Post by Nephi – As you know, our family was commanded to leave Jerusalem, which, as you read in previous posts, was very challenging. Today as I am sharing with you many of the writings of Isaiah, as I study them in the Plates of Brass we took from Laban, his prophecies are in various…

I will be merciful unto my people, but the wicked shall perish.
Post by Nephi – Hopefully you will take the time to find Isaiah’s writings and study them word for word. As I continue to do so myself, I am moved by his understanding of his near future as well as the far distant future of the latter-days. As Isaiah prophesied about Babylon, his vision, consisting…
Jehovah will dwell among His people.
Post by Nephi – In my last post I showed how Isaiah prophesied of the great blessings to be poured out in a latter-day. I love these prophesies of Isaiah because as opposed to destruction and wrath we read of great promises. Almost as a continuation of that prophesy, Isaiah continues saying that in that…
The Stem of Jesse is Christ
Post by Nephi – Whereas Isaiah has been pretty clear in warning the children of Israel of multiple destructions to be poured out upon them due to their rebellions, I rejoice in this section of his writings wherein he foretells a great restoration and eventual reign of our Savior Himself on the earth. How glorious a prophecy….
Shall the ax boast of itself?
Post by Nephi – As the writings of Isaiah continue, he again delivers a prophecy that has multiple references. The first of which we have certainly seen fulfilled, maybe even twice. The second fulfillment – the one that is important to you who are reading this blog – is the one I want to dwell…
We should trust in the Lord
Post by Nephi – As I mentioned in the previous post, God sent Isaiah to Ahaz to warn him against the alliance with Syria and Israel against Assyria because in a short time Assyria would destroy both Syria and Israel. And if you remember Isaiah gave the sign of Immanuel as I discussed. Another sign…
Isaiah continues to warn Ahaz.
Post by Nephi – As the writings of Isaiah continue in the plates of brass, he makes an interesting prophecy that again I believe is a type of Christ. As you probably know Israel and Judah became independent kingdoms after the reign of Solomon. Pekah, the king of Israel was also called Ephraim. He had…
I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne.
Post by Nephi – Earlier, I identified three witnesses who had seen the Savior Himself, one was myself, one my brother Jacob and the third, Isaiah. In this blog, I wish to relate the story of Isaiah’s call to be a prophet in the which he saw our Redeemer. About 140 years before our family…
Wo unto those who call good evil and evil good.
Post by Nephi – Isaiah again repeats his pattern of prophecy, that of apostasy, judgment, and restoration. This time he uses a powerful metaphor of Jehovah as a nurturing husbandman, caring for his crop, Israel. Jehovah is referred to as “My Well Beloved” and Isaiah illustrates His efforts to raise a covenant people and the…
Seven women for one man?
Post by Nephi – In some future day you too will be able to actually read the writings of Isaiah just as I do today. You will read of Isaiah’s prophecies of impending destruction of to proud. Their pride has been and will be the main element in the Jews rejection of the Messiah and…
