Days to 3 Witnesses and that The Book of Mormon will Testify for itself of The truth of it.
In Chapter 6 of Ether, the Brother of Jared took the stones and placed 2 stones in each barge.
There was light as they were sealed tight and tossed at sea. The families sand and praised and prayed night and day. The Lord kept the winds strong to keep them going. The boats were sealed tightly so water didn't enter as they sometimes were brought below the surface as they traveled. The Lord kept them safe the entire 344 days that they were on the sea. The families were wanting a King even though The Brother of Jared and Jared and the other brothers refused to be a King. Orihah became King but he walked humbly with the Lord and was a good king.

Comments welcome, please be respectful. In light of the current events of the shooting of an LDS church and burning of the Church in Michigan, I ask that anti-mormon or hateful comments about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints not be expressed.
