I had a Book of Mormon teacher tell me that Jacob tells us
the key to understanding Isaiah is to liken it unto ourselves, because we too
are of the house of Israel. But I tend to view that the way I was telling Omar
I used to view everything in the Church, interesting academically, but removed
and not personal to me. I will try to make it personal as I read through this 2
Nephi Isaiah and pray that the Lord's Spirit will help me do so.
"They shall not be ashamed that wait for me." seems like such a powerful statement in this day and age, when on every hand there are those who mock our believes and try to make us literally ashamed. What a comforting promise. I can see why people can't wait for the second coming. And yet later when he talks about the destruction of the enemies, my heart trembles, and I hate the thought of anyone being destroyed. I've never experienced that before.
