The Isaiah Commandment: Isaiah 61 & 62
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2009/02/isaiah-61-62.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Isaiah 61 and 62. The Savior and Saviors of Men. States the mission of Jesus Christ. He is "to preach good tidings unto the meek," to "bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." He is also to "proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.". Bind up the brokenhearted. Christ's atonement allows God's eternal family to live together again.

The Isaiah Commandment: Isaiah 59 & 60
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2009/02/isaiah-59-60.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. Isaiah 59 and 60. Sins and Iniquities and Transgressions. I am listening to Avraham Gildeadi tonight while reading Isaiah. He mentioned that there is a difference between sin and iniquity. Sin is when we do something wrong - when we transgress God's law. We are responsible for our own sins. Iniquity, on the other hand is the effects of sin on later generations. (see Exodus 20:5. The works of the people described in Isaiah 59:5-8. Are a perfect description of our society today.

The Isaiah Commandment: January 2008
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 27, 2008. Isaiah 26 and 27. The 26th chapter of Isaiah contains some wonderful verses about trusting in the Lord and prayer. Trust in the Lord. The first verse about trusting in the Lord is found in Isaiah 26:3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." To me, this simply means that if I trust in the Lord and constantly remember and think of the Lord, then I will have true peace in my life. And what will follow if we do? Trust in the ...

The Isaiah Commandment: Isaiah 63 & 64
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2009/03/isaiah-63-64.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2009. Isaiah 63 and 64. Describe how the Savior treaded the winepress alone. This seems to have several meanings. The obvious meaning is that the Savior suffered in Gethsemane alone. He bled from every pore ( D&C 19:18. He did the work that no one else could do. Seems to be referring to as well. Many other scriptures reference the Savior treading the winepress alone, thus staining his garments red. Neal A. Maxwell talks a lot about Jesus treading the winepress alone. D&C 19:19.) T...

The Isaiah Commandment: December 2008
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. I have found a couple of new resources for studying Isaiah during the last few days. I have so much to learn. I will try to post a few of my thoughts as I study the remaining chapters. Compassion is Synonymous to Covenant. In which it links charity to compassion and covenant. Mobs Gather to Oppose Righteous. Summary of Isaiah 54 (Ludlow). Ludlow gives a nice summary of Isaiah 54 (see page 462):. 4 Material comfort (11-12). 1 Great numbers (1-3). 3 Covenant relationship (9-10).

The Isaiah Commandment: March 2009
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. Isaiah 65 and 66. Discusses two types of people - those who rebel against God and those who listen to Him. This chapter also describes what will happen to the rebellious and the faithful. The faithful will inherit the earth and all the blessings that comes with it. We learn the faithful will eat, drink, rejoice and "shall sing for joy of heart.". New Heavens and Earth. The Tenth Article of Faith. Teaches us that we believe "the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal g...

The Isaiah Commandment: Isaiah 56 & 57
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2009/01/isaiah-56-57.html
Friday, January 16, 2009. Isaiah 56 and 57. There are three spiritual topics discussed in Isaiah 56: keeping the Sabbath, the Temple and prayer. In opposition to these three pillars stand the sacraments of Satan which are discussed in Isaiah 57: immorality, idol worship and abortion. The scriptures are replete with commandments from the Lord regarding Sabbath observance. The Bible Dictionary for Sabbath. Isaiah 56:1, 4, 6. Reference the Lord's commandment to all people to keep the Sabbath pure. The templ...

The Isaiah Commandment: April 2008
http://theisaiahcommandment.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Isaiah 34 and 35. The Signs of the Times. There really isn't much to say about what Isaiah prophesies regarding the times before the Second Coming. Many other scriptures give similar prophesies. It really is amazing to read all these passages and ponder upon them. And it shall come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking forth for the great day of the Lord to come, even for the signs of the coming of the Son of Man. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled...

Wednesday, February 25, 2009. I have two more posts before I am done with Isaiah. I know this has not been the most comprehensive study of Isaiah. The fact that I will have read Isaiah and tried to understand some of it is a major accomplishment in and of itself. Isaiah 61 and 62. The Savior and Saviors of Men. I like Ludlow's chart that shows what our Lord did to fulfill his mission and what we can do to help fulfill that same mission (see page 504). Bind up the brokenhearted. Christ opened the gates to...
