Helaman Describes a Miraculous Preservation (West)
Alma 57:24 - Alma 57:27
Duration: 1:08
Alma 57:24
And it came to pass that after the Lamanites had fled,
I immediately gave orders that my men who had been wounded
should be taken from among the dead,
and caused that their wounds should be dressed.
Alma 57:25
And it came to pass that
there were two hundred, out of my two thousand and sixty,
who had fainted because of the loss of blood;
nevertheless, according to the goodness of God,
and to our great astonishment, and also the joy of our whole army,
there was not one soul of them who did perish;
yea, and neither was there one soul among them
who had not received many wounds.
Alma 57:26
And now, their preservation was astonishing to our whole army,
yea, that they should be spared
while there was a thousand of our brethren who were slain.
And we do justly ascribe it to the miraculous power of God,
because of their exceeding faith in that which they had been taught to believe —
that there was a just God,
and whosoever did not doubt,
that they should be preserved by his marvelous power.
Alma 57:27
Now this was the faith of these of whom I have spoken;
they are young, and their minds are firm,
and they do put their trust in God continually.
