| 0:00.0 | Hello there. My name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
| 0:08.0 | Today we're going to cover Alma chapters 8 through 12. And these particular chapters |
| 0:16.0 | are a continuation of Alma's missionary journey as the high priest over all the church in the land of |
| 0:23.6 | Zarah Himmla. So let me begin with zooming in on this specific region of the land in Zarahimla. |
| 0:33.6 | Remember chapter 5 he was teaching in Zara Himla. Then in chapter 7 he went east of the |
| 0:41.3 | River Sidon to Gideon and in the beginning of chapter 8 he comes home to Zarahimla in verse 1 |
| 0:49.3 | to rest for a short season from his labors. And then he goes west of the River Sidon out |
| 0:58.8 | to Melech and the land and the regions round about Melech over by the wilderness. And you notice |
| 1:06.2 | that he has pretty good success in Melech, but Mormon only gives us three verses concerning the preaching |
| 1:17.9 | and the success. All the people that he baptizes from all the regions around about in |
| 1:22.0 | Melech doesn't seem to be a lot of opposition there. And then it tells us that he goes three days |
| 1:28.1 | journey northward to the city of Ammoniah. And it's here where Mormon really slows down |
| 1:39.2 | in the passage of time in his narrative and he gives us many chapters. Life is very difficult for Alma, |
| 1:48.3 | the high priest or Alma the missionary, however you want to look at him in this role in Amaniha. |
| 1:55.0 | It's very, very trying. So as we dive into the text here from the portion from Amanayha, notice it says that |
| 2:03.8 | when Elma had finally come to this city of Ammonaiha, it describes what's going on there. It says, |
| 2:10.6 | now Satan had gotten great hold upon the hearts of the people of the city of Aminaeha. So if you were a missionary and |
| 2:20.0 | you were being transferred to a new location and you saw that as the description of the people |
| 2:26.0 | that you were going to serve among, it would be pretty discouraging. I love the fact that |
| 2:32.2 | in this telling of the story, Mormon embeds two times the word nevertheless. |
| 2:41.4 | So nevertheless in this context implies this idea of, in spite of what you just read, this is what happens anyway, or this is the counter |
| 2:57.3 | effect. This is the outcome. So you would read this, Satan had gotten great hold upon the |
