Post by Nephi – Lets get back to Isaiah. The kingdom of Judah had been in existence for about 200 years when Isaiah, who was a resident of this southern kingdom, wrote about the mountain of the Lord’s house being established in the top of the mountains, to be exalted above the hills, and all…
Many witnesses of Christ
Post by Nephi – I appreciate the writings of my brother Jacob. Who would have thought my little baby brother, born in the wilderness, could grow up so firm in his testimony of our Savior. In fact Jacob has seen our Savior. Now I am going to write more of the writings of Isaiah because…
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…

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…

Post by Nephi – After so many years of contention, broken up by only brief stints of harmony, we finally have our destiny in our own hands. Free from the hatred of my brothers, we have proven the Lord’s promises. We now observe to keep the judgments, the statutes and commandments of the Lord, according…
