Alma 36:28

And I know that he will raise me up at the last day, to dwell with him in glory;

yea, and I will praise him forever,

for he has brought our fathers out of Egypt,

and he has swallowed up the Egyptians in the Red Sea;

and he led them by his power into the promised land;

yea, and he has delivered them out of bondage and captivity from time to time.

Alma 37:44

For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ,

which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss,

as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass,

which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.

Alma 37:45

And now I say,

is there not a type in this thing?

For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers,

by following its course, to the promised land,

shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us

beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.
