Jarom

Jarom chooses not to write any doctrine but to give a bit of history. It's from Jarom that we learn there have been wars on an almost continual basis with the Lamanites and the Nephites have been led into battle by their kings and leaders who were great and righteous men. Jarom also tells us that there are many who receive revelations, and the prophets and other church leaders work hard to teach the people about the coming of Christ and the law of Moses. The prophets understand the prophecies that the Nephites will be destroyed at some point because of their denial of God and Jarom says they taught the people with all of their strength so this wouldn't happen. There also doesn't seem to be much room left on the small plates and Jarom stops writing and tells us if we want to know more of their history we should go to the large plates.
