Two things. The first thing that stood out to me is that the numbers of the church of the Lamb of God are few. Few. Many are called, but few are chosen. (D&C 121)
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matt. 7:14)
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (3 Ne. 14:14)
"And yet, notwithstanding his mighty works, and miracles, and proclamation of the truth, in great power and authority, there were but few who hearkened to his voice, and rejoiced in his presence, and received salvation at his hands." (D&C 138:26)
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matt. 7:14)
"Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (3 Ne. 14:14)
"And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant; and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him, and brought other servants; and they were few." (Jacob 5:70)
"And yet, notwithstanding his mighty works, and miracles, and proclamation of the truth, in great power and authority, there were but few who hearkened to his voice, and rejoiced in his presence, and received salvation at his hands." (D&C 138:26)
Why were the numbers few? Because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon the many waters. The dominions of the Church of the Lamb of God are small.
The second thing that caught my attention was that the angel told Nephi to look, and he beheld a man in a white robe, namely John the Beloved. This reminds me of the man in the white robe who stood before Nephi's father Lehi.
