We now return to the story of Zeezrom. Zeezrom is among those who have been cast out of Ammonihah. When we find him in the land of Sidom, he is burning up with fever. While this is a very physical manifestation, Mormon suggests that it is due to a spiritual cause rather than a temporal one. In this case, whatever the cause of the physical fever, Mormon understands that this fever is at least symbolic of the burning of the wicked, the lake of fire and brimstone of which Alma preached. Zeezrom had seen his sins, and is now in a lake of fire an brimstone, and very physical one in which "he began to be scorched with a burning heat."
