“After the Gentiles Had Received the Fulness of the Gospel”
During the meridian dispensation as indicated, the gospel went preferentially to the Jews first and to the Gentiles second. in the final dispensation the order would be reversed. Note again that to the Nephites, Jews were nationals, persons from the kingdom of Judah. in this sense, the Nephites and Lamanites-though genealogically of the tribe of Joseph-were Jews (see 2 Nephi 30:4; 2 Nephi 33:8). Gentiles were all other peoples, including those who were of the house of load but who would be found among other nations on earth.
