“Hear me, O isles; listen, you distant peoples: Jehovah called me before I was in the belly; before I was in my mother’s womb, he mentioned me by name. He has made my mouth like a sharp sword—in the shadow of his hand he hid me. He has made me into a polished arrow—in his […]

“How the faithful city has become a harlot! She was filled with justice; righteousness made its abode in her, but now murderers” (Isaiah 1:21). “The vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel and the people of Judah his cherished grove. He expected justice, but there was injustice; [he expected] righteousness, but there

Isaiah wrote for “the end-time”; that is, the end of the world. His prophecy describes an end-time scenario that heralds the coming of the Lord: “Go now, write on tablets concerning them; record it in a book for the end-time” (Isaiah 30:8). Not until the end-time will people understand the prophecies of Isaiah: “In the

How is it that Latter-day Saints who have been given the key of knowledge of the end-time in the prophecies of Isaiah do not feel compelled to SEARCH them for themselves as their Savior has commanded but instead leave that up to the “wise and learned”—the academics of our day who “illuminate with mere sparks”

“Hear me, O house of Jacob, and all you remnant of the house of Israel, who have been a load on me since birth, borne up by me from the womb: Even to your old age, I am present; till you turn grey, it is I who sustain you. It is I who made you,

“Go now, write on tablets concerning them; record it in a book for the end-time, as a testimony forever” (Isaiah 30:8). “Behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things.

“Procrastinate, and become bewildered; preoccupy yourselves, until you cry for help. Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink. Jehovah has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep: he has shut your eyes, the prophets; he has covered your heads, the seers.” (Isaiah 29:9–10) “Jehovah will cut off from

Considering the kinds of decisions people in power are currently making that make reason stare, one may indeed wonder whether these persons are totally ignorant or just plain evil. Not only that, but the question arises of how to respond to a leadership that seems hell bent to destroy the very fabric of civilization and

Just as there exist seven identifiable spiritual categories of people in the Book of Isaiah, so they exist on the earth in any age of the world. That includes among Latter-day Saints. Called “the Gentiles” in the Book of Mormon, or “the fulness of the Gentiles” (melo’ hagoyim; Genesis 48:19), these largely consist of assimilated

People who are spoken of in the scriptures as being “highly favored of the Lord” indeed saw and heard extraordinary things and were exceedingly blessed of God. One of these is Nephi: “Having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries

Just as the Jews taught their fables that “turn from the truth” (Titus 1:14), so, Paul warns, “The time will come when they [God’s end-time people] will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth,

“Hark! A tumult on the mountains, as of a vast multitude. Hark! An uproar among kingdoms, as of nations assembling: Jehovah of Hosts is marshaling an army for war. They come from a distant land beyond the horizon—Jehovah and the instruments of his wrath—to cause destruction throughout the earth” (Isaiah 13:4–5). “Hail the Assyrian, the
