Isaiah was an advisor to several kings and lived about 100 years before Nephi. Micah, Amos, and Hosea are contemporaries of Isaiah. 10:55 – Jesus quoted Isaiah and encouraged the Nephites to study his words. Isaiah was the most quoted prophet among the New Testament authors, and his works were important to the Qumran community. 13:06 – Ways to enhance your study of Isaiah. 20:32 – A brief overview of the book of Isaiah. 23:17 – A brief overview of chapters 1-12. 25:38 – The Israelites are described as apostate and rebellious. The Lord asks that they “reason together,” saying that “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” 32:01 – Isaiah uses metals as a metaphor for people. When he describes the silver as dross, this could carry different meanings. Isaiah stresses that “a remnant will return.” Isaiah 1 reflects the destruction enacted by the Assyrians. 40:16 – Isaiah sees the future latter-day temple in the tops of the mountains. The temple established in Jerusalem represents the millennial hope of peace. He prophesies that the idols people worship will be cast into caves, to the moles and the bats. 45:50 – The daughters of Zion are cursed and tormented for their worldliness. Isaiah discusses three missing objects: the staff, clothing, and the bread.

The King of Assyria is going to be destroyed, just as he destroyed other nations. 1:37:05 – The procession of Assyria’s forces approaching Jerusalem is illustrated. The remnant of Jacob will return in the last days. 1:40:06 – Isaiah sees a tree cut down, leaving only a stump. Though this tree seems dead, Isaiah sees that it will come back to life and a new tree will grow out of the stump. The prophet Joseph Smith has a prominent role in the rebuilding of the tree. 1:43:10 – Isaiah sees that peace and order will be restored in the millennial day and that broken things will be healed. ➡ Bryce Dunford's Website: brotherdunford.org/ ➡ Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-scripture/id1481923946 ➡ Google Podcasts: podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5sZHNzY3JpcHR1cmV0ZWFjaGluZ3Mub3JnL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC8 ➡ Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/talking-scripture?refid=stpr ➡ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/29SzZOUi9PHoa3f6Sy4zur?si=NECQi0kLSOuSTN-DOcwhUw ➡ Facebook: www.facebook.com/TalkingScripturePodcast/
