Q

What does the Book of Isaiah teach us about Jesus Christ?
What does the Book of Isaiah teach us about God’s relationship with man?
In what ways does Isaiah give us a foundation or better understanding of the restored Gospel and the other standard works?
How can we apply the teachings of Isaiah to our own lives?

A

Hint: Be able to give 5 specific examples (with reference to passages, stories, prophecies, etc, from Isaiah) in response to each of these questions. It is very important that you are prepared to give specific examples in your answers—not just general comments (like “we need to have faith, or repent”). If you want to talk about repentance for example, you need to give specific examples of how this was taught in Isaiah through a story, prophecy, poetry, or refer to a specific passage (you don’t need to memorize it, but be able to paraphrase it and explain it).

Q

reasons Ludlow gives for identifying the “servant” who is speaking in Isaiah 49: 1-6

A
  • Ephraim is chosen because the house of Ephraim is responsible for the gathering and salvation of Israel in the latter days.
  • He is selected before birth: Elder McConkie stated that Israelites were foreordained.
  • He is hidden in the Lord’s hand
  • He is like a polished shaft: Israel prepared by the Lord
  • He sometimes feels that he has labored in vain: Israel’s discouragement
  • He will be involved with the gathering of Israel: Ephraim’s responsibility
