Alma 40:15, 19, 21

Alma 40:15

Now, there are some that have understood

that this state of happiness

and this state of misery of the soul, before the resurrection,

was a first resurrection.

Yea, I admit it may be termed a resurrection,

the raising of the spirit or the soul and their consignation to happiness or misery,

according to the words which have been spoken.

Alma 40:19

Now, whether the souls and the bodies of those of whom has been spoken

shall all be reunited at once,

the wicked as well as the righteous,

I do not say;

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 40:21

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.
