This really is just a sketch, but it puts a lot out there. As I read I could see these ideas in the Book of Mormon. It was like I had a sense of their presence from my studies, but had never drawn the big connections. I hope you and others pursue their explication further.

Thank you for ideas to think about as I study the Book of Mormon again.
