Despite this, across the whole land, the people lived wickedly. Therefore, the Lord took away his three cherished disciples. Also, miracles and healing stopped. There were no gifts from the Lord. The Holy Ghost inspired no one. All this was because the people were wicked and did not believe God.
When I was 15 years old, still being of a serious mind, the Lord visited me. In this way, I personally experienced the goodness of Jesus. Therefore, I tried hard to preach to this people, but God did not let me. They had willingly rebelled against Him. Though his three disciples were taken away, I remained among the people. Still, I was forbidden to preach to them because of the hardness of their hearts. The land was also cursed for them because of their hardness.
During this time, the Gadianton robbers, who were among the Lamanites, infested the land again. Therefore, the people began to hide their treasures underground, but they couldn't find them again afterwards because the Lord had cursed the land. The people also practiced magic arts, and the evil one worked his power on all the land. Thus were fulfilled the words of Abinadi and Samuel the Lamanite.
