Amulek is a key figure from the
Book of Alma , a section of theBook of Mormon .Mission to Ammonihah
According to Alma, chapters 8-14, Amulek accompanied the prophet
Alma the Younger on a mission to the wicked city ofAmmonihah , where he preached theGospel and contended with the smooth-talking lawyer (and future convert)Zeezrom . There, he witnessed righteous women and children being burned alive along with their scriptures. Amulek pleaded unsuccessfully for Alma to use Divine power to save the victims from the flames; Alma assured his companion that the innocent would be received by God and that the wicked would face their judgment "at the last day." Amulek and Alma were later bound and imprisoned, but broke from their bonds through the power offaith , causing the prison walls to crumble, slaying their captors.Preaching to the Zoramites
