“The nine Nephite Apostles desired the same thing as Peter had desired: to come speedily into the Lord’s kingdom. Perhaps what they are requesting is the blessing of being resurrected soon after mortal death and taken into celestial glory with their Lord.” The Savior said this was a good desire (see D&C 7:5). “The significance, if any, of the specified age at which the nine would die—seventy-two years—is unknown” (McConkie et al., Doctrinal Commentary, 4:189).
