18 And it came to pass that while Alma was thus weighed down with sorrow, Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him, saying: "Blessed art thou, Alma; Therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice,
19 For thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou received thy first message from Him.
20 "Behold, I am he that delivered it unto thee. "And behold, I am sent to command thee that thou return to the City of Ammonihah and preach again unto the people of the city, Yea, preach unto them,
21 yea, say unto them, except they repent, the Lord God will destroy them.
22 "For behold, they do study at this time that they may destroy the liberty of thy people - for thus saith the Lord - which is contrary to the statutes and judgments and commandments which He hath given unto His people."
23 Now it came to pass that after Alma had received his message from the angel of the Lord, he returned speedily to the Land of Ammonihah.
24 And it came to pass that he entered the city by another way, yea, by the way which was on the south of the City Ammonihah.
25 And it came to pass that as he entered the city, he was enhungered and he saith to a man: "Will ye give to an humble servant of God something to eat?"
26 And the man saith unto him: "I am a Nephite and I know that thou art a holy prophet of God, for thou art the man which an angel saith in a vision, ' Thou shalt receive ';
27 Therefore, go with me into my house and I will impart unto thee of my favor; And I know that thou will be a blessing unto me and my house."
28 And it came to pass that the man received him into his house, And the man was called Amulek; And he brought forth bread and meat and sat before Alma.
