Verse 12
- Remnant of Joseph. Christ addressing the Nephites here as a remnant is significant, alluding to a covenantal promise first occurring in Deut 28:54. The very nature of the word remnant suggests an act of destruction. Although the destruction referred to in Deut 28 and most other Old Testament passages occurs in relation to an enemy nation or army (e.g. Deut 28:48ff), here the most recent destruction has been occassioned by the forces of nature. However, the fact that Christ says "remnant of Jacob" suggests that he is reminding them of the larger covenantal relationship he has with them.
