Here is confirmation of the Lord’s purpose in preparing Amulek as Alma’s companion. For the Ammonihahites, having two witnesses apparently validated the message. We may suspect that this was a legal or traditional understanding, as it would not have been spiritual. Had it been the result of the spirit, they could have understood the message as Alma gave it. We are therefore justified in assuming that either as part of law, or of social tradition, truth was established if there were two corroborating witnesses. God gave them exactly what they might need to understand the message. Knowing the Ammonihahites, the Lord placed the gospel in the best possible terms for them to be able to understand. That they eventually chose not to listen cannot be laid at the feet of the Lord.
