1 Nephi 20 – 22
For some reason in the last few weeks I have been almost addicted to the words of Isaiah.
Calling themselves of the Holy City but not staying themselves upon the God of Israel is like a church that is called “The Church of Christ” but is not built upon His doctrine.
“The children thou shalt have after thou hast lost the first. . .” this is a reference to the promise to Abraham that he would be the father of nations and that all the people of the Earth would be blessed because of his covenant. Israel shall lose many generations of his direct posterity but so many more of the Gentiles will look to him as their father that it shall far exceed those of his own children who are the first that he shall have lost.
