An ambitious king enthrones himself over a divided, distracted and confused people via fraud, deceit and false flag operations. The people are led by Captain Moroni, a man capable of shaking the powers of hell forever, who inspires his people to rise up in their duties to resist the secret combinations and their criminal king. Inspired by a righteous cause, Moroni shows how true men of God battle for liberty, family, rights and God.

Secret combinations enforced tyranny and appointed wicked and murderous leaders into positions of power. The Nephites only sought to preserve their lands, houses, family, rights, privileges, liberty, and ability to worship God. The Nephites followed God’s command to “defend your families even unto bloodshed” and fought a defensive war with success, and extended a peaceful covenant to those who sought to destroy them.

Part 2 of the “Repentance & Atonement” The “worth of souls is great” and a soul that repents brings joy to God. Prophets teach tirelessly to get the people to be wise about this critical fork in the road: repentance and joy, or bondage and death. Christ’s pleads for us to understand: “I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent. But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I.”

Alma’s son Corianton received from his father one of the best discourses on the doctrine of the atonement ever given. This came after having found himself entangled in sin while a missionary. Alma detailed the delicate balance between mercy, justice and law, showing how everyone can come unto Christ and have their sins remitted. If one allows Christ’s atonement to take root in them, their sins (no matter how scarlet) can become as wool.

What does it mean to be “born of God?” We must fully understand this pivotal moment in one’s life, where a covenant of lifelong commitment and devotion to God above all else is received and rewarded by the heavens. God grants his children abilities to assist in healing, teaching and developing using His power, beginning with the gift of the Holy Ghost and the gifts of the spirits that accompany those born of God.

Korihor’s anti-Christ doctrines were gaining popularity among many. Having witnessed its damage tot he faith of many people, including the Zoramites, Alma resolved that “the preaching of the word… had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else… therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.”

The people of Ammon experienced the preaching of one who had the spirit of prophecy and revelation and who taught the doctrine of Christ by the power of God. Some experienced a mighty change and came unto Christ, Others rejected them, spat upon them, kicked them out of their churches and homes and sought to kill them. These joys and sorrows are the psalms of God’s true servants.

The end-time servant’s return culminates in the establishment of the New Jerusalem. After Joseph Smith comes back and finishes his commission, the Savior returns and receives His people. During the millennial period of peace, the faithful saints learn, develop and grow towards perfection in the celestial law. The earth prepares to become celestialized, and the people prepare for final Judgement.

Despite the scoffs of many, prophecies of Joseph Smith’s ongoing ministry until the New Jerusalem prevails are abundant. Joseph of Egypt, Lehi, Nephi, Zenos and Joseph Smith himself wrote many prophecies from the Lord detailing this return of “one mighty and strong.” This man is to be like unto Moses and receives a call back to the vineyard to set the Lord’s house in order. The only man specifically mentioned whom the Lord commanded to redeem Zion is Joseph Smith.

Christ will appear to His people in the New Jerusalem, a stronghold for the faithful remnant. These are they who resist joining the Babylonian destiny of confusion, chaos, violence and plunder. The saints of God are commanded to prepare for the second coming. All men are commanded to flee from Babylon, come to Zion, and prepare for the great day of the Lord.
