I never considered before that Amulek came into Alma’s life – and became perhaps his most enduring missionary companion – during the time when Alma’s closest friends from earlier in his life were among the Lamanites preaching.

Even with his mind laid low with a burning fever, Zeezrom was certain that he believed the words of Alma and Amulek.

I can imagine how the people must have feared as two naked, starved, scared, scraggly men emerged from their​ collapsed prison.

Things just go from bad to worse for Zeezrom. First he realizes that Alma and Amulek see through him, then he realizes that he was wrong, then the people use his own less in testimony against these men he now knows to be prophets.

The people of Ammonihah wanted to just be rid of Alma and Amulek but for whatever reasons, perhaps just that they were so public already, they felt they had to make a pretense of justice in getting rid of them.

The reason that the Priesthood after the Order of the Son was given to me was so that they could teach and demonstrate to the children of men the way to receive eternal life. There is no other propose for having it – last of all dominion.

Amulek asked a question earnestly but acting was still trying to ensnare Alma with his question

After Amulek caught him in his lying then Alma secured the catch by declaring to Zeezrom that they knew they had caught him and that he was following the devil in trying to ensnare them – that is when Zeezrom became truly earnest in understanding how they had so simply caught him in his craft.

Christ is the first and the last but He came to earth in the meridian of time. Zeezrom continued to press after Amulek called out both his trap and his deception – that leaves me wondering what part of what Amulek said finally got him honestly listening.

We don’t know how wealthy these lawyers and judges are unless we know how long they could feed s family in a day’s wages which were worth one measure of grain.
