The words of Isaiah . . . are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them (3 Nephi 20:11).
Ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah (3 Nephi 23:1).
"The Importance of Isaiah’s Writings"
"Isaiah’s name means “Jehovah saves” or “the Lord is salvation.” His life and teachings proclaim the message of Christ and the way of salvation Christ provided. John wrote that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). Using that statement as a criteria to evaluate, we must classify Isaiah among the greatest of the prophets, because he powerfully and eloquently testified of Christ and His work.
The Savior Himself affirmed the importance of Isaiah’s writings when, in His visit to the Nephites, He commanded them to search diligently the words of Isaiah (see 3 Nephi 20:11). The Lord said, “Great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel” (3 Nephi 23:1–2). The words Jacob spoke to his people can also be applied to us. Jacob said, “There are many things which have been spoken by Isaiah which may be likened unto you, because ye are of the house of Israel” (2 Nephi 6:5). We also are of the house of Israel."

The older I get, and the more I expose myself to the words of Isaiah - the more his teachings are making sense to me. Isn't that interesting, because we are told that when "these" things are happening - will will understand his words.

I think it's exciting that we ourselves are a part of his prophecies coming true! No wonder we are told to study his words! Thanks also for following my blog. I would love to see thousands of blogs like ours out there touching people everyday!
