Captain Moroni coloring pages

Captain Moroni prays with the Title of Liberty

Captain Moroni, from the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, was a Nephite military leader.  He was also a Christian and a very good man.  When a wicked man named Amalackia, who was also a Nephite, wanted to destroy their government and be made king... 

Captain Moroni tore his cloak and wrote the following on it:  

"In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom,

 and our peace, our wives, and our children"

Then Captain Moroni put on his armor (seen here as the kind of armor the Hopewell people wore).  Then he prayed for his people.  Next, Captain Moroni went among the Nephite people, waving his cloak with the writing on it that he called The Title of Liberty. . .  and he rallied the people to defend their freedom.  It worked and Amalickia was defeated.  But Amalickia escaped to go among the Lamanites and via murder and intrigue, Amalickia became king of the Lamanites.  Then he started a war against the Nephites.  The war went on for years.  

Amalickia even swore to drink Moroni's blood but that didn't work out for Amalackia.  Amalickia got a javelin to the heart one night when he was camped with his army.  But he managed to do a great deal of evil in his lifetime. 

In contrast, Captain Moroni did a great deal of good defending the freedom of his people.  The Book of Mormon says that if all men were like Captian Moroni then the foundations of hell would be shaken and Satan would have no power.  

I think it is interesting to see the amount of good one person can do and the amount of evil one person can do.  It makes me think that we all may be having more impact for good or evil than we realize. 

The stories involving Captain Moroni are found in the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.  

Below are some other drawings from previous posts that are also of Captain Moroni.  All the drawings posted or re-posted today are depicting Captain Moroni as a member of the Hopewell or Mound Builders, or Mississippian Cultures that were found in the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys.  They are found in other places in the Eastern United States.  There are other ideas that perhaps the events in the Book of Mormon took place in Meso-America, in Mexico, Guatemala, and other Central American countries.  The idea that the events could have taken place in North America also has some validity.  There are evidences that the ancient culture in North America smelted metals and built huge buildings like step pyramids (seen in the first drawing on this page

Now I am going to talk like a scientist...
It is actually rather maddening that the knowledge of these ancient cultures (Hopewell, Mound Builders, or Mississippian, etc.) has been suppressed or maybe just not sought out as it should have been.  It was popular for many years to look at all Native Americans as not worthy of their land...  so to be able to justify taking the land from the Native Americans, So it was very unpopular to note their advances in technology and to not talk about or study their advanced civilizations.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so I will admit that I am interested in these ancient civilizations because it would be nice to know where the events in the Book of Mormon took place.  However, I am also a retired science teacher and I think that whether you believe the Book of Mormon is a true ancient record as we believe... or if you don't believe that... it is awful to ignore that these magnificent cultures that existed.  It is just bad science.  There are enormous sites with huge buildings that have never been excavated and studied.  To me, this is a scientific tragedy.  Children should be taught that there were advanced civilizations here in North America.  University archaeology departments all over the United States and Canada should be running archeological digs at these sites.  Many sites have been destroyed because there are modern cities there now.  But many sites are still untouched.  We know more about the Maya and Aztecs than we do about these local cultures.

All these drawings depict Captain Moroni as if he was from one of these Mississippian, Hopewell, or Mound Builder cultures.  The weapons are indicative of some of their weapons.  The printable forms of the drawings are found by clicking on the correct category button up at the top of this page.  Scroll to the bottom of the Religion list to see today's drawings.  So click on the button that is labeled. . . .  Religion.

2 Triceratops species coloring page

There are two Triceratops species and today's post will tell you about them.

2 Triceratops species

New research has come out that sheds new light on the two known Triceratops species.  The more well-known species, Triceratops horridus, had a shorter nose horn.  It also lived a 1-2 million years earlier than Triceratops prorsus.  The rock strata doesn't lie.  Triceratops horridus fossilized bones (and horns) are found in deeper and therefore older strata.  This older species of Triceratops had a larger or longer beak.

Rock strata that is higher up or more shallow is 1-2 million years younger.  It is full of the Triceratops prorsus fossils.  Triceratops prosus had a much larger nose horn.  The Triceratops prosus skulls appear to be generally a bit more robust and also a bit bigger.  This younger species of Triceratops had a smaller or shorter beak. 

It appears that Triceratops prorsus evolved over those one or two million years from Triceratops horridus.  The fossil record shows that the strata between these two species of Triceratops has transitional forms with medium-sized horns.  Basically, the horns gradually evolved to be longer. 

Triceratops fossils are not uncommon and have been found throughout the rock strata of the Hell Creek Formation of Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wyoming.  I learned about all this tonight while watching a recording of a PBS show called Paleontology Road Trip.  It was a very good show.  I then looked up the facts on the internet.  

I learned that a team from Montana State University made this discovery.  They used many many individual fossilized Triceratops in their study.  It is very convincing.

However.... I just discovered something today... If you copy the version of my new drawing on this blog site and paste it onto a program like Microsoft Word, you will get a better print of the dinosaurs. O course you can still print from the category button
pages... but some of them (those drawn in pencil) are of
less quality there due to the nature of PDF files. 
The pictures on the actual blog... this page... are 
all PNG files and there is more detail. 

Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops horridus are considered two of the most iconic dinosaurs.  They certainly would have met in battle as shown in the below drawings.  They both lived in the Late Cretaceous Period in the western part of North America.  

Triceratops was the biggest of the Ceratopsian or horned herbivorous dinosaurs.  It was around 30 feet (9.14 meters) long and weighed between 6-13 tons.  It had a ball joint on its neck that would have allowed it to move its head and wield its long brow horns like double swords or two spears.  Paleontologists have good evidence that Ceratopsians lived in herds so a pack of T. rex would have been facing lots of sharp horns that were as long as broom handles.  Those horns would be powered by large and powerful muscles.  It is clear that T. rex sometimes won the battle and ate Triceratops, but a healthy herd would have been a hard kill.  But of course, predators prey on the old, the young, and the weak or ill animals of their prey species.  

I need to add a correction.  I am writing this part of my post a day or two later.  I just learned this so I should add that a separate species of Triceratops, called Triceratops prorsus had a few slight differences and may have been bigger than Triceratops horridus.  Triceratops prorsus lived at the very end of the Cretaceous Period, and Triceratops horridus lived a few million years earlier.  I learned this from a PBS show I saw tonight called Prehistoric Road Trip.  It was a very good show!   I plan on drawing these two species of Triceratops soon.  Now back to the original post. 

