Yesterday, I had a free moment to read my scriptures before sacrament meeting started. I read this verse in which Nephi explains why Isaiah's writtings are so important to us.
...In the last days...the prophecies of Isaiah shall be fulfilled...Wherefore, they are of great worth unto the children of men, and he that supposeth that they are not (me ocassionally), unto them I speak particularly...I know they shall be of great worth unto them(us) in the last days...wherefore for their good I have written them. (2Nephi 25:7-8)
I was humbled when I read these verses and I realized more fully the importance of Isaiah's words. They are there for our benefit and if I take the time to understand them, "it will be of great worth" unto me!

I was wondering about the Isaiah chapters as I ead through them again. Then it hit me that the chapters quoted prophesied of the coming of Christ. So when people like Korihor came along who said there would be no Christ, Alma could point to those scriptures.
Isaiah seems to speak in such a way that you really have to be ready to hear his message before you can understand it. A few times, I have really had flashes of understanding and insight but I am not yet to the point where I look forward to those chapters!
