And if it so be that there is a devil and a hell, behold will he not send you there to dwell with my brother whom ye have murdered, whom ye have hinted that he hath gone to such a place? But behold these things matter not.

Murder of his brother -- Teancum's actions totally left them open to such critique.

Here is the common lesson about the importance of #preparation, #prophylaxis, and #SpiritualStrongholds. But two other amazements are first that #fortifying was apparently a novel idea to Moroni's inspiration, and also not thought of before by the Lamanites, who evidently did not know how to deal with it. Not too much later, fortifying will be a normal thing for both Nephites and Lamanites.

#Heroes. Who is the "I" speaking? Our editor, Mormon, 500 years later. The man who named his son for this admired army captain. Mormon's admiration for Captain Moroni is very clear. How important it is to have heroes, especially when you are facing the challenges that Mormon faced.

www.churchofjesuschrist.orgAlma 48Amalickiah incites the Lamanites against the Nephites—Moroni prepares his people to defend the cause of the Christians—He rejoices in liberty and freedom and is a mighty man of God. About 72 B.C.

True villainy: Deceit, tricking into a #SlipperySlope, greed, murder, more deceit.

What was going through the minds of the Lamanites who were effected by this power-shift?

Never in U.S. history has there been such a distrust in leadership which allowed aberrants to get into power. Perhaps something similar effected the Lamanites who silently allowed evil to go relatively uncontested to the throne.

www.churchofjesuschrist.orgAlma 47Amalickiah uses treachery, murder, and intrigue to become king of the Lamanites—The Nephite dissenters are more wicked and ferocious than the Lamanites. About 72 B.C.
