“Amalickiah’s life followed the pattern one would expect of Satan were he given a mortal probation. Like Lucifer, Amalickiah rebelled against the gospel plan in his thirst for glory and power, and he led others away from the truth. … It was Amalickiah’s intent, as it was Lucifer’s, to destroy the liberty of men (Alma 46:10; cf. Moses 4:3). They both sought to make war against the righteous (Alma 48:3; cf. D&C 76:29–30), and in the end both rewarded their followers with sorrow, misery, and suffering (cf. 2 Ne. 2:27; Alma 30:60). The life of Amalickiah exposes the pattern followed by many who are the enemies of Christ” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 46).
