Jesus declares that he is returning to the Father, and also to “show myself unto the lost tribes of Israel.” This statement must follow from the discussion with the apostles, and suggests that while the information was directed to the twelve, it was in a public place where the population overheard the instructions about the other sheep. Thus this becomes a promise to fulfill yet another promise to yet another people. Given the time logistics, if this were the end of the day and he intended to visit another people, they would necessarily be on the other side of the world where it would be light when it was night among the Nephites. However, this promise to visit the other people was a sacred promise, and not necessarily one that had to be fulfilled that night. It would be fulfilled, in God’s time. For the Nephites it was simply important to understand that Jesus intended to keep that promise to fellow “other sheep.”