Tyrannosaurus rex had a length of around 44 feet (13.4 meters) and weighed perhaps up to 9.75 tons as well.  Tyrannosaurus was the last of the large carnivorous Theropod dinosaurs.  There had been some previous species of Tyrannosaur... like Albertosaurus and Daspleteosaurus.  T. rex was one of the biggest Theropods ever to walk the planet.

T. rex had puny arms and hands compared to the rest of its body, but it may still have used those arms to stand up from a laying down position.  T. rex did not need long arms to grapple with prey because its bite was incredibly powerful.  It could crush bone!  In fact, I have a piece of what is most likely Tyrannosaur droppings... fossilized of course.  These fossilized animal droppings are called coprolite.  The piece of coprolite I have has a piece of bone inside it.  This shows that the Tyrannosaur crushed and ate the bones of its prey.  There is also some good evidence that Tyrannosaurs lived and hunted in packs.  

These first two drawings are similar.  But they were drawn years apart.  The quality of art is improved now... I think.  The first drawing has a pair of Quetzalcoatlus Pterosaurs in the air.  The second has a Pteranodon Pterosaur in the air.  Both of these Pterosaurs were living in the Late Cretaceous when T. rex and Triceratops lived.  

Tyrannosaurus vs Triceratops

(This is the new drawing today.  Coincidentally I actually drew Triceratops prorsus... because the Triceratops in THIS drawing has a shorter beak and a larger nose horn...
although the horn SHOULD be pointed more forward.)

Mermaids are amazing beings.  They tend to be very beautiful (both Mermen or the males and Mermaids or the females) and yet they are rarely seen by us mortals. 

Sometimes River Fairies get confused with mermaids.  The reason is that first of all... Mermaids and Mermen can breathe air when they want to, but they also can easily breathe in water.  They don't have gills, they have a special type of lung that allows them to inhale water and extract the oxygen from the water.  So merpeople still need oxygen.  River Fairies use a charm when they want to go swimming underwater.  The charm is called the Pisces Animum.  

The Pisces Animum charm is used by all Fairies.  But the River Fairies use it more often.  The charm gives them the type of lungs that mermaids have.  If the Fairy wishes, he or she can also get webbed feet and or webbed hands.  Did you notice that the Mermaid in the drawing has webbed hands? 

Mermaids and Mermen are often friends with animals of the sea, and usually they have a favorite friend.  This Mermaid, in today's new drawing, is named Aquarius.  She has a friend named Foca.  Foca is a seal.   

Mermaids prefer to wear natural attire.  So you can see that Aquarius is wearing kelp leaves.  She is resting on a rock at a small coral reef.  Foca and Aquarius have both just swum in and gone to the surface.  They are just offshore of a beach.

The new drawings are found 

at the bottom of the list. 

The new drawing today is just below this explanation.  It was a huge Pterosaur from Northern Alberta Canada.  It was a big animal with a wingspan of around 36 feet or 11 meters.  

It was actually found over 30 years ago, but the bones were misidentified as Quetzalcoatlus... another huge Pterosaur.  The new name for this now new species is Cryodrakon boreas.  

Cryodrakon boreas is a great name for this animal.  The Genus name of "Cryodrakon" means "frozen dragon." The species name of "Boreas" refers to the Greek god of the North.  Boreas was also the god of wind and winter.  

Cryodrakon boreas was found in the badlands of Northern Alberta Canada, but it was not nearly as cold there during the Cretaceous Period.  Canada was located further South back then.  So the climate was more temperate.  It was not warm, but it was much warmer than it is now in Northern Alberta. 

 By the way, the Pterosaurs were flying reptiles. . . they were NOT flying dinosaurs.  There WERE some flying dinosaurs, like Microraptor.  They had feathers.  The feathered and flying dinosaurs evolved into our modern birds.  Pterosaurs are also known as Pterodactyls. 

Pterosaurs are a totally different evolutionary line.  Pterosaurs had possibly a fuzzy covering, but they did NOT have feathers.  Pterosaurs were the biggest animal to ever take to the air and be able to truly fly.  

Both Cryodrakon and Quetzalcoatlus were members of the Azhdarchid group of Pterosaurs.  The Azhdarchids were Pterosaurs with a huge head and neck.  They also tended to be the biggest of the Pterosuars.  

Cryodrakon was probably over 20 feet tall, or more than 6 meters tall.  That is taller than an adult male giraffe.  Quetzalcoatlus was of similar height... (see drawing down below).  Cryodrakon could walk on all fours, using the hands on its wings as front feet.  It also used its back legs at the same time.  Quetzalcoatlus was near this same size and most certainly walked the same way when on land.  So on land, both Pterosaurs were quadrupeds.    

 Cryodrakon boreas the Ice Dragon

(This is the only new drawing today.  Note the Northern lights in the sky.  See photo down below.)

As I mentioned before... it is estimated that Cryodrakon had a wingspan of over 36 feet.  That would be over 11 meters!  Think about it.  That is the wingspan of the F-35 fighter aircraft... seen below.

A história de Amon, o missionário nefita (Portuguese) Ammon the Nephite Missionary

Ammon vs the Robbers

Ammon contra os ladrões

A história de Amon, o missionário nefita

A história de Ammon é a minha história favorita no Livro de Mórmon. Ammon era um príncipe entre os nefitas. Junto com o filho rebelde do Profeta, ele andou por aí tentando destruir a Igreja Cristã. Esta gangue foi visitada por um anjo para dar-lhes uma chance de parar o que eles estavam fazendo e se arrepender. Todos estes jovens aproveitaram a oportunidade para se arrependerem.



Mais tarde, Amom, e todos os seus irmãos, recusaram a coroa e, em vez disso, foram em uma missão para tentar converter os lamanitas a Cristo. Os lamanitas eram inimigos dos nefitas. O pai dos príncipes, o rei Mosias, orou e o Senhor lhe disse para deixar seus filhos ir em sua missão e ele, o Senhor, iria protegê-los e eles trariam muitas pessoas para a verdade.



Quando chegaram às terras lamanitas, Os príncipes e seus amigos se separaram e Amom foi para o sub-reino de Ishamael. O rei, O Rei Lamoni, era um rei daquela parte das terras lamanitas chamada terra de Ismael. Seu pai era rei de todo o país.



Ammon foi capturado e levado perante o rei. Amon disse ao rei que ele, Amon, gostaria de permanecer com os lamanitas, talvez até o dia em que ele morreu. (Ele, de fato, ficou entre eles o resto de sua vida)... De qualquer forma, como estava a dizer... O rei até ofereceu uma das suas filhas a Amon para ser sua esposa. Ammon recusou, mas disse que seria servo do Rei Lamoni.



