The Book of Mormon: Part 20 (Mosiah chapters 25-29)
This episode is part 20 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers chapters 25-29 of the book of Mosiah, finishing the book. The people of Zarahemla and some of the people of Nephi are united. Alma baptizes King Limhi and others. The land prospers, but the new generation of young adults lead people astray. Alma gets God's encouragement to judge the sinners and seek their repentance.
Eventually, another rebellion happens to persecute the church. King Mosiah makes that illegal. Alma's son Alma and King Mosiah's four sons try to "destroy the church of God." They have a "road to Damascus experience" that turns them into missionaries.
King Mosiah is getting older but can't get a successor. He proposes a constitutional republic complete with federalism and democratic elections instead. The people love this new idea. The age of the judges will now begin.
