Alma 46 With the ranks of the lower judges being constituted by the kind of men who would want a king I have to assume that there was a fair amount of perverse or at least activist judgement being rendered in the land. Perhaps part of their frustration was in having many of their favorite…

Alma 45 It is very comforting to know that the church and kingdom of God shall never again be removed from the earth because by extension I know that we shall never be swept from this land as in times past. Whatever tribulations we face, there shall always be a body of saints with which…

How did Moroni know Zerahemnah’s name. Perhaps the nations had enough interaction to keep track of key individuals but what Moroni says suggests the strong possibility that Zerahemnah was a Nephite by birth, perhaps a Zoramite.

Alma 43 By the time the Lamanites saw that they were surrounded by three separate Nephite armies they were extremely frightened and their adrenaline must have helped them as they fought more fiercely than they had ever been known to fight before.

Alma did not speak about harlots to the Zoramites. The reason people would not believe him because of the actions of Corianton is…

Alma 38 I understand that Alma had to give Helaman commandments related to the plates which he did not have to give to Shiblon but I still wonder why he said so much less to Shiblon about his conversion etc than he shared on those same topics with Helaman. Was it because he had spoken…

Alma 37 Ye must appeal unto the Lord for all things whatsoever ye must do with the sacred things entrusted unto you. Alma prophesies that the Lord will yet show forth His power in the people of Ammon in future generations. I’ll bet that Helaman recognized the accomplishments of his stripping warriors as a fulfillment…
