“A Type and a Shadow of Things Which Are to Come”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

By slaying Abinadi, Noah and his priests condemned themselves to death. in killing him with fire they chose the manner of their own or their descendants’ deaths. They were to reap as they had sown (see Mosiah 19:20; Alma 25:9-12). Similarly, had they chosen to repent and accept his message, their eternal reward would have been the same as Abinadi’s. “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward” (Matthew 10:41).
