Nephi continues to quote Isaiah. I have only selected a few verses from each chapter and I am reluctant to expound on the meaning of these prophecies. I highlight a few verses here and there that are more notable and recognizable to everybody. "Here am I; send me." and "To the law and to the testimony..." are two that should feel like putting on an old sweater. We know these verses. Do you know what a teil tree is? How about a gin? I had to look them up.

The first of three chapters that quote Isaiah. I highlight a bumper sticker verse, a word that is missing from the book of Isaiah and reference the fact that Nephi plainly states that the law of Moses typifies Christ. Nephi states that these words of Isaiah apply to us, to all people everywhere, not just God's ancient covenant people.

Jacob preaches a great sermon and Nephi decides to add it to his book. Several statements of Jacob are found to be "words in red". The subject of Jacob's sermon is death and hell, and the resurrection and eternal life. If you have ever wondered, "What happens when we die?" these chapters are for you.

Nephi had sisters? They get four words in chapter 4.  Beginning of the Nephite/Lamanite separation. Chapter 5 begins long quotes of Isaiah chapters 49-52ish with a few words that were missing from the Bible that add volumes of prophetic understanding. This was an exciting chapter to study.

The "Little Joseph" and the "Oh Wretched Man That I Am" chapters.  Two chapters that are remembered for their  powerful prophecies and gritty content. We read Lehi's last words to his family and his little Joseph. Chapter three is hard to read out loud because of the emotion that it is written with. As Nephi stated, "...upon these (plates), I write the things of my soul".

Lehi's last words to his sons. The opposition in all things is discussed as well as man's free will and opportunity to have joy. Bible references interspersed add great cross references to your studies and clearer understanding of the topics. At the time of this recording I had four boys, we shall see if the last comment will still be applicable  in September.
