Zeezrom was a lawyer.
He tried to get Amulek to trip over his words. Of course, Amulek doesn’t trip, but instead,
confounds Zeezrom. In the course of his
responses to Zeezrom’s questions, Amulek articulates the doctrine of the
resurrection. All of God’s sons and
daughters will be resurrected. When my
little brother, Sam, is resurrected, he will arise as a child. His resurrected body will then grow until his
full stature is reached as a man. This
gives my parents the joy of raising him up from childhood to manhood. We will be resurrected at the age we died and
either grow up to manhood or womanhood or else we will grow back until the
appearance of old age disappears.
Evidently, this will take place rather quickly. Needless to say the resurrection will be
pretty cool. Amulek’s point to Zeezrom
is that we will all be judged according to the deeds in the flesh and no
unclean person will return to God’s presence in eternity until they have
completely repented and been cleansed from all sin. This doctrine made Zeezrom
tremble. It is this same doctrine that
Alma will preach to his erring son, Corianton, waking him up spiritually and
setting him on a righteous course for the rest of his life.
