“The Word of the Lord Fulfilled”

Monte S. Nyman

The Lamanites kept their oath not to slay the Nephites, but the prophecy of Abinadi was fulfilled (vv. 3–4). The Lord told him that “I will smite this my people with sore afflictions … they shall have burdens lashed upon their backs, and they shall be driven before like a dumb ass” (Mosiah 12:4–5).
