When a war is recorded, it is sometimes recorded that there is a time of recovery and preparation. This time of preparation would likely on fit in with the agriculture time recorded and this be different than that of the war’s recorded time. In the article, references are given to

    This verse, and the context surrounding it, is one of my favorites for the emotion of its story, and its importance to my understanding of the nature of God. The martyrdom of the righteous ammonites is one of the most horrible events described in the Book of Mormon; I can’t imagine what a test of faith it would have been for Alma and Amulek to not take action to prevent it.

Alma’s explanation in verse 10 is crucial to LDS doctrine, because it provides an explanation for evil being allowed…
