You have to look at the chapter 15 from the perspective of the Nephites.
They have been keeping the law of Moses which included such things as the
law of sacrifice which was symbolic of the atonement and crucifixion.
Evidently, not all of them understand why they wouldn't continue to keep the
law of Moses, especially the law of sacrifice. So the Lord explains that
all of that was given, and to be done, in anticipation of his coming. Now
that he has completed the ultimate sacrifice, it's no longer necessary to
continue sacrificing animals and the other connected rituals as this would
have no effect. In view of this, they wonder if everything has been
fulfilled, but the Savior explains that there is much yet to happen that has
been prophesied.
