It is interesting to think about Alma’s repentance. It is covered here in a verse or two but Alma certainly took some time recording the words of Abinadi and searching the scriptures to come to know for himself the truth of the prophecies that Abinadi has testified about. I’m sure it also took months or years of him preaching secretly before he had hundreds of people ready for baptism. However long it took (I’m sure years) before king Noah discovered them and moved against them, the kingdom and life of Noah were quickly destroyed (probably weeks) after he accused Alma of trying to create a division among the people.
