Alma 62
I love the effect that Moroni had on people – they would flock to follow him. After they had restored Zerahemla Moroni was able to raise twelve thousand men – half being sent to Helaman and half to Lehi and Teancum – besides those who went with him and Pahoran to conquer their lands from Zerahemla until they met up with Lehi and Teancum and also not counting the large army that they left to defend Zerahemla. Imagine if Ammoron had tried to exchange prisoners now – the reply would be “we can’t exchange prisoners for we have none – they have all chosen to join us.”
I wonder how many of the judges among the Nephites had been executed as kingmen during the war.
I wonder if we will ever experience a time when our nation is in as great peril as the Nephites were during this war.
