Jacob calls for the covenant. The Nephites are to reconcile themselves to God, and choose eternal life. Implicit in the reconciliation (based upon the text and presentation of the theme of salvation by the Gentiles) is also the acceptance of their current circumstances and a determination to follow the Lord's cause. In the sociological situation that is most likely, that would mean accepting the Gentiles in their midst within the covenant and as a fulfillment of prophecy. It would mean cleaving to the Lord's definitions for their freedom rather than following after outside Gentile Kings. Jacob's is a call both to come to God and to community.
