Isaiah speaks about the Messiah. His humiliation and sufferings are described. He makes his soul an offering for sin and makes intercession for the transgressors (compare Mosiah 14.) In the last days, Zion and her stakes will be established, and Israel will be gathered in mercy and tenderness. Israel will triumph (compare 3 Nephi 22.) Come and drink; salvation is free. The Lord will make an everlasting covenant with Israel. Seek the Lord while he is near. All who keep the commandments will be exalted. Other people will join Israel. The Lord will gather others to the house of Israel. When the righteous die, they enter into peace. Mercy is promised to the penitent. There is no peace for the wicked. The true law of the fast and its blessings are defined. The commandment to keep the Sabbath is given. The people of Israel are separated from their God by iniquity. Their sins testify against them. The Messiah will intercede, come to Zion, and redeem the repentant.
