Alma 39:8

But behold, ye cannot hide your crimes from God;

and except ye repent

they will stand as a testimony against you at the last day.

Alma 39:16

And now, my son, this was the ministry unto which ye were called,

to declare these glad tidings unto this people,

to prepare their minds;

or rather that salvation might come unto them,

that they may prepare the minds of their children

to hear the word at the time of his coming.

Alma 39:17

And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject.

Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand.

Behold, I say unto you,

is not a soul at this time as precious unto God

as a soul will be at the time of his coming?

Alma 39:19

Is it not as easy at this time

for the Lord to send his angel to declare these glad tidings

unto us as unto our children,

or as after the time of his coming?

Alma 40:8

Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise

it mattereth not;

for all do not die at once,

and this mattereth not;

all is as one day with God,

and time only is measured unto men.

Alma 40:19

let it suffice, that I say that they all come forth;

or in other words, their resurrection cometh to pass

before the resurrection of those who die after the resurrection of Christ.

Alma 40:20

Now, my son, I do not say

that their resurrection cometh at the resurrection of Christ;

but behold, I give it as my opinion,

that the souls and the bodies are reunited, of the righteous,

at the resurrection of Christ, and his ascension into heaven.

Alma 40:21

But whether it be at his resurrection or after, I do not say;

but this much I say,

that there is a space between death and the resurrection of the body,

and a state of the soul in happiness or in misery

until the time which is appointed of God

that the dead shall come forth, and be reunited, both soul and body,

and be brought to stand before God,

and be judged according to their works.

Alma 41:3

And it is requisite with the justice of God

that men should be judged according to their works;

and if their works were good in this life,

and the desires of their hearts were good,

that they should also, at the last day, be restored unto that which is good.

Alma 41:15

For that which ye do send out shall return unto you again, and be restored;

therefore, the word restoration more fully condemneth the sinner,

and justifieth him not at all.

Alma 42:2

Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee.

For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground, from whence they were taken —

yea, he drew out the man,

and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim,

and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life —
