Day 136

Isaiah 48; Isaiah 49; Isaiah 50; Isaiah 51; Isaiah 52

The Lord reveals his purposes to Israel. Israel has been chosen in the furnace of affliction and is to depart from Babylon. The Messiah will be a light to the Gentiles and will free the prisoners. Israel will be gathered with power in the last days. Kings will be the nursing fathers of Israel. Isaiah speaks as the Messiah. He will have the tongue of the learned. He will give his back to the smiters. He will not be confounded. In the last days, the Lord will comfort Zion and gather Israel. The redeemed will come to Zion amid great joy. In the last days, Zion will return, and Israel will be redeemed. The Messiah will deal prudently and be exalted. Compare 1 Nephi 20-21 and 2 Nephi 7-8
