Mormon 5
Some people may assume that Mormon taking command again was the right choice because it was written in the Book of Mormon and he was a righteous man. I also suspect there may be some who might argue that it was the wrong choice because he had been told to stand as an idle witness and he knew there was no hope for the people. I had wondered about that. I realize however that it was his choice. He knew that he would not be spared the consequences of his choice. Perhaps he hoped that he might be able to spare a few women and children from being sacrificed to idles even though he knew they could not ultimately be preserved. I’m sure he knew that if he took command he would never be able to escape the Lamanites as Moroni did and die a peaceful death as Moroni may have.