Então o rei colocou - o num trabalho difícil. Ammon foi enviado para cuidar dos rebanhos do rei. Foi um trabalho difícil, porque um grande bando de ladrões dispersava os rebanhos e roubava alguns animais. (A propósito, não sabemos o que eram os animais. Só sabemos que são descritos como um rebanho. Estou a adivinhar perus e foi por isso que desenhei perus no desenho.)



Quando os bandos eram roubados, o rei punia os criados por deixarem os animais serem roubados. O castigo foi a execução... fazer do trabalho de cuidar dos rebanhos do rei o pior trabalho do mundo.

Talvez o rei Lamoni pensasse que o Ammon podia fazer um melhor trabalho a defender os seus rebanhos. Ou talvez tenha ficado ofendido porque o Ammon não queria casar com a filha. Não sabemos.



Em qualquer caso, quando os ladrões inevitavelmente dispersaram os rebanhos, os outros servos começaram a entrar em pânico de que eles seriam mortos. Mas o Ammon fê-los reunir os animais e ele apanhou os ladrões. Primeiro, os ladrões e Ammon atiraram pedras uns aos outros com estropos. O Ammon bateu em alguns e os ladrões falharam todos. Então, os assaltantes apressaram o Ammon com tacos.



Lembra-te que o Ammon se tinha preparado. Ele era um príncipe entre os nefitas e certamente teria tido treinamento de combate. Ainda assim, devia ter sido espancado até à morte. Mas em vez disso, ele estava operando com a promessa do Senhor (feita a seu pai) de que ele não seria morto. Então o Ammon matou o líder dos ladrões com a sua espada, e qualquer ladrão que tentasse bater-lhe, cortaram-lhe o braço. A propósito, encontraram espadas de metal na área do Vale do Rio Mississippi... Estas eram espadas que a cultura Hopewell ou Mississippian fizeram. Eles também encontraram forjas onde os nativos americanos trabalhavam fundindo metal.)



Depois, os companheiros servos de Ammon levaram os braços cortados para o rei para provar que Ammon deve ser um Deus inatingível. O rei Lamoni teve medo de falar com o Ammon no início. Mas, eventualmente, Amon veio ver o rei e foi capaz de ensinar-lhe o evangelho.



Amom começou com a história baseada nas escrituras de Adão e Eva e passou a discutir outros profetas, etc. e a vinda futura de Jesus Cristo ao mundo. Amon explicou como Jesus tornou possível o arrependimento. O rei Lamoni acreditava, rezava e se arrependia, e eventualmente toda a sua casa. Na verdade, a maioria, se não todo o seu povo na terra de Ismael, acabou por acreditar. No desenho a seguir apresentado



Há muito mais na história. Leia sobre isso no Livro de Mórmon. Alma chapter 17-27. Esta é, na verdade, a referência para a história das missões de Amon e seus irmãos aos lamanitas. Como prometido pelo Senhor... nenhum deles foi morto pelos lamanitas, embora alguns tenham sido presos e abusados, esfomeados, etc. Esta é uma história incrível de como as pessoas podem se arrepender e mudar suas vidas e continuar a fazer grandes coisas em suas vidas.



É muito interessante que o irmão de Ammon, Aaron, fosse o príncipe herdeiro. E Arão Foi à capital e ensinou ao Pai do Rei Lamoni, que era o rei de toda a terra. Faz sentido se pensares nisso. Amon era um príncipe, mas não o príncipe herdeiro, então ele ensinou o rei subserviente, (Rei Lamoni). Por outro lado, Arão era o príncipe herdeiro dos nefitas e poderia ter sido rei se quisesse ser... e Aaron ensinou O Rei Supremo. Para mim, isto faz mesmo sentido. A propósito, o rei Mosiah, o pai de Arão e Amom, no final de seu reinado, uma vez que todos os seus filhos não queriam a coroa, estabeleceu uma forma republicana de governo democrático entre os nefitas.



Se você está interessado no Livro de Mórmon, Outro Testamento de Jesus Cristo, então entre em contato com a Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias. Muitos de nós servem missões às nossas próprias custas. Eu fui para o Novo México por dois anos e minha esposa foi para o Arizona por dois anos. Claro, isso foi há décadas, quando éramos jovens. O irmão da minha mulher e a mulher serviram três missões depois de se retirarem. Uma dessas missões foi em Inglaterra. A minha mãe serviu uma missão no sudeste dos Estados Unidos quando era jovem... e outra missão como uma mulher idosa para o México.

Temos irmãos, sobrinhas e sobrinhos que serviram missões em muitas partes do mundo. Os santos dos últimos dias servem estas missões às nossas próprias custas.


As roupas e as armas são da cultura Mississipi . . . Conhecido como mound Builders. Não sabemos ao certo onde nas Américas ocorreu o Livro dos Mórmons. Mas uma possibilidade é os construtores Mississippian Mound no centro da América do Norte. A cultura mississippiana tinha espadas de obsidiana e outras espadas de madeira com pedras afiadas colocadas ao longo de um ou dois lados para formar uma espada. Uma espada de Pedra De madeira semelhante existia na América Central. Existem também teorias de que os eventos no Livro de Mórmon ocorreram no México e na América Central... ou talvez até na América do Sul.



As versões impressíveis do desenho são encontradas sob o botão "religiões" no topo . . .

ou o botão de todas as impressões lá em cima. Estes não são novos desenhos, por isso não estarão no fundo das listas. Abaixo está o desenho de Ammon ensinando o rei Lamoni. A filha de Lamoni está de volta um pouco atrás do rei. Ela está carrancuda porque Ammon não queria se casar com ela... ou talvez ela esteja assustada com os braços que Ammon cortou quando os inimigos do rei tentaram dispersar os rebanhos do rei. Então, a maneira mais fácil de chegar aos desenhos é clicar no botão rotulado . .

