Hello, welcome back to Scripture Central. I'm Lynn Hilton Wilson.

And I'm Jack Welch.

Today we get to finish the Book of Mosiah with this wonderful proclamation of Mosiah

the second as he steps down from being a king to change the monarchy into a judgeship.

And then we see how that rolls out for the first nine years in chapters one through four of Alma.

And there's some really interesting material here.

Oh, it's fabulous.

Lots of personal lessons, but public lessons and religious lessons, church-related.

And identifies who the antis are too, and how you can identify those that are finding against.

That also.

What we see here is a transition, a peaceful transition in process, which usually doesn't happen

in the history of the world.

Very unusual, yeah.

So there are things that made that possible and lessons we can learn from it.

I thought it was interesting. The king sent out a proclamation to see who they wanted to be king,

and it wasn't his firstborn son. Yeah, it's Aaron that they... And at least in the list before,

he's the second. I thought this was in,

why are they even, he's even asking them, who do you want to be the king? I thought that was interesting. Well, I think he wants to involve them because this is the being ruled by the voice of

the people. Mosiah wants to start this new system with some kind of popular support. I don't think he's giving them a vote on who

should be next, but he's polling the people. Yeah, I see it in steps. We talked about how Alma

the elder had begun that, saying, no, I will not be a king. And those seeds were planted in the

people as they heard that story. And now we have the next step and the next step.
