Abinadi enters the scene like an old west Sheriff or as the Texas ranger with a 'Big Iron on His Hip' from the Marty Robbins song. I envision him in similar fashion as the character of Wyatt Earp: legendary lawman as portrayed by Kurt Russel in the movie Tombstone. "You called down the thunder? Well, now you got it!" He strolls into town and confronts King Noah with absolute authority; such that can't he be touched and he will not allow himself to be interrupted until he is finished speaking the decrees of God.
