Book of Mormon Commentary Alma Chapter 7 Alma 7:22 And at some period of time they will be brought to believe in his word, and to know of the incorrectness of the traditions of their fathers; Many of the Lamanites had been deceived and had sinned in ignorance. But because of God's mercy "many of them will be saved" (23). THE DESTRUCI1ON OF THE CITY Is PREDICTED, VER. 24-36 Alma 7:24 But behold, I say unto you, that if ye persist in your wickedness, that your days shall not be prolonged in the land, for the Lamanites shall be sent upon you; The use of the passive voice may indicate that the Lamanites would be used by God to scourge the city. Then Alma broadens the scope of his warning to include "all this people who are called the people of Nephi" (27). Because of the greater light given to the Nephites, and the blessings God had extended to them, more would be required of them (Luke 12:57). Alma 7:36 I say unto you, that if this be the case; that if they should fall into transgression, that it would be far more tolerable for the Lamanites than for them. Jesus told his disciples in Palestine, "This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil" (John 3:19). The Nephites had "the spirit of prophecy ...the gift of speaking with tongues ...of preaching, and the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Alma 7:31). They were to be held accountable for this light. CHRIST S COMING TO SAVE THE REPENTANT, VER. 37-51 Alma 7:39 And now for this cause, that ye may not be destroyed, the Lord has sent his angel to visit many of his people, declaring unto them that they must go forth and cry mightily unto this people, saying, Repent ye, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh at hand; The visits of angels to the Nephites are recorded in fifty-four places in the Book of Mormon before this time. Amos declared, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, until he revealeth the secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7). When one reads Mormon's lamentation, as he viewed the slain after the last great battle which destroyed his people (Mormon 3:17-23), he should remember God's patience, mercy, and grace in these Visits and warnings. Alma 7:40 And not many days hence, the Son of God shall come in his glory; and his glory shall be the glory of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, equity and truth, full of patience, mercy, and long suffering, quick to hear the cries of his people, and to answer their prayers. "Not many days" was actually a little over fourscore years. Peter said, "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years [with us], and a thousand years as one day" (2 Peter 3:8). “He cometh to redeem those who will be baptized unto repentance” (Alma 7:41). Alma follows this statement by
Book of Mormon Commentary Alma Chapter 7 asking the people of Ammonihah to "prepare ye the way of the Lord, for the time is at hand that all men shall reap a reward of their works, according to that which they have been" (42). Alma 7:46 And now my beloved brethren, for ye are my brethren, and ye had ought to be beloved, and ye had ought to bring forth works which are meet for repentance, seeing that your hearts have been grossly hardened against the word of God, and seeing that ye are a lost and a fallen people. The people did not interrupt Alma again until he said this; however, his words of indictment that they were "a hard-hearted and stiff- necked people" still rankled in their minds. Again they sought to seize him and cast him into prison, but Amulek stepped out and began to preach. This unexpected support to Alma caused them to wait a little longer.
