The interview is now over, and with the affirmative responses Alma gives over the plates. What we get at this point is not focused on the plates, but rather on the blessing that Alma gives Helaman for his coming position. The first blessing is that the Lord will “prosper” Helaman in the land. This is a remarkable blessing because Helaman inherits his position in very perilous times, and will live through tremendous warfare. The Lord’s version of “prosper” is not always what we might wish it were.
