Alma 48:15 And this was their faith, that by so doing God would prosper them in the land, or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God that he would prosper them in the land; yea, warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger;
So as long as the people stayed faithful to the commandments of the Lord, He instructed them on how to deal with their enemies - whether to flee or prepare for war.
Since my life (happily) does not involve war, I'm wondering how to liken this scripture to my life. There are times this scripture can give us good guidance in our modern struggles. Sometimes the Lord will tell us to flee a situation, or stay and battle against evil. Each situation is different, and each person may be instructed differently, and the only way we can know for ourselves is by inspiration from the Lord.
