Post by Jacob – I know Nephi has shared a great deal of Isaiah’s writings in his blogs and it seems that the words of Isaiah repeat themselves as they foretell gatherings, apostasies, rebellions, scatterings, destructions, restorations and gatherings, both in ancient times and future times. As Nephi is about to share with you more of Isaiah’s writings,…

For unto us a child is born.
Post by Jacob – I wanted to share one of Isaiah’s writings that consists of a messianic prophecy that talks about Jesus Christ and His mortal ministry and His kingship. I appreciate Nephi letting me make this post. The lands of Zebulun and Naphtali are pivotal in the various political struggles that have and will…
Christ shall be His name
Post by Jacob – We know that many of our posterity will parish in the flesh because of unbelief, however God will be merciful to many others and they will be restored again to that which will bring them to the true knowledge of their Redeemer. Let me tell you a bit about Him. Let…
What does gathering have to do with me?
Post by Jacob – I’ve shared some of the writings of Isaiah so you can understand the covenants made by the Lord with the house of Israel. Consider a covenant as a promise or contract and the ordinances that we preform as the signature on that contract. I can’t imagine however that with all the…
Great promises await Israel in the last days
Post by Jacob – As I continue studying Isaiah’s writings, it is very clear that in the last days the Lord’s covenants will be fulfilled. Latter-day people will find hope and happiness in the promises He has made to bring an end to the fallen condition of the earth. He will renew the earth and…
Transgression is the cause of estrangement
Post by Jacob – It is a little awkward to try to share what I am learning from Isaiah’s writing without including some of his actual writings so you can compare what I think he is saying to what you learn as you read his actual words. Therefore I came to the conclusion to tell…
Why we include Isaiah’s prophesies.
Post by Jacob – I am pretty sure I won’t be the only contributor to this blog who will quote Isaiah’s writings. There is so much that he spoke, prophesied, wrote and taught. I wouldn’t be surprised if other prophets from other dispensations in other lands will also quote Isaiah. The reason for Isaiah’s popularity…
The welfare of your souls
Post by Jacob – By now you know me, I’m the older of Nephi’s two younger brothers. I think it may help for you to know why I am becoming more involved in Nephi’s blog. The Holy Priesthood of God is not something we take upon ourselves. Those who will act in the name of…
Opposition – key to God’s purposes.
Post by Jacob – My father Lehi has taught our family the doctrines of salvation as long as anyone can remember. Nephi has elaborated or clarified those doctrines all along the way. Yet now it seems my turn to talk a little about a doctrine that seems fundamental to the Savior’s plan of salvation. My…
We are taught sufficiently.
Post by Jacob – Nephi referred to my older brothers acting with “much rudeness” when we were on the ship. I would like to comment on that experience. Nephi needed a better word than rude. Rude doesn’t even come close to describe their behavior. I don’t remember with great detail because I was so young,…
