“There Is a Time Appointed That All Shall Rise from the Dead”

Brant Gardner

Alma presupposes that Corianton has questions about how long it will be between death and the resurrection. Alma says that he doesn’t know and it doesn’t matter. The phrasing of his response indicates that there had been discussion of a first and second resurrection and what the difference might be. Alma does not want to discuss those fine points. What truly matters is that Yahweh will be just.