尼ite人传教士亚on人的故事 (Chinese) Ammon the Nephite Missionary

Ammmon Vs. the Robbers

阿蒙vs强盗

尼ite人传教士亚on人的故事

阿蒙的故事是我最喜欢的故事在摩门教的书。 亚on人是尼弗人中的王子。 随着先知的叛逆的儿子，他四处试图摧毁基督教会。 这个团伙是由一个天使访问给他们一个机会，停止他们在做什么，悔改。 所有这些年轻人都took机悔改。



后来，亚on人和他所有的兄弟，拒绝了王冠，而是继续执行任务，试图将拉曼人转换为基督。 拉曼人是尼斐人的敌人。 王子的父亲，摩西亚王，祈祷，上帝告诉他让他的儿子去执行他们的使命，他，上帝会保护他们，他们会带来很多人的真相。



当他们到了拉玛尼人的土地，王子和他们的朋友分开，亚on人去了以撒玛利的下王国。 国王，国王拉莫尼，是拉玛尼人土地的一部分称为以实玛利的土地的国王。 他的父亲是整个国家的国王。



亚on人被俘，被带到国王面前。 亚on人告诉王，他亚on人愿意留在拉曼人那里，或许直到他死的那天。 （事实上，他确实在他们中间度过了余生）。.. 不管怎样就像我说的.. 国王甚至把他的一个女儿交给亚on人做他的妻子。 亚on人拒绝了，但说他将成为拉莫尼国王的仆人。



然后国王把他放在一个相当艰难的工作。 亚on人被派去照料国王的羊群。 这是一项艰巨的工作，因为一大群强盗会分散羊群，然后偷走一些动物。 （顺便说一句，我们不知道动物是什么。 我们只知道他们被描述为一群。 我猜火鸡，这就是为什么我在图中画火鸡。)



当羊群被偷时，国王会惩罚仆人让动物被偷。 惩罚是执行。.. 照顾国王的羊群是世界上最糟糕的工作

也许Lamoni国王认为Ammon可以更好地保护他的羊群。 或者，也许他被冒犯了，因为亚on人不想娶他的女儿。 我们不知道



在任何情况下，当劫匪不可避免地分散羊群的其他仆人开始恐慌，他们会被杀害。 但是亚on人让他们把动物围起来，他带走了强盗。 首先，强盗和亚on人用吊索互相投掷石块。 阿蒙打了几个，劫匪都想念他。 于是劫匪用棍棒冲向亚on人。



现在，请记住，亚on人已经准备好了。 他是Nephites中的王子，他肯定会接受战斗训练。 不过，他应该被棍棒打死。 相反，他是在与主（向他父亲所作的）的应许，他不会被杀害。 于是亚on人用剑杀害了强盗的首领，任何想要打他的强盗都被砍掉了他们的arm膊。 （顺便说一句，他们在密西西比河谷地区发现了金属剑。.. 这些是霍普韦尔或密西西比文化制造的剑。 他们还发现了原住民在那里工作冶炼金属的伪造。)



之后，亚on人的同伴们把砍掉的武器交给国王，以证明亚on人必须是一个不可杀死的神。 拉莫尼国王一开始害怕和亚on人说话。 但最终，亚on人来见王，并能够教他福音。



亚on人从基于圣经的亚当和夏娃的故事开始，继续讨论其他先知等。 以及耶Jesus基督未来的降临 亚on人解释了耶Jesus如何使悔改成为可能。 拉莫尼国王相信，祈祷和悔改，最终他的全家。 事实上，大多数，如果不是他所有的人在以实玛利的土地最终相信。 在下图中



还有更多的故事。 在摩门教的书中读到它。 Alma第17-27章 这实际上是亚on人和他的兄弟们向拉曼人传教的故事的参考。 正如上帝所承诺的.. 他们中没有一个被拉曼人杀害，尽管有些人被关进监狱，虐待，饥饿等等。 这是一个令人惊叹的故事，讲述了人们如何悔改，改变他们的生活，继续在他们的生活中做伟大的事情。



这是非常有趣的，阿蒙的弟弟，亚伦，是王储。 亚伦往都城去教训拉摩尼王的父亲，他是全地的王。 如果你仔细想想，这是有道理的。 亚on是一个王子，但不是王储，所以他教屈从的国王，（国王拉莫尼）。 另一方面，亚伦是尼普人的王储，如果他想成为国王，可能是国王。.. 亚伦教导大王。 对我来说，这真的是有道理的。 顺便说一句，王Mosiah，亚伦和亚on人的父亲，在他的统治结束时，因为他的儿子们都不想要王冠，建立了一个共和党形式的民主政府。



如果你有兴趣在摩门经，耶稣基督的另一个遗嘱，然后联系后期圣徒耶Jesus基督教会。 我们中的许多人是自费服务的。 我去了新墨西哥州两年，我的妻子去了亚利桑那州两年。 当然，那是几十年前我们年轻的时候。 我妻子的兄弟和他的妻子退休后服役了三次任务。 其中一个任务是在英格兰。 我的母亲在年轻时曾到美国东南部服役。.. 以及作为一名老年妇女到墨西哥的另一个任务。

我们有兄弟姐妹、侄女和侄子，他们曾在世界许多地方担任使命。 后期圣徒服务这些使命，我们自费。



服装和武器来自密西西比文化。 . . 又名土堆建设者。 我们不知道在美洲的某些地方，摩门教事件发生了。 但一种可能性是密西西比土堆建设者在北美的中心。 密西西比文化有黑曜石的剑和其他木材的剑，沿着一侧或两侧放置锋利的石头，形成剑。 类似的木石剑存在于中美洲。 也有理论认为，在摩门教书的事件发生在墨西哥和中美洲。.. 或者甚至在南美洲。



绘图的可打印版本在顶部的"宗教"按钮下找到。 . .

或者顶部的所有Printables按钮。 这些不是新的图纸，所以他们不会在列表的底部。 下面是亚on人教导拉莫尼王的绘画。 拉莫尼的女儿回到了国王后面。 她皱着眉头，因为亚蒙不想娶她。.. 或者，也许她只是吓坏了，当国王的敌人试图分散国王的羊群被亚on人切断的武器。 因此，获取可打印图纸的最简单方法是点击标记的按钮。 .

История Аммона Нефийского миссионера (Russian) Ammon the Nephite Missionary

Ammon vs the Robbers
Аммон против разбойников

История Аммона Нефийского миссионера

История Аммона - моя любимая история в Книге Мормона. Амон был князем среди Нефийцев. Вместе с мятежным сыном пророка он пытался уничтожить христианскую церковь. Эту банду посетил ангел, чтобы дать им шанс прекратить то, что они делали, и покаяться. Все эти молодые люди воспользовались случаем, чтобы покаяться.



Позже Амон и все его братья отказались от короны и вместо этого отправились на миссию, чтобы попытаться обратить Ламанийцев ко Христу. Ламанийцы были врагами Нефийцев. Отец принцев, Царь Мосия, молился, и Господь сказал ему, чтобы он отпустил своих сыновей на их миссию, и Он, Господь, защитит их, и они приведут многих людей к истине.



Когда они добрались до Ламанийских земель, князья и их друзья разделились, и Амон отправился в подцарство Ишамаэль. Царь, царь Ламоний, был царем той части Ламанийских земель, которая называлась Землей Измаила. Его отец был королем всей страны.



