- A Book of Mormon prophet, Alma the younger, preaches to the people in Ammonihah and is thrown out of their city. An angel of the Lord appears and tells Alma to return to Ammonihah. The angel says that the leaders in Ammonihah are planning to take away the people’s freedom. Alma is commanded by the angel to tell the people in Ammonihah that they will be destroyed if they do not repent.
Based on Alma 8:4, 11-17.
4 And he began to teach the people in the land of Melek according to the holy order of God, by which he had been called; and he began to teach the people throughout all the land of Melek.
11 Nevertheless, they hardened their hearts, saying unto him: Behold, we know that thou art Alma; and we know that thou art high priest over the church which thou hast established in many parts of the land, according to your tradition; and we are not of thy church, and we do not believe in such foolish traditions.
12 And now we know that because we are not of thy church we know that thou hast no power over us; and thou hast delivered up the judgment-seat unto Nephihah; therefore thou art not the chief judge over us.
14 And it came to pass that while he was journeying thither, being weighed down with sorrow, wading through much tribulation and anguish of soul, because of the wickedness of the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, it came to pass while Alma was thus weighed down with sorrow, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him, saying:
15 Blessed art thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice; for thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou receivedst thy first message from him. Behold, I am he that delivered it unto you.
16 And behold, I am sent to command thee that thou return to the city of Ammonihah, and preach again unto the people of the city; yea, preach unto them. Yea, say unto them, except they repent the Lord God will destroy them.
17 For behold, they do study at this time that they may destroy the liberty of thy people, (for thus saith the Lord) which is contrary to the statutes, and judgments, and commandments which he has given unto his people.

That always got me how, in The Book of Mormon, as soon as the angel said “Go back”, Alma “returned speedily”. Not only was he obedient, but he was enthusiastically obedient-to revisit a town that had made it very clear they wanted nothing to do with him! That’s faith.
Some people want to have an angel visit because they would feel special, but remember that what you really need is humility, and be willing to have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders to face the harder things.
We can rest assured of the same promise if we keep the commandments : 15 Blessed art thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice; for thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou receivedst thy first message from him. Behold, I am he that delivered it unto you.

I love how in this scene Alma _runs_ to return to the city.
Is there any archaeological evidence for this city?
No encuentro este vídeo con los subtítulos en español 😔
That's it? Is this all we get for our Friday video? What happened to getting a long video on Friday, then releasing these little bits during the week for teaching?
As good as the message was, I miss the longer Friday videos.
Plus they've already shown it. Is there anything new?
This is a segment. You can find the full episode in the Episodes Playlist.
