Mine Errand from the Lord
Post by Jacob – Before Nephi’s death, at his hand, my brother Joseph and I were consecrated priests and teachers of this people. We are magnifying our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we do not teach them the word of…
Grace of the Holy Messiah
Post of Jacob – We appreciate the kind words from so many about my dear brother Nephi. I have been commanded to continue Nephi’s blog, and in pondering the words of my father Lehi to me just prior to Lehi’s death, I feel it necessary to continue this blog to fulfill Nephi’s command and to…

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…
