[MUSIC PLAYING]

We are now a righteous people and do not fight against God anymore.

My father was a great king.

While he ruled, thousands were brought to the knowledge of the Lord.

And after was converted unto the Lord, he sent a proclamation throughout

the land that the word of God might go forth with no obstruction.

Our father was desirous that we might have a name, that we might be distinguished from our brethren.

And we are no more called Lamanites, but Anti-Nephi-Lehies.

Before his death, my father conferred his kingdom upon my brother, and he called his name Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

Ammon.

What is it?

The king is dead.

The old king is dead.

And soon, we will destroy their new king!

They have betrayed us with the Nephites who have stolen this land from our fathers.

Prepare for war!

They plan to destroy you.

They have stirred up anyone who has not been converted and has not taken upon them the name of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

We have seen first-hand their preparations for war against the people of God. There is not one soul among all the people who have been converted unto the Lord that will take up arms against our brethren. We will not make any preparations for war.

How will you defend yourselves? I know not, but my people shall not go to war.

I thank my God, my beloved people, that our great God has in goodness sent these our brethren to preach unto us, and to convince us of the traditions of our wicked fathers.

And I thank my great God that he has given us a portion of his Spirit to soften our hearts.

And also that he hath forgiven us our many sins and murders which we have committed

and taken away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of his Son.

Since God hath taken away our stains, and our swords have become bright, then let us stain our swords no more with the blood of our brethren.

For perhaps, if we should stain our swords again they can no more be washed

bright through the blood of the Son of our great God.

If our brethren seek to destroy us, behold, we will hide away our swords, yea, even we will bury them deep in the earth, that they may be kept bright, as a testimony that we have never used them, and if our brethren destroy us, behold, we shall go to our God and shall be saved.

I bury my weapons of war, as a testimony to God, and also to men, that I will never use weapons again for the shedding of man’s blood.

I covenant with God that I will not shed the blood of my brethren, even if I must give up my own life.

Rather than take away from a brother,

I will give unto him.

I covenant that I will never again shed the blood of man.

Rather than spend my days in idleness I will labor with my hands.

Our people will suffer unto death rather than commit sin.

We bury our weapons of war, for peace.
