“I Give Unto Thee for a Sign, That Thou Shalt Be Struck Dumb”

Brant Gardner

Korihor persisted in preaching against God and requiring a sign. Finally, inspired by the Spirit, Alma pronounced a sign that was both dramatic and effective: dramatic in that it happened immediately and obviously effective because it completely removed Korihor’s ability to mislead people by preaching. Korihor is struck dumb.
