It is amazing that as Zeezrom heard the recitation of the teachings of Alma and Amulek to the chief judge, it impressed this conniving Zeezrom what an abominable thing he had done to deliberately try to snare these men and have them arrested.

However the very fact that he had now begun to feel the pains of hell in his heart would indicate that he had opened his mind sufficiently to let the Spirit begin working on him.
