Before the Nephites were destroyed, Moroni served among them as a military leader and a Church leader (see Mormon 6:12; Moroni 8:1). Like other major writers and compilers of the Book of Mormon, Moroni was a witness of the Savior.

Moroni was a witness of the Savior. He testified, “I have seen Jesus, and … he hath talked with me face to face” (Ether 12:39). Moroni was faithful to his testimony, refusing to deny Christ during a time when the Lamanites were killing every Nephite who would not deny Him (see Moroni 1:1–3).

In 1823, approximately 1,400 years after completing the record of the Book of Mormon, Moroni appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith as a resurrected being and informed Joseph that the record was deposited in a hill near his home (see Joseph Smith—History 1:29–35). At that time and periodically during the next four years, Moroni instructed Joseph Smith “respecting what the Lord was going to do, and how and in what manner his kingdom was to be conducted in the last days” (Joseph Smith—History 1:54).
moroni scared for his own life, because the lamanites were killing every nephite, who refused to deny the christ
the words of christ which he spoke to his disciples, the chosen 12 which he laid hands upon called them by name and said:
ye shall call on the father in my name
after ye do this, ye shall have power upon who ye shall lay hands on & shall give the holy ghost
elders of the church ordained priests and teachers
they prayed to the father in the name of christ
laid hands on and said....
in the name of jesus christ i ordain you to be a priest (or teacher)
to preach repenance & remission of sins thru JC
by endurance of faith on his name to the end

10 And there are none that do know the true God save it be the disciples of Jesus, who did tarry in the land until the wickedness of the people was so great that the Lord would not suffer them to remain with the people; and whether they be upon the face of the land no man knoweth.
12 And whoso receiveth this record, and shall not condemn it because of the imperfections which are in it, the same shall know of greater things than these. Behold, I am Moroni; and were it possible, I would make all things known unto you.
