Click to Listen: Episode 9: 2 Nephi 11-15
I’ve been told that the so called Isaiah chapters are just too boring to read… well… CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Personally, I think Isaiah is hilarious, I hope you agree! Don’t forget the new game, you have to drink after every “It came to pass” and of course, “Yea”!
“Drink” Count – 8
A little over 1 Beer

Great job! You actually made Isaiah interesting!

Also, if anyone takes you up on your drinking game – Beware! “It came to pass” is in the Book of Mormon 1,296 times.

By the way, the “3 witnesses” that Nephi was talking about is Nephi prophesying of the 3 witnesses that attested that they saw the golden plates. The ones your read about in Episode 1.

Couple notes:
Anything capitalized tends to reference Jesus Christ. Zion: Jackson County, Missouri (See Doctrine and Covenants); Jerusalem: Jerusalem, Israel. An ensign is like a flag. It is carried by a flag bearer in an Army to tell people who the army represents. If you like or belong to a particular group, you would rally around that flag or ensign.
Nephi is restating parts of Isaiah’s writings (see chapter summaries). Isiah is tough because he flips between spiritual prophecy, moral commentary and political opinion sometimes within the same verse. Sometimes he address all of this at the same time using metaphors and imagery. It is hard to understand Isaiah without understanding what was going on during this time. You’re going to love it when Nephi says he loves Isaiah because it is so understandable.

Good job.
This is the place in the Book of Mormon that even the most dedicated members intent on reading the book cover to cover start to peter out. Why? Chapter 15.
When you first started I thought… wait until he gets to the Isaiah chapters. Then Jacob chapter 5 came to mind.
Good job so far. As you can see I have some catching up to do.