Аммон был взят в плен и доставлен к царю. Амон сказал царю, что он, Амон, хотел бы остаться с Ламанийцами, возможно, до самой своей смерти. (На самом деле он оставался среди них всю оставшуюся жизнь)... Во всяком случае, как я уже говорил... Царь даже предложил Аммону в жены одну из своих дочерей. Аммон отказался, но сказал, что будет слугой царя Ламония.



Тогда король поручил ему довольно трудную работу. Амона послали пасти царские стада. Это была тяжелая работа, потому что большая банда разбойников разбросала бы стада, а затем украла бы часть животных. (Кстати, мы не знаем, что это были за животные. Мы просто знаем, что они описываются как стая. Я угадываю индеек, и именно поэтому я нарисовал индеек на рисунке.)



Когда крали стада, царь наказывал слуг за то, что они позволили украсть животных. Наказанием была казнь... сделать работу по уходу за королевскими стадами худшей работой в мире.

Может быть, Царь Ламоний думал, что Аммон сможет лучше защитить свои стада. А может быть, он обиделся, потому что Аммон не хотел жениться на его дочери. - Мы не знаем.



Во всяком случае, когда разбойники неизбежно разбрасывали стада, другие слуги начинали паниковать, что их убьют. Но Аммон заставил их собрать животных, и он взял на себя разбойников. Сначала разбойники и Аммон бросали друг в друга камни из пращи. Аммон попал в нескольких, и все разбойники промахнулись. Тогда разбойники бросились на Аммона с дубинками.



Теперь вспомните, что Аммон приготовился сам. Он был принцем среди Нефийцев и наверняка прошел бы боевую подготовку. И все же его следовало забить до смерти дубинкой. Но вместо этого он действовал с обещанием Господа (данным его отцу), что он не будет убит. Поэтому Аммон убил предводителя разбойников своим мечом, и всякий разбойник, пытавшийся ударить его дубинкой, получал отрубленную руку. (Кстати, они нашли металлические мечи в долине реки Миссисипи... Это были мечи, сделанные Хоупвеллской или Миссисипской культурой. Они также нашли кузницы, где коренные американцы работали, выплавляя металл.)



После этого слуги Амона принесли отрубленные руки царю, чтобы доказать, что Амон, должно быть, неубиваемый Бог. Царь Ламоний был напуган, чтобы говорить в Аттопью на первый взгляд. Но в конце концов Аммон пришел к царю и смог научить его Евангелию.



Аммон начал с основанной на Священном Писании истории об Адаме и Еве, а затем перешел к обсуждению других пророков и т. д. и грядущее пришествие Иисуса Христа в мир. Аммон объяснил, как Иисус сделал возможным покаяние. Царь Ламоний уверовал, помолился и покаялся, а в конце концов и все его домочадцы. На самом деле, большинство, если не все его люди в стране Измаила в конце концов поверили. На нижеприведенном чертеже



В этой истории есть гораздо больше. Читайте об этом в Книге Мормона. Алма глава 17-27. На самом деле это ссылка на историю миссии Амона и его братьев к Ламанийцам. Как и обещал Господь... никто из них не был убит Ламанийцами, хотя некоторые были посажены в тюрьму и подвергнуты насилию, голоду и т. д. Это удивительная история о том, как люди могут покаяться, изменить свою жизнь и продолжать совершать великие дела в своей жизни.



Очень интересно, что Аарон, брат Аммона, был наследным принцем. И пошел Аарон в столицу и научил отца царя Ламония, который был царем всей земли. Это имеет смысл, если вы подумаете об этом. Аммон был принцем, но не наследным принцем, поэтому он учил подчиненного царя (царя Ламония). С другой стороны, Аарон был наследным принцем Нефийцев и мог бы стать царем, если бы захотел... и Аарон учил Верховного царя. Для меня это действительно имеет смысл. Кстати, царь Мосия, отец Аарона и Аммона, в конце своего царствования, поскольку все его сыновья не хотели короны, установил республиканскую форму демократического правления среди Нефийцев.



Если вас интересует Книга Мормона, еще одно завещание Иисуса Христа, то обратитесь в Церковь Иисуса Христа Святых последних дней. Многие из нас выполняют миссии за свой счет. Я на два года уехал в Нью-Мексико, а моя жена на два года уехала в Аризону. Конечно, это было десятилетия назад, когда мы были молоды. Брат моей жены и его жена служили в трех миссиях после того, как вышли в отставку. Одна из таких миссий была в Англии. Моя мать служила в миссии на юго-востоке Соединенных Штатов, когда была молодой женщиной... и еще одна миссия в качестве пожилой женщины в Мексику.

У нас есть братья и сестры, племянницы и племянники, которые служили на миссиях во многих частях света. Святые последних дней служат этим миссиям за наш собственный счет.



Одежда и оружие принадлежат к Миссисипской культуре . . . Он же строители курганов. Мы не знаем наверняка, где в Америке происходили события, описанные в Книге Мормона. Но одна из возможностей-это миссисипские строители курганов в центре Северной Америки. Миссисипская культура имела мечи из обсидиана и другие мечи из дерева с острыми камнями, расположенными вдоль одной или двух сторон, чтобы сформировать меч. Подобный меч из дерева и камня существовал в Центральной Америке. Существуют также теории, что события, описанные в Книге Мормона, происходили в Мексике и Центральной Америке... или, может быть, даже в Южной Америке.

Die Geschichte von Ammon, dem nephitischen Missionar (German) Ammon the Nephite Missionary

Ammon gegen die Räuber

Die Geschichte von Ammon, dem nephitischen Missionar

Die Geschichte von Ammon ist meine Lieblingsgeschichte im Buch Mormon. Ammon war ein Prinz unter den Nephiten. Zusammen mit dem rebellischen Sohn des Propheten ging er herum, um die christliche Kirche zu zerstören. Diese Bande wurde von einem Engel besucht, um Ihnen die chance zu geben, aufzuhören, was Sie Taten und Buße zu tun. Alle diese Jungen Männer nutzten die Gelegenheit, um Buße zu tun.



Später lehnten Ammon und alle seine Brüder die Krone ab und gingen stattdessen auf eine mission, um die Lamaniten zu Christus zu bekehren. Die Lamaniten waren Feinde der Nephiten. Der Vater der Fürsten, König Mosia, betete, und der Herr sagte ihm, er solle seine Söhne auf Ihre mission gehen lassen, Und er, der Herr, würde Sie beschützen und Sie würden viele Menschen zur Wahrheit bringen.



