Ne 6:4 I will read you the words of Isaiah
The
Bible Dictionary states:
¡°Isaiah
is the most quoted of all the prophets, being more frequently quoted by Jesus,
Paul, Peter, and John (in his Revelation) than any other O.T. prophet. Likewise
the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants quote from Isaiah more than
from any other prophet. The Lord told the Nephites that ¡®great are the words of Isaiah,¡¯ and that all things
Isaiah spoke of the house of Israel and of the gentiles would be fulfilled (3
Ne 23:1-3).
¡°¡¦.The
reader today has no greater written commentary and guide to understanding
Isaiah than the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. As one
understands these works better he will understand Isaiah better, and as one
understands Isaiah better, he more fully comprehends the mission of the Savior,
and the meaning of the covenant that was placed upon Abraham and his seed by
which all the families of the earth would be blessed.¡±
