  Abinadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Book of Mormon, Abinadi is a prophet who visits the court of King Noah at Lehi-Nephi, and pleads for them to repent of their iniquity.
Abinadi gives Noah the message of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth in the flesh, to live among the children of men.
Abinadi may actually mean "Man/Father come among you" or "Prophet among you" or even "God among you" (see Mosiah 11:20 and Mosiah 15:1).

 Mosiah 13
The power of the spirit in Abinadi was sufficient that it became a visible "luster." We do not read of such a visible expression of the spirit's protection in an incident between Nephi and his brothers, but clearly Nephi warned his brothers just as Abinadi has warned his would be captors.
In that case, it is Abinadi's purpose to show that they are mistaken in removing Christ from their teachings, and therefore he must show that the law of Moses is not as powerful nor salvific as they preach.
Abinadi's evidence for the hardness of the hearts of the Jews concerning this part of the gospel is interesting as it can come from only two discernible sources.

 Abinadi
Abinadi belonged to a small group of reactionary Nephites who had returned from Zarahemla a generation earlier to repossess from the Lamanites the city of Nephi, the traditional Nephite capital, and its temple.
Abinadi was apprehended by the people, bound, delivered to Noah, and accused of lying about the king and prophesying falsely.
Alma taught Abinadi's words concerning the death and resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the redemption of God's people (Mosiah 18:1-2), and the mighty change of heart through their conversion (Alma 5:12).

Thus the flesh was subjected to the spirit, or the Son to the Father, as Abinadi explains in 15:1-5.

Abinadi then delivered the remainder of his message, that which he said he must deliver, which consists of a prophecy and explanation of the coming of Christ to redeem mankind, and also his answer to the question the priests had asked him about a passage from Isaiah (Mosi 14­16).
Abinadi characterized the law of Moses as "a very strict law;...a law of performances and of ordinances, a law which they were to observe strictly from day to day, to keep them in remembrance of God and their duty towards him" (Mosi 13:29­30).
Abinadi's use of the phrase "eternal life" is not as precise as we have come to use it today; in the context of his discourse he was pointing out that those who die in ignorance, who never had a chance, are not overlooked or neglected by a merciful, all-wise, and powerful God.

Mosiah 12:28-37 Abinadi revealed that the problem with the priests’ claim that they taught the law of Moses was two-fold: First, they did not understand the law's purpose and secondly, they did not live it themselves.
Abinadi’s life was preserved by the Lord so he could testify of the Atonement (Mosiah 13:1-9).
Abinadi said that Jesus was called the Son "because he dwelleth in flesh" and the Father "because he was conceived by the power of God" (Mosiah 15:2-3; see also D&C 93:3-4).

 Alma the Elder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 148 BC, a prophet named Abinadi was arrested for preaching repentance and condemning the wickedness of Noah and his people.
Brought before the king and his priests, Abinadi emphatically urged them to repent and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When Alma began to defend Abinadi the king had Alma cast out and had Abinadi killed.

 Mosiah 12
The tactic backfires, however, as Abinadi "did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words." This tells us that there is a religious debate being held, and that while the attempt is being made to discredit Abinadi, he is holding his own.
Indeed, Abinadi's response strongly suggests that he understood this linkage to the larger context, because his response cites Isaiah 53, which is a continuation of the text message of 52 from which this text arises.
Abinadi declares that the priests of Noah are not correctly intepreting the law of Moses.

Verse 25: Abinadi has claimed to be a prophet and they have asked him to explain the words of another, rather difficult prophet.
To understand the importance of Abinadi’s message to Noah’s priests (and its ability to influence Alma), think of specific ways in which the Law of Moses gave the patterns for these things.
Abinadi has been telling Noah and his court how the Law of Moses is a type of Christ.

 Mosiah 12:1 Abinadi came among them in disguise
Whether this priest is trying to ask Abinadi a question he wouldn’t know, or whether he is sincerely wondering about the meaning of the scripture, we don’t know.
Abinadi explains that those who bring good tidings and publish peace are the prophets, I mean all the holy prophets ever since the world began (Mosiah 15:13).
Abinadi’s interpretation of this phrase touches on the importance of missionaries acting as watchmen on the tower.

 Mosiah 17:2 Alma…believed… therefore he began to plead with the king
Abinadi may have felt that he had failed as a missionary; so far as the record indicates, his only convert was Alma.
He thought if he offered Abinadi an excuse or a pretext whereby Abinadi could escape punishment for the crime of which the prophet had been declared guilty, and if he made it so tempting that Abinadi would accept it, he would then be relieved of all liability as to Abinadi's death.
Abinadi had been told he would be put to death.

 Abinadi's Use of Ancient Near Eastern Concepts in His Testimony of Christ (A Book of Mormon Nugget by Jeff Lindsay)
The Nephite missionaries apparently were highly influenced by the recorded teachings of Abinadi.
Summarizing, I find it interesting that Abinadi would introduce the phrase "bands of death" that appears to be translated from an authentic Hebrew phrase that did not make it into the KJV Bible.
And he uses this phrase in the context of a battle of deliverance between a divine hero, Jehovah, who would conquer the personified monster of death and thus "swallow up" death in victory.

 Abinadi and the Dead Sea Scrolls - Ancient Mormon Doctrine Scholar Dr. Einar C. Erickson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Abinadi was brought up out of their prison and when questioned, "he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment, for he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words," (Mosiah 12: 19) deftly turning the tables on all of them.
To this Abinadi made the response: "Are you priests and pretend to teach this people, and to understand the spirit of prophesying, and yet desire to know of me what these things mean?  I say unto you, woe be unto you for perverting the ways of the Lord!
 Abinadi must have made the skin crawl and hair stand on end of every one of the priests who were hearing him rise to this majestic height of prophetic power and interpretation and declaration of the salvation and redemption wrought by Christ.

I also hope Abinadi will inspire other musicians, dramatists and artists to perhaps write greater works in the future based on the principles and stories contained in the Book of Mormon.

 Mormanity: Lessons from Abinadi and Alma
I was impressed with a comment from a visitor (E. Sheldon, I think, from Chillicothe, Ohio) about the parallels between Abinadi and John the Baptist.
But in both cases, the king had qualms that had to be overcome by others, and in both cases, the work of the martyred prophet paved the way for establishing the Gospel in that area.
John prepared the way for Christ, and Abinadi prepared the way, in a sense, for the establishment of the Church under the hands of Alma.

A favorite story from the Book of Mormon is set to music in "Abinadi," which takes the stage this week at BYU.

"The story of Abinadi is one of inherent drama," said Meredith Ryan Taylor, BYU alumnus and writer of the music for the production.

Abinadi says that Christ will ascend into heaven, "being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice" (Mosiah 15:9).
Abinadi's interpretation of Isaiah 53 (Mosiah 15) is along the lines of Anselm's satisfaction theory.
Isaiah 53 also does not say anything about the atonement satisfying the demands of justice and gaining victory over death, as Abinadi does.

Also Goff's comparison of the story of Abinadi to "disguise narratives" in the Deuteronomist histories in his "Uncritical Theory and Thin Description," 170–207, especially 194–204.
Interestingly, the words of Abinadi contain the word 'Father' exactly eight times, 'Son' eight times, and 'Christ' eight times, as if to signal Christ's fatherhood and sonship equally." Welch also notes that "God the Father is clearly present in Abinadi's theology" (p.