Als Sie in das lamanitische Land kamen, trennten sich die Fürsten und Ihre Freunde und Ammon ging in das Unterreich isamael. Der König, König Lamoni, war ein König dieses Teils des lamanitischen Landes, das Land Ismael genannt wurde. Sein Vater war König über das ganze Land.



Ammon wurde gefangen genommen und vor dem König genommen. Ammon sagte dem König, dass er, Ammon, bei den Lamaniten bleiben möchte, vielleicht bis zu seinem Tod. (Er blieb tatsächlich den rest seines Lebens unter Ihnen)... Jedenfalls, wie ich schon sagte... Der König bot Ammon sogar eine seiner Töchter an, seine Frau zu sein. Ammon lehnte ab, sagte aber, er werde König lamonis Diener sein.



Dann legte der König ihn in einen ziemlich harten job. Ammon wurde geschickt, um die Herden des Königs zu versorgen. Das war ein harter job, weil eine große Gruppe von Räubern die Herden zerstreuen und dann einige der Tiere stehlen würde. (Übrigens, wir wissen nicht, was die Tiere waren. Wir wissen nur, dass Sie als Herde beschrieben werden. Ich vermute Truthähne und deshalb habe ich Truthähne in die Zeichnung gezeichnet.)



Als Herden gestohlen wurden, bestrafte der König die Diener dafür, dass die Tiere gestohlen wurden. Die Strafe war Hinrichtung... die Herden des Königs zum schlimmsten job der Welt zu machen.

Vielleicht dachte König Lamoni, Ammon könnte seine Herden besser verteidigen. Oder vielleicht war er beleidigt, weil Ammon seine Tochter nicht heiraten wollte. Wir wissen es nicht.



In jedem Fall, wenn die Räuber unvermeidlich verstreut die Herden die anderen Diener begann in Panik, dass Sie getötet werden. Aber Ammon hat Sie dazu gebracht, die Tiere zu sammeln und er hat die Räuber übernommen. Zuerst warfen die Räuber und Ammon Steine mit schleudern aufeinander. Ammon traf ein paar und die Räuber vermissten ihn alle. So stürmten die Räuber mit Schlägern auf Ammon zu.



Denk daran, Ammon hatte sich vorbereitet. Er war ein Prinz unter den Nephiten und er hätte sicherlich Kampftraining gehabt. Trotzdem HÄTTE er zu Tode geprügelt werden sollen. Aber stattdessen handelte er mit der Verheißung des Herrn (gemacht an seinen Vater), dass er nicht getötet werden würde. So tötete Ammon den Anführer der Räuber mit seinem Schwert, und jeder Räuber, der versuchte, ihn zu schlagen, bekam Ihren arm abgehackt. (Übrigens haben Sie metallschwerter im Mississippi River Valley gefunden... Dies waren Schwerter, die die Hopewell oder Mississippian Kultur gemacht. Sie haben auch Schmieden gefunden, wo die Indianer Metallschmelzen arbeiteten.)



Danach nahmen Ammons Mitknechte die abgehackten Arme in den König, um zu beweisen, dass Ammon ein untötbarer Gott sein muss. König Lamoni hatte zuerst Angst, mit Ammon zu reden. Aber schließlich kam Ammon, um den König zu sehen und konnte ihm das Evangelium lehren.



Ammon begann mit der schriftbasierten Geschichte von Adam und Eva und diskutierte weiter über andere Propheten usw. und das zukünftige kommen Jesu Christi in die Welt. Ammon erklärte, wie Jesus die Umkehr möglich machte. König Lamoni glaubte, betete und bereute, und schließlich sein ganzes Haus. In der Tat glaubten die meisten, wenn nicht alle seine Leute im Land Ismael schließlich. In der folgenden Zeichnung



Es gibt viel mehr zur Geschichte. Lesen Sie darüber im Buch Mormon. Alma, Kapitel 17-27. Dies ist eigentlich die Referenz für die Geschichte von Ammon und den Missionen seiner Brüder zu den Lamaniten. Wie vom Herrn versprochen... keiner von Ihnen wurde von den Lamaniten getötet, obwohl einige ins Gefängnis gebracht und missbraucht, verhungert usw. Dies ist eine erstaunliche Geschichte, wie Menschen umkehren und Ihr Leben umdrehen können und große Dinge in Ihrem Leben tun.



Es ist sehr interessant, dass Ammons Bruder Aaron der Kronprinz war. Und Aaron ging in die Hauptstadt und lehrte König lamonis Vater, der König des ganzen Landes war. Das macht Sinn, wenn man darüber nachdenkt. Ammon war ein Prinz, aber nicht der Kronprinz, also lehrte er den unterwürfigen König (König Lamoni). Auf der anderen Seite war Aaron der Kronprinz der Nephiten und hätte König sein können, wenn er es gewollt hätte... und Aaron lehrte, den Hohen König. Für mich macht das wirklich Sinn. Übrigens, König Mosia, Aarons und Ammons Vater, am Ende seiner Herrschaft, da seine Söhne alle die Krone nicht wollten, etablierte eine Republikanische form der demokratischen Regierung unter den Nephiten.



Wenn Sie an dem Buch Mormon interessiert sind, Einem anderen Testament Jesu Christi, dann wenden Sie sich an die Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage. Viele von uns dienen Missionen auf eigene Kosten. Ich ging für zwei Jahre nach New Mexico und meine Frau ging für zwei Jahre nach Arizona. Das war natürlich vor Jahrzehnten, als wir jung waren. Der Bruder meiner Frau und seine Frau dienten drei Missionen, nachdem Sie in Rente gingen. Eine dieser Missionen war in England. Meine Mutter diente als junge Frau einer mission in den südöstlichen USA... und eine weitere mission als ältere Frau nach Mexiko.

Wir haben Geschwister und Nichten und Neffen, die Missionen in vielen teilen der Welt gedient haben. Heilige der letzten Tage dienen diesen Missionen auf eigene Kosten.



Die outfits und Waffen aus dem Mississippian Kultur . . . AKA Mound-Erbauer. Wir wissen nicht genau, wo in Amerika das Buch der Mormon-Ereignisse stattgefunden hat. Aber eine Möglichkeit sind die Mississippian Mound Builders im Zentrum von Nordamerika. Die mississippische Kultur hatte Schwerter aus obsidian und andere Schwerter aus Holz mit scharfen Steinen an einer oder zwei Seiten, um ein Schwert zu bilden. Ein ähnliches Holz-Stein-Schwert existierte in Mittelamerika. Es gibt auch Theorien, dass die Ereignisse im Buch Mormon in Mexiko und Mittelamerika stattfanden... oder vielleicht sogar in Südamerika.

