Abinadi has entered the picture. In the book True to the Faith, we read that a prophet has four main responsibilities: (1) testify of Jesus Christ and teach His gospel, (2) make known God's will and character, (3) denounce sin and warn of its consequences and (4) prophesy of future events. We read about Abinadi and how he accomplished all four of those responsibilities.
We read that King Noah became the king after his father Zeniff. King Noah did not walk in righteousness. He is leading a life of sin and teaching his people to do the same. Abinadi shows up and starts teaching him and his people the truth. King Noah wants to kill Abinadi, but the Lord saves him. We know that our prophets are protected by the Lord. Joseph Smith said, "I am not afraid; the Lord said He would protect me, and I have full confidence in His word."
DINNER CONVERSATION: King Noah and his people were on the wrong path. What path are you on?
