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,…

O Lucifer, son of the morning!
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…
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…
