3 Nephi 22 – 23When Christ told the people that Isaiah spoke on all things concerning the House of Israel I made the mistake of thinking that His command to search the words of Isaiah was more important for the descendants of the Nephites. That misconception was ended as He also said that Isaiah had…

2 Nephi 27Nephi says that the gospel will come forth in a day when the ears of the deaf shall hear and the eyes of the blind shall see. I looked up Braille and Sign Language. Sign Language has been used since as early as the 1500’s but did not really get established until 1750…

2 Nephi 21 – 24I had never connected the fact that when the Lord is decrying the state of His people one of the things He says about them is that children are their oppressors. When he is describing their time of peaceful Zion he says that a little child shall lead them. The difference…

2 Nephi 18 – 20When Isaiah said that the people “turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts” I had always thought that the Lord was “him that smiteth them.” Now I realize that the king of Assyria is “him that smiteth them” and Isaiah is saying that…

2 Nephi 15 – 17Isaiah’s call is very interesting – to speak so that the people will not hear. I also realize that Ahaz was being disobedient to not ask for a sign when Isaiah invited him to ask for a sign to prove the prophecy of Isaiah true.

2 Nephi 12 – 14The words of Isaiah have never seemed so glaringly current before. They have always seemed possible/probable, but this time they seem overtly applicable. The base man flaunts his sins and behaves himself proudly against the honorable man. Children oppress their parents and our sin is as Sodom and cannot be hid…

2 Nephi 7 – 8Even the wilderness in Zion shall be like Eden. In other words, it will be perfect and able to sustain life. It shall be sweet and beautiful when compared to life outside of Zion. I think we should remember however, that there will be wilderness times and places in Zion.

1 Nephi 20 – 21I love how the Lord says to Isaiah (as a shadow of Christ) that being a light to the 10 tribes and the Jews was a simple thing and that He would show His power by extending that light to the Gentiles so that they might be the salvation of the…

2 Nephi 27All the apparent victory of the world over the humble followers of Christ shall be hollow and shall quickly evaporate in the day of the Lord’s choosing as He comes out in judgment against the world. At that day shall all the world come to know His true nature as a God of…

2 Nephi 24The pre-millennial Babylon is not a nation so much as a way of life which will be found throughout the world. This way of life will be extolled by the devil but he will be overthrown with the downfall/abandonment of that mindset or lifestyle.