Ammon belehrt König Lamoni

La historia de Ammón el Misionero Nefita (Spanish) Ammon the Nephite Missionary

Ammón contra los ladrones

La historia de Ammón es mi historia favorita en el Libro de Mormón. Ammón era un príncipe entre los nefitas. Junto con el hijo rebelde del profeta, dio la vuelta tratando de destruir la Iglesia cristiana. Esta banda fue visitada por un ángel para darles la oportunidad de detener lo que estaban haciendo y arrepentirse. Todos estos jóvenes aprovecharon la oportunidad para arrepentirse.



Más tarde, Ammón, y todos sus hermanos, rechazaron la corona y, en su lugar, emprendieron una misión para tratar de convertir a los lamanitas a Cristo. Los lamanitas eran enemigos de los nefitas. El padre de los príncipes, el rey Mosíah, oró y el Señor le dijo que dejara ir a sus hijos en su misión y Él, el Señor, los protegería y llevarían a muchas personas a la verdad.



Cuando llegaron a las tierras lamanitas, los príncipes y sus amigos se separaron y Ammón fue al sub-reino de Ishamael. El rey, el rey Lamoni, era un rey de esa parte de las tierras lamanitas llamada Tierra de Ismael. Su padre era rey en todo el país.



Ammón fue capturado y llevado ante el rey. Ammón le dijo al rey que él, Ammón, le gustaría permanecer con los lamanitas, tal vez hasta el día en que murió. (De hecho, permaneció entre ellos todo el resto de su vida)... De todos modos, como estaba diciendo... El rey incluso ofreció una de sus hijas a Ammón para que fuera su esposa. Ammón se negó, pero dijo que sería el siervo del rey Lamoni.



Entonces el rey lo puso en un trabajo bastante difícil. Ammón fue enviado para atender las bandadas del rey. Ese fue un trabajo difícil porque una gran banda de ladrones dispersaría las bandadas y luego robaría algunos de los animales. (Por cierto, no sabemos cuáles eran los animales. Sólo sabemos que se describen como un rebaño. Estoy adivinando pavos y es por eso que dibujé pavos en el dibujo.)



Cuando los rebaños fueron robados, el rey castigaría a los sirvientes por dejar que los animales fueran robados. El castigo fue la ejecución... haciendo que el trabajo de cuidar las bandadas del rey sea el peor trabajo del mundo.

Tal vez el rey Lamoni pensó que Ammón podría hacer un mejor trabajo defendiendo a sus rebaños. O tal vez se ofendió porque Ammón no quería casarse con su hija. No lo sabemos.



En cualquier caso, cuando los ladrones esparcieron inevitablemente las bandadas, los otros sirvientes comenzaron a entrar en pánico para que serían asesinados. Pero Ammón consiguió que reunieran a los animales y se enfrentó a los ladrones. Primero, los ladrones y Ammón se arrojaron piedras el uno al otro con eslingas. Ammón golpeó a unos pocos y todos los ladrones lo extrañaron. Así que los ladrones corrieron Ammón con los clubes.



Ahora, recuerden que Ammón se había preparado a sí mismo. Era un príncipe entre los nefitas y ciertamente habría tenido entrenamiento de combate. Aún así, DEBERÍA haber sido golpeado hasta la muerte. Pero en cambio, estaba operando con la promesa del Señor (hecha a su padre) de que no lo matarían. Así que Ammón asesinado el líder de los ladrones con su espada, y cualquier ladrón que intentó club que le consiguió su brazo cortado. (Por cierto, han encontrado espadas de metal en el área del valle del río Mississippi... Estas eran espadas que la cultura Hopewell o Mississippian hizo. También han encontrado forjas donde los nativos americanos trabajaron fundición de metal.)  También hay teorías de que los acontecimientos en el Libro de Mormón tuvieron lugar en México y Centroamérica... o tal vez incluso en América del Sur.



Después, los compañeros de Ammón tomaron las armas cortadas en el rey para demostrar que Ammón debe ser un dios no matable. El rey Lamoni tenía miedo de hablar con Ammón al principio. Pero finalmente, Ammón vino a ver al rey y pudo enseñarle el Evangelio.



Ammón comenzó con la historia basada en las Escrituras de Adán y Eva y pasó a discutir otros profetas, etc. y la futura venida de Jesucristo al mundo. Ammón explicó cómo Jesús hizo posible el arrepentimiento. El rey Lamoni creyó, oró y se arrepintió, y finalmente toda su casa. De hecho, la mayoría, si no toda su gente en la Tierra de Ismael finalmente creyó. En el siguiente dibujo



Hay mucho más en la historia. Lea sobre esto en el Libro de Mormón. Alma capítulo 17-27. Esta es en realidad la referencia para la historia de las misiones de Ammón y sus hermanos a los lamanitas. Según lo prometido por el Señor... ninguno de ellos fue asesinado por los lamanitas, aunque algunos fueron puestos en prisión y maltratados, muertos de hambre, etc. Esta es una historia increíble de cómo las personas pueden arrepentirse y cambiar sus vidas y continuar haciendo grandes cosas en sus vidas.



Es muy interesante que el hermano de Ammón, Aaron, fuera el príncipe heredero. Y Aarón fue a la ciudad capital y enseñó al padre del rey Lamoni, que era el rey de toda la tierra. Eso tiene sentido si lo piensas. Ammón era un príncipe pero no el príncipe heredero, por lo que enseñó al rey subordinado, (Rey Lamoni). Por otro lado, Aarón era el príncipe heredero de los nefitas y podría haber sido rey si hubiera querido serlo... y Aarón enseñó al Rey Supremo. Para mí esto realmente tiene sentido. Por cierto, el rey Mosíah, el padre de Aarón y Ammón, al final de su reinado, ya que sus hijos no querían la corona, estableció una forma republicana de gobierno democrático entre los nefitas.



Si está interesado en El Libro de Mormón, Otro Testamento de Jesucristo, comuníquese con la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días. Muchos de nosotros servimos misiones por nuestra propia cuenta. Fui a Nuevo México durante dos años y mi esposa fue a Arizona durante dos años. Por supuesto, eso fue hace décadas cuando éramos jóvenes. El hermano de mi esposa y su esposa sirvieron tres misiones después de que se retiraron. Una de esas misiones fue en Inglaterra. Mi madre sirvió en una misión al sureste de los Estados Unidos cuando era una mujer joven... y otra misión como anciana a México.

