And the Lord warned Omer in a dream that he should depart out of the land; wherefore Omer departed out of the land with his family, and traveled many days, and came over and passed by the hill of Shim, and came over by the place where the Nephites were destroyed, and from thence eastward, and came to a place which was called Ablom, by the seashore, and there he pitched his tent, and also his sons and his daughters, and all his household, save it were Jared and his family.
Sometimes we stand and fight, and sometimes we run. The Lord will give us the right strategy. He told Lehi to flee, Captain Moroni to fight, and Lachoneus to hunker down. For now we are to stay in our homes, resist evil, and do our best to recognize and expose secret combinations. The day may come for us, however, when, like Omer, we will need to flee to escape the secret combinations that have gotten above us. Time will tell. The important thing is to watch the prophet.
