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…
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…
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…
Daughters of Zion?
Post by Nephi – As I continue reading the writings of Isaiah, I am very interested in this next prophecy. I personally witnessed most of it take place. Its conclusion I saw in vision. I witness it was fulfilled just as over a hundred years ago, Isaiah said it would be. Many of Isaiah’s prophecies…
