“I Will Preserve Them”

Brant Gardner

Ammon inquires of the Lord and receives the word that the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehie should leave. Notice that the Lord says nothing specific about their acceptance among the Nephites. While the King’s eyes were focused on the possible problems ahead, those questions were not directly answered. All the king is told is that the Lord said “go,” and “I will preserve them.”
