Alma 12:24

And we see that death comes upon mankind,

yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek,

which is the temporal death;

nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent;

therefore this life became a probationary state;

a time to prepare to meet God;

a time to prepare for that endless state

which has been spoken of by us,

which is after the resurrection of the dead.

Alma 12:27

But behold, it was not so;

but it was appointed unto men that they must die;

and after death, they must come to judgment,

even that same judgment of which we have spoken,

which is the end.

Alma 12:28

And after God had appointed that these things should come unto man,

behold, then he saw that it was expedient

that man should know concerning the things

whereof he had appointed unto them;

Alma 12:32

Therefore God gave unto them commandments,

after having made known unto them the plan of redemption,

that they should not do evil,

the penalty thereof being a second death,

which was an everlasting death as to things pertaining unto righteousness;

for on such the plan of redemption could have no power,

for the works of justice could not be destroyed,

according to the supreme goodness of God.

Alma 13:1

And again, my brethren, I would cite your minds forward to the time

when the Lord God gave these commandments unto his children;

and I would that ye should remember

which was after the order of his Son,

to teach these things unto the people.

in what manner to look forward to his Son for redemption.

Alma 13:3

And this is the manner after which they were ordained —

being called and prepared from the foundation of the world

according to the foreknowledge of God,

on account of their exceeding faith and good works;

in the first place being left to choose good or evil;

therefore they having chosen good, and exercising exceedingly great faith,

are called with a holy calling,

yea, with that holy calling which was prepared

with, and according to, a preparatory redemption for such.

Alma 13:7

This high priesthood being after the order of his Son,

which order was from the foundation of the world;

or in other words, being without beginning of days or end of years,

being prepared from eternity to all eternity,

according to his foreknowledge of all things —

Alma 13:8

Now they were ordained after this manner —

being called with a holy calling, and ordained with a holy ordinance,

and taking upon them the high priesthood of the holy order,

which calling, and ordinance, and high priesthood, is without beginning or end —

Alma 13:9

Thus they become high priests forever,

after the order of the Son, the Only Begotten of the Father,

who is without beginning of days or end of years,

who is full of grace, equity, and truth.

And thus it is.

Amen.
