Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection —

are taken home to that God who gave them life.

And then shall it come to pass, that

the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are evil —

for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the Lord;

for behold, they chose evil works rather than good;

therefore the spirit of the devil did enter into them,

and take possession of their house —

and these shall be cast out into outer darkness;

there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth,

and this because of their own iniquity,

being led captive by the will of the devil.

Alma 40:14

Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked,

thus they remain in this state,

as well as the righteous in paradise,

until the time of their resurrection.

And if their works are evil

they shall be restored unto them for evil.

Therefore, all things shall be restored to their proper order,

raised to endless happiness to inherit the kingdom of God,

or to endless misery to inherit the kingdom of the devil,

the one on one hand, the other on the other —

that the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them.

And may God grant unto you even according to my words.

Amen.
