Notes
Context of 2nd Nephi: Jerusalem has been destroyed. Nephi's writings are all about the covenant.
Christians of Joseph's time saw old covenant (emphasizing obedience to the law) vs new covenant (emphasis on grace) as very distinct. The Book of Mormon collapsed these into one everlasting covenant.

After destruction of Jerusalem, Lehi "immediately acts to recalibrate his family's understanding & expectations with regard to their place in the covenant." Nephites driven out multiple times. Zion is not dependent on place - change focus from promised place to promised people. We follow the same covenant path that Nephi outlined for his people. Make our knowledge of Christ & his atonement personal & experiential.
