Isaiah in Second Nephi 12–24

3878

It is interesting that this week’s Come, Follow Me study is all from the Book of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, and its witness of Christ. Jacob used two chapters of Isaiah (5052:2) to teach his people about the Savior and the latter-day gathering of Isreal. Then in 2 Nephi 11, Nephi explains that he is including  “more of the words of Isaiah,” because he delights in them, likens them to his people and uses them as a third witness of Christ.

He wrote that Isaiah “saw my Redeemer, even as I have seen him. And my brother, Jacob, also has seen him as I have seen him; wherefore, I will send their words forth unto my children to prove unto them that my words are true. Wherefore, by the words of three, God hath said, I will establish my word… And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that save Christ should come all men must perish.”
