Exegesis
[edit]
Verse 1
If the great majority of this discourse discusses the intertwining roles of Israel, the Gentiles, and the Jews, here a new element is introduced that permeates the whole interplay of tribes and peoples: the Book of Mormon. However, the role this book of scripture plays is somewhat peculiar: it is offered here as "a sign" of the unfolding history of the covenant (as opposed, at least for now, to being a mover, a key, a means of conversion, etc.). The Book of Mormon is a sign in terms of the Abrahamic covenant.

- "This doctrine of the gathering is one of the important teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints... We not only teach this doctrine, but we participate in it... The Book of Mormon is central to this work. It declares the doctrine of the gathering. It causes people to learn about Jesus Christ, to believe His gospel, and to join His Church. In fact, if there were no Book of Mormon, the promised gathering of Israel would not occur."
