Book of Mormon Helaman 8:18
"there were many before the days of Abraham who were called by the order of God; yea, even after the order of his Son"
Book of Mormon Alma 13:2
"those priests were ordained after the order of his Son, in a manner that thereby the people might know in what manner to look forward to his Son for redemption"

Nephi restates Alma's order-of-the-Son priesthood doctrine as prophetic history -- 'after the order of his Son,' with 'many before the days of Abraham' matching Alma 13's foreordained priests 'prepared from the foundation of the world.' Alma 13:2 is the tightest single-verse end (the phrase 'after the order of his Son' verbatim at both). The Abraham-rejoiced clause (Helaman 8:17, 'Abraham saw of his coming, and was filled with gladness and did rejoice') is John 8:56-shaped; John 8:56 is in-corpus (frozen), logged only, not on page beyond the citation.
