Alma 45

Alma 45

Alma tells Helaman that the Nephites would become wicked. Helaman believes Alma prophecy. The Nephites Are good and worship god. This chapter taught me that even a great good can become bad.

Alma 30: 1-20

            So many people died from the war that they didn't count their dead. After this they followed the commandments and there was peace in the sixteenth and seventeenth year of the reign of the judges there was continual peace, until the end of the seventeenth year when an Anti-Christ started to preach against the prophecies and the prophets about the coming of Christ. They couldn't punish him though because there was no law against not believing in God. This Anti-Christ lead many of the Nephites into wickedness. When he went to preach about the gospel being fake to the Laminites they were smarter and took him to Ammon.

1nephi 4 rest

The rest was about geting the plates after he had dressed up as Laban and also scared his brothers and the one servant folowed him and nephi told him not to flee before him.

4 nephi 1-19

this was the story of when nephi slew laban with his own sword he grabbed him by his hair and cut of his head and put on his clothes that is all i read but one quote I realy liked it was in verse 13 it said "it is better that one man perish than a hole nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief .

Alma 44

Alma 44

Moroni offered a way to save the Lamanites by their promise to not come to war with them again. Zerahemnah got mad and tried to kill Moroni. one of Moroni's soldiers cut of Zerahemnah,s scalp. the soldier used the scalp to convince the Lamanites to make the promise. This chapter taught me that everyone deserves a second chance.

Alma 63

Hagoth sails off to unknown lands.  Some people think he may have settled the pacific islands.  The verses just say lands to the north.  Could be up to Alaska, since he set sail in the western sea.  But really this was all before Christ's Crucifixion, which altered the land a lot.  So, all of this is speculation.

I did find it interesting that Helaman gave all the records to Shiblon (who was very righteous)... and then near the end of the chapter Shiblon gave them to Helaman's son (also named Helaman).  I wonder why Helaman the younger did not get them instead of Shiblon in the firs place?  too young?  not spiritually ready?  Again, I can only speculate.

Alma 43

Alma 43

This chapter talks about how the Nephites fought against the Lamanites. The Lamanites out numbered them over 2 to 1. The Nephites may have been out numbered but they built armor to protect themselves. Eventually the Nephites pushed back the Lamanites into a group. This chapter inspired me to start building my spiritual armor for Satan temptations.
