In these verses the visions of the two continents are once again tied together, this time on the presence of the twelve apostles. Nephi is reminded of the original twelve from the vision, and shown the twelve in the New World. For Nephi, this would immediately make the connection between the two, with the presumptions of power and authority from the original twelve imputed to the twelve of the New World. Recalling, however, that there is no clear indication of where Nephi's seed might be, Nephi could only assume (presuming that he did not have previous prophetic knowledge of their ultimate destination in the New World) that his people would not be in the same location as where the Savior would be born and would live to call the first twelve.
