TRIV Why did God shut Mormon's mouth?

While we were yet in the Spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision; for we beheld Satan, that old serpent, even the devil. Doctrine & Covenants 76:28

Trivia: In section 137, Joseph Smith has a vision of the celestial kingdom. Who was he surprised to see there?

Why did God shut Mormon's mouth?


Because the Nephites rebelled against God.

And I did endeavor to preach unto this people, but my mouth was shut, and I was forbidden that I should preach unto them; for behold they had wilfully rebelled against their God. Mormon 1:16
