Ammon‘s response to Lamoni’s spiritual coma is similar to Alma the elder‘s response to his son’s affliction, they rehearsed unto his father all that had happened unto them; and his father rejoiced, for he knew that it was the power of God. And he caused that a multitude should be gathered together (Mosiah 27:20-21).

“Ammon delighted in this experience because he knew ‘the dark veil of unbelief’ had been cast away from these prominent but now deeply humble Lamanite leaders. The light coming to their minds was that which always overcomes darkness—’the light of the glory of God, which was a marvelous light of his goodness.’ This illumination infuses such joy into the souls of men and women that every cloud of darkness is dispelled and the promise of everlasting life prevails in the human heart.” (Christ & The New Covenant, p. 118)
