Mosiah 24:11-12 And Amulon commanded them that they should stop their cries; and he put guards over them to watch them, that whosoever should be found calling upon God should be put to death.

Before Abinadi. That’s what Amulon really wanted. He wanted things to go back to how they were before Abinadi had stood up bravely and told them the truth.
But it was hopeless. Because one person acting bravely is powerful. And that power quickly got out of Amulo…
