The Scriptures Are Real

To join the exciting, once in a lifetime Missouri Workshop, email thescripturesarereal@gmail.comRabbi Joe Charnes and Kerry delve into some of the prophecies of Isaiah that are contained in the Book of Mormon. To begin with we discuss what it means to be a prophet in terms of Judaism and Latter-day Saints, and how that ties into our understanding of Isaiah's prophecies. We delve into the meaning of the words used for prophets, and how prophets convey God's word, whether the world likes the message or not. We also explore how seeing prophecies of justice coming upon people should be painful for us in some ways. We discuss Isaiah's teachings about ending oppression. We investigate how we can find hope in the times that God cuts us down. This discussion stems from the Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 11 (2 Nephi 21) and how the Assyrias of life can cut us down, but new life and Messianic hope can sprout from there. We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and our producer, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

They delve into the context of the sermon and how Jacob used Isaiah in the sermon and how it addressed what was happening in their lives at the time, and how Christ and Covenant were the answer. They speak of Jacob's exploration of his people's covenant relationship with God, and what that has to do with us. They also explore how the theme of not being cast off from God and that covenant relationship with Him is much of the theme of 2 Nephi. They speak of the infinite power of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what that has to do with the Nephite need at the time and our need in our day. They show how Jacob teaches about how to take advantage of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what makes it difficult for us to do so.
