Join us as we study the exchange of scripture and insights between King Noah's priests and Abinadi in Mosiah 12:19-30. We consider why the priests selected that specific passage from Isaiah and reflect on why understanding is an important part of receiving knowledge. 

Book of Mormon Central: In ancient Israelite law, a “false prophet” was not simply someone whose prophecy did not come true—something too difficult, if not impossible to prove. Anyone who spoke in contradiction to the word of previously accepted prophets could also be deemed a false prophet. As such, there must have been a commonly accepted interpretation of Isaiah 52:7–10 which they believed would expose Abinadi as a false prophet. Abinadi had come among the people warning of the consequences of sin and riotous living (Mosiah 12:1–12), and his message was the polar opposite of the “glad tidings” Isaiah said would be the message of a true prophet (Mosiah 12:21; Isaiah 52:7).
