Amulek obeys the voice of the angel, and finds what he was told he would find. It is interesting that there is no indication that Amulek decided to obey the voice of the angel after his visit to his very near kindred. All indications are that he turned in his tracks and returned to meet Alma. Amulek introduces, belatedly, Alma to the crowd as the man to whom he was sent by an angel. It is interesting that this introduction of Alma’s divine appointment comes only after Alma has spoken and been rejected. Perhaps the Lord wanted to give the people of Ammonihah the chance to repent without the greater burden of rejecting a declared and confirmed prophet of God.
