Alma 43

Verse  50

And they began to stand against the Lamanites with power; and in that selfsame hour that they cried unto the Lord for their freedom, the Lamanites began to flee before them; and they fled even to the waters of Sidon.

The Comments:

This verse states that “in the selfsame hour that they cried to the Lord” the Lamanites began to flee.

Is that literal? Within sixty minutes, or right away?

Perhaps it wasn’t right away, which means some more faith would need to be exercised. Or maybe faith had already been exercised, and it did happen almost at once.

I supposed that sort of distinction depends on what the people involved need to progress in their lives.

And now they have the Lamanites on the run, back to Sidon.
