Rhetoric: Since there are two resurrections, first of the righteous and second of the unrighteous, Abinadi can use those labels to define the types of people who will be resurrected. Pointedly, he says that the prophets, who have all testified of the Atoning Messiah (Mosiah 13:33), will take part in this first resurrection. Abinadi is emphasizing that those prophets—those who have published peace; those who have testified of the Atoning Messiah—are the righteous.
