Alma 40:9

therefore there is a time appointed unto men, that they shall rise from the dead; and there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection. And now concerning this space of time. What becometh of the souls of men, is the thing which I have inquired diligently of the Lord to know; and this is the thing of which I do know.

So there is a time set for people to rise from the dead. And there is a space between the time of death and the resurrection. What happens to people’s spirits during this time? This is what I have asked the Lord about. And this is what I know.

So there is a time appointed when people will rise from the dead, and there’s a space between death and resurrection. What happens to people’s souls during this space—this is what I’ve prayed diligently to understand. And this is what I know.
