I'd like to join in, but it looks like I have a little bit of catching up to do.
On the thought of the representation of the path during Lehi's vision, I think that there are many possibilities. Personally, I like to think of it as the right path of choices. The iron rod leads from one choice to the next in a straight, narrow line. However, there are many other choices, and when your individual choices do not conform with the Word of God, you stray from the path. To me, the iron rod represents the guidance we have, and the path represents the choices we should make.
