GREAT ARE THE WORDS OF ISAIAH - THE ISAIAH INSTITUTE HITS THIS OUT OF THE BALLPARK

I am compelled by my wife to state that the "God hates gays" sign is not accurate - and she is right. He does not (nor do I) hate them as individuals, but I surely HATE their agenda which is to destroy the nuclear family and anything that defines the role of men/women in society. It is full on assault on all of this right now. And they will attempt to crush you if you believe or act in defiance of their agenda. Sheesh - we need more bolstering of the basic roles, not any more diminishing of those roles. God creates, satan destroys. God is life, the devil is death and destruction. God builds, satan tears down (entropy).

Here is the link:

There are apparently a ton of other links to vignettes on the Isaiah page:

Check these out. I highly recommend.

We need to bolster marriage, not tear it down. The wicked and perverse will be swept from the face of this earth.

If you read Isaiah seeking to learn and prayerfully, you cannot miss this. If you have read the Book of Mormon, Nephi, Moroni, Samual the Lamanite, and our Savior himself, Jesus Christ lauds Isaiah's words. Jesus says, "Study the words of Isaiah, for great are the words of Isaiah." And he says to do that is a commandment he gives unto us. We are commanded by the son of God to study the words of Isaiah. And who has challenged us to read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover specifically? President Hinckley challenged us to read it by a specific date, so did President Monson, and President Nelson asked us sisters read it by a certain date as well. We really have no excuses. The first time I read Isaiah beginning to end, I used only my interpretation and the footnotes in the scriptures. Wow! As limited as my understanding was, I got a lot out of it.

There are other helps you can buy, but the one so far that has helped me the most (and is free)is someone who was a convert to the Jewish faith and learned their history, geography, and the manner of the Jews. Then he was converted to Jesus Christ as he learned about the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Translation from direct Hebrew to English has personally helped me to understand a little more than the King James translation, although that first time I read the Spirit taught me so much for being as ignorant as I was.

I feel Isaiah is like a code, and I am trying to unlock it....

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
