The Savior had just finished teaching about the scattering and gathering of Israel. “In spite of their [spiritual] preparation they were not taught all of the doctrine of the gathering until the second day. … The gathering of Israel is a profound doctrine filled with implications about God, his plan, and our place in it. It reminds members of the kingdom of God that they are a covenant people and implies that they will be saved only by keeping those covenants” (Hansen, “Gathering to the Temple,” 212). Therefore, the Savior did not give the Nephites all of this information at one time.
