==Theological significance== [[Image:USVA headstone emb-11.svg|thumb|150px|left|Angel Moroni [[United States Department of Veterans Affairs emblems for headstones and markers|USVA headstone symbol]]]] Because of his instrumentality in the restoration of the gospel, Moroni is commonly identified by Latter Day Saints as the angel mentioned in {{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Revelation|chapter=14|verse=6}}, "having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." {{anchor|as a symbol}}The image of the angel Moroni blowing a trumpet is commonly used as an unofficial symbol of the LDS Church. Moroni appears on the cover of some editions of the Book of Mormon. Statues of the angel stand atop many [[Temple (LDS Church)|LDS temples]], with most statues facing east. In 2007, the LDS Church stated that an image of the angel Moroni in an advertisement violated one of the church's [[registered trademark]]s.<ref>Andrew Adams, [http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=1023445 "Angel Moroni at the Center of Controversial Ad Campaign"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100925132413/http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=1023445 |date=September 25, 2010 }}, KSL Radio, March 23, 2007.</ref> {{clear left}}
