[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

The prophet Helaman declared that a regulation should be made throughout

the church. That is not all.

They are appointing new priests and teachers.

We could lose everything!

What do we do?

Nothing. Pay no heed to the words of Helaman and his brethren.

Moronihah...

Father, is this where you defeated the Lamanites?

It was here.

But I was not the one who defeated them.

They were angry with us because of our religion, and the Lord delivered us.

The prophet Alma inquired of the Lord how to defend ourselves.

Never had the Lamanites been known to fight with such great courage.

But your father and his armies were inspired by a better cause.

We were not fighting for monarchy nor power, but for our homes and our liberties, our wives and our children, and for our rites of worship and our church.

You are greater than these people.

And you deserve to lead them.

Yes.

Helaman and his brethren need to learn their place!

Let us slay them.

What did you say?

I said, slay them.

Yes!

We must be rid of them!

We must be careful about this.

What do you propose?

A king.

I propose a king.

And anyone who supports and establishes him will become rulers over the people.

You, you deserve to govern this land!

We must tear down this government and destroy the church.

Make me your king, and I will make you rulers!

A King!

A King!

A King!

Give no heed to Helaman and his brethren!

We must claim the power that is rightfully ours.

How can they support this dissension, despite Helaman’s great care over the church?

They lie to you.

They try to control you.

Why do they seek to establish a king?

A king can protect us against the Lamanites!

We believe the words of Amalickiah.

Support me and establish me to be your king

and I will make you rulers over the people!

[CROWD CHEERING]

What have you heard?

Amalickiah seeks to be king and to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God has granted unto us.

Many in the church believe his words and have dissented from the church.

How quick the children of men do forget the Lord their God.

We see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place.

We cannot allow him to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God has granted unto us, or the blessing God has sent upon the face of the land for the righteous’ sake.

An unrighteous king will threaten our peace!

We shall not have our liberties taken away by an unrighteous king!

[CLOTH RIPPING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Our title of liberty.

In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lord,

I pray for the blessings of liberty to rest upon my brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land.

They are true believers in Christ and take upon themselves, gladly, the name of Christ.

I pray that the cause of the Christians, and the freedom of the land might be favored.

Amen.

Behold!

We live in a chosen land, and the land of liberty.

Surely God shall not suffer that we, who are despised because we take upon us the name of Christ, shall be trodden down and destroyed, until we bring it upon us by our own transgressions.

Whosoever will maintain this title, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them!

Captain Moroni is rallying the people!

The time has come.

Start gathering everyone.

Take a sword and be ready.

A sword?

I am a judge, not a soldier.

Do you doubt the justice of the cause?

[SUSPENSSFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[CROUD YELLING]

We covenant with our God,

that we shall be destroyed if we shall fall into transgression!

He may cast us at the feet of our enemies,

even as we have cast our garments at thy feet, if we shall fall into transgression!

We are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; yea, we are the remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coat was rent by his brethren into many pieces; let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or our

garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into

prison, or be sold, or be slain.

Let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph;

and stand fast in the faith of Christ!

For freedom!

For our families!

Our faith!

Go forth in all the land and gather together all the people who are desirous to maintain their liberty, and to stand against Amalickiah and those who have dissented.

They are lazy, they are weak, and they are insignificant fools. We will have power over the people!

Fight for me, we will rule together!

- Our peace! - Our peace!

- Our God! - Our God!

- Our families! - Our families!

- Our freedom! - Our freedom!

- Our peace! - Our peace!

- Our God! - Our God!

They are more numerous than we are.

I fear we shall not gain the point.

- Our peace! - Our peace!

- Our God! - Our God!

- Our families! - Our families!

Depart to the Lamanites.

- Our peace! - Our peace!

- Our God! - Our God!

- Our families! - Our families!

- Our freedom! - Our freedom!

- Our peace! - Our peace!

- Our God! - Our God!

Moroni did glory in doing good, in preserving his people, yea, in keeping the commandments of God, yea,

and resisting iniquity.

If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of

the children of men.
