But behold, I have somewhat to prophesy unto thee;

even until the prophecy is fulfilled;

therefore write the words which I shall say.

Alma 45:12

Yea, and this because they shall dwindle in unbelief

and fall into the works of darkness, and lasciviousness, and all manner of iniquities;

yea, I say unto you, that from that day,

even the fourth generation shall not all pass away

before this great iniquity shall come.

shall be numbered among the Lamanites,

even until they shall become extinct.

And now, because of iniquity, this prophecy shall be fulfilled.

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved,

so shall a remnant of the seed of my son

be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself,

while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish,

even as the remnant of his garment.

Yea, and even it shall be ourselves if we do not stand fast in the faith of Christ.

And it came to pass that when Amalickiah saw

that the people of Moroni were more numerous than the Amalickiahites —

he took those of his people who would and departed into the land of Nephi.

Alma 46:30

Now Moroni thought it was not expedient

that the Lamanites should have any more strength;

therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah,

or to take them and bring them back,

yea, for he knew that he would stir up the Lamanites to anger against them,

that he might obtain his purposes.

obey the commandments of the king.

who were in favor of the king;

and he sought to gain favor of those who were not obedient;

and, supposing that they were coming to destroy them,

therefore they fled to Onidah, to the place of arms.

that they would not be subjected to go against the Nephites.

Alma 47:8

Now it was not Amalickiah's intention

to give them battle according to the commandments of the king;

that he might place himself at their head

and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.

Alma 47:11

he durst not go down to the foot of the mount.

and they said also:

They have fled;

does not this testify against them?

Alma 47:36

Now these dissenters,

having the same instruction and the same information of the Nephites,

yea, having been instructed in the same knowledge of the Lord,

nevertheless, it is strange to relate,

not long after their dissensions

they became more hardened and impenitent,

and more wild, wicked and ferocious than the Lamanites —

drinking in with the traditions of the Lamanites;

giving way to indolence, and all manner of lasciviousness;

yea, entirely forgetting the Lord their God.

Alma 48:11

And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man;

he was a man of a perfect understanding;

yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed;

a man whose soul did joy in the liberty

and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;

Alma 48:16

And also, that God would make it known unto them

whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies,

and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them;

and this was the faith of Moroni,

and his heart did glory in it;

not in the shedding of blood

but in doing good, in preserving his people,

yea, in keeping the commandments of God,

yea, and resisting iniquity.

Alma 48:23

Now, they were sorry to take up arms against the Lamanites,

because they did not delight in the shedding of blood;

out of this world into an eternal world, unprepared to meet their God.

that their wives and their children should be massacred

by the barbarous cruelty of those who were once their brethren,

yea, and had dissented from their church,

and had left them and had gone to destroy them by joining the Lamanites.

Alma 48:25

Yea, they could not bear

that their brethren should rejoice over the blood of the Nephites,

so long as there were any who should keep the commandments of God,

for the promise of the Lord was,

if they should keep his commandments

they should prosper in the land.

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

Alma 49:10

Now, if king Amalickiah had come down out of the land of Nephi,

at the head of his army,

perhaps he would have caused

the Lamanites to have attacked the Nephites at the city of Ammonihah;

for behold, he did care not for the blood of his people.

Alma 49:11

But behold, Amalickiah did not come down himself to battle.

And behold, his chief captains durst not attack

the Nephites at the city of Ammonihah,

for Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites,

insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat

and they could not come upon them.

Alma 49:13

For they knew not that Moroni had fortified,

or had built forts of security, for every city in all the land round about;

therefore, they marched forward to the land of Noah with a firm determination;

yea, their chief captains came forward and took an oath

that they would destroy the people of that city.

Alma 49:18

Now behold, the Lamanites could not get into their forts of security

by any other way save by the entrance,

because of the highness of the bank which had been thrown up,

and the depth of the ditch which had been dug round about,

save it were by the entrance.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.

Alma 49:23

Thus the Nephites had all power over their enemies;

and thus the Lamanites did attempt to destroy the Nephites

until their chief captains were all slain;

yea, and more than a thousand of the Lamanites were slain;

while, on the other hand,

there was not a single soul of the Nephites which was slain.

Alma 49:26

And it came to pass that he was exceedingly angry with his people,

because he had not obtained his desire over the Nephites;

he had not subjected them to the yoke of bondage.
