Alma 39:17

And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand. Behold, I say unto you, Is not a soul at this time as precious unto God, as a soul will be at the time of his coming?

I will help you understand something about this. You wonder why these things should be known so long before they happen. Isn’t a person’s soul just as important to God right now as it will be when Christ comes?

Let me ease your mind about something. You’re probably wondering why these things need to be known so far in advance. Think about it: isn’t a soul just as precious to God right now as a soul will be when Christ comes?
