“Mormon tells us he purposely did not record all the detail of the ‘blood and carnage’ of those terrible years, this in order to prevent the latter-day reader from having an unnecessary and soul-troubling view of it all. His statement that all things ‘must be revealed’ has a dual meaning. Several scriptural passages testify that at the Judgment all deeds, words, thoughts, and intents of the heart—both righteous and wicked—will be revealed, will be shouted from the housetops, as it were, for all to know (see Matthew 10:26–27; D&C 1:3; D&C 88:108–10)” (McConkie et al., Doctrinal Commentary, 4:230).