Tenemos hermanos, sobrinas y sobrinos que han servido en misiones en muchas partes del mundo. Los Santos de los Últimos Días sirven estas misiones por nuestra propia cuenta.



Los trajes y las armas son de la cultura Mississippian. . . AKA Constructores de montículos. No sabemos con certeza en qué parte de las Américas se llevaron a cabo los eventos del Libro de Mormón. Pero una posibilidad es el Mississippian Mound Builders en el centro de América del Norte. La cultura Mississippian tenía espadas de obsidiana y otras espadas de madera con piedras afiladas colocadas a lo largo de uno o dos lados para formar una espada. Una espada de piedra de madera similar existía en América Central.

The Story of Ammon the Nephite Missionary coloring pages

Ammon and his brothers went on a long mission to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Lamanites.  The below drawings were done and posted a year or two ago.  This is basically a re-posting... with a bit of added info.  To my English readers... I will be posting this in multiple languages.  Then I will repost it in English.

Ammon vs the Robbers

The story of Ammon the Nephite Missionary

The story of Ammon is my favorite story in the Book of Mormon.  Ammon was a prince among the Nephites.  Along with the prophet's rebellious son, he went around trying to destroy the Christian Church.  This gang was visited by an angel to give them a chance to stop what they were doing and repent.  All of these young men took the opportunity to repent.  

Later, Ammon, and all of his brothers, refused the crown and instead went on a mission to try and convert the Lamanites to Christ.  The Lamanites were enemies to the Nephites.  The princes' father, King Mosiah, prayed and the Lord told him to let his sons go on their mission and He, the Lord, would protect them and they would bring many people to the truth.  

When they got to the Lamanite lands the princes and their friends split up and Ammon went to the sub-kingdom of Ishamael.  The king, King Lamoni, was a king of that part of the Lamanite lands called the Land of Ishmael.  His father was king over the entire country.  

Ammon was captured and taken before the king.  Ammon told the king that he, Ammon, would like to remain with the Lamanites, perhaps until the day he died.  (He did, in fact, stay among them all the rest of his life)...   Anyway, as I was saying... The king even offered one of his daughters to Ammon to be his wife.  Ammon declined but said he would be King Lamoni's servant.  

Then the king put him in a rather tough job.  Ammon was sent to tend the king's flocks.  That was a tough job because a large band of robbers would scatter the flocks and then steal some of the animals.  (By the way, we don't know what the animals were.  We just know they are described as a flock.  I am guessing turkeys and that is why I drew turkeys in the drawing.)

When flocks were stolen the king would punish the servants for letting the animals get stolen.  The punishment was execution... making the job of tending the king's flocks the worst job in the world.  

Maybe King Lamoni thought Ammon could do a better job defending his flocks.  Or maybe he was offended because Ammon did not want to marry his daughter.  We don't know.  

In any case, when the robbers inevitably scattered the flocks the other servants started panicking that they would be killed.  But Ammon got them to round up the animals and he took on the robbers.  First, the robbers and Ammon threw stones at each other with slings.  Ammon hit a few and the robbers all missed him.  So the robbers rushed Ammon with clubs.  

Now, remember that Ammon had prepared himself.  He was a prince among the Nephites and he certainly would have had combat training.  Still, he SHOULD have been clubbed to death.  But instead, he was operating with the promise of the Lord (made to his father) that he would not be killed.  So Ammon killed the leader of the robbers with his sword, and any robber who tried to club him got their arm chopped off.  (By the way, they HAVE found metal swords in the Mississippi River Valley area... These were swords that the Hopewell or Mississippian culture made.  They also have found forges where the Native Americans worked smelting metal.)

Afterward Ammon's fellow servants took the chopped off arms into the king to prove that Ammon must be an un-killable god.   King Lamoni was scared to talk to Ammon at first.  But eventually, Ammon came to see the king and was able to teach him the Gospel.

Ammon started with the scripture-based story of Adam and Eve and went on to discuss other prophets etc. and the future coming of Jesus Christ to the world.  Ammon explained how Jesus made repentance possible.  King Lamoni believed, prayed and repented, and eventually all his household.  In fact, most, if not all his people in the Land of Ishmael eventually believed.  In the below drawing 

There is much more to the story.  Read about it in the Book of Mormon.  Alma chapter 17-27.  This is actually the reference for the story of both Ammon and his brothers' missions to the Lamanites.  As promised by the Lord... none of them were killed by the Lamanites, although some were put in prison and abused, starved, etc.  This is an amazing story of how people can repent and turn their lives around and go on to do great things in their lives. 

It is very interesting that Ammon's brother, Aaron, was the crown prince.  And Aaron went to the capital city and taught King Lamoni's father who was the king of all the land.  That makes sense if you think about it.  Ammon was a prince but not the crown prince so he taught the subservient king, (King Lamoni). On the other hand, Aaron was the crown prince of the Nephites and could have been king if he had wanted to be... and Aaron taught the High King.  To me this really makes sense.  By the way, King Mosiah, Aaron's and Ammon's father, at the end of his reign, since his sons all did not want the crown, established a republican form of democratic government among the Nephites.  

If you are interested in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, then contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Many of us serve missions at our own expense.  I went to New Mexico for two years and my wife went to Arizona for two years.  Of course, that was decades ago when we were young.  My wife's brother and his wife served three missions after they retired.  One of those missions was in England.  My mother served a mission to the South-Eastern United States when she was a young woman... and another mission as an elderly woman to Mexico.
We have siblings and nieces and nephews who have served missions in many parts of the world.  Latter-Day Saints serve these missions at our own expense.
  

The outfits and weapons are from the Mississippian Culture . . . AKA Mound Builders.  We don't know for certain where in the Americas that the Book of Mormon events took place.  But one possibility is the Mississippian Mound Builders in the center of North America.  The Mississippian culture had swords of obsidian and other swords of wood with sharp stones placed along one or two sides to form a sword.  A similar wood-stone sword existed in Central America.  There are also theories that the events in the Book Of Mormon took place in Mexico and Central America... or maybe even in South America.

Printable versions of the drawing are found under the "Religions" button up top . . . 

or the  All Printables button up top.  These are not new drawings so they will not be at the bottom of the lists.  Below is the drawing of Ammon teaching King Lamoni.  Lamoni's daughter is back somewhat behind the king.  She is frowning because Ammon did not want to marry her... or maybe she is just freaked out by the arms that Ammon cut off when the king's enemies tried to scatter the king's flocks.   So, the easiest way to get to the printable drawings is to click on the button labeled . .
