What is “rest in the paradise of God”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The state of peace that comes with redemption; spiritual enjoyment resulting from the power or presence of the Lord. … At death righteous spirits enter this state of rest from all trouble, care, and sorrow (Alma 40:11). When the righteous die in battle or at the hands of the wicked, they enter into the rest of the Lord (Alma 57:36; 60:13; cf. 14:11). Moroni bade farewell saying he was going to rest in the paradise of God until the resurrection and the Judgment (Moro. 10:34)” (Largey, Book of Mormon Reference Companion, 679).
