0:00.0 | Hello there. I'm Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:07.0 | Today, 2Nephy chapters 11 through 19. This is the first half or a little more than half of the big Isaiah block of chapters |
0:19.0 | that we cover in the Book Mormon, that often people come to and then |
0:23.5 | stop, either skip and jump ahead or stop reading altogether and then start over in First |
0:30.4 | Nephi down the road. |
0:34.0 | Our goal today is to give you some tools, some principles and practices that you can use to make it so that when you come to the Isaiah passages, you can get excited instead of shying away from them. |
0:47.2 | The biggest factor is to put on Hebrew symbolism lenses, to take off the Greek literal lenses that we often live our lives, |
1:01.0 | seeing everything through those literal lenses, and put on instead these symbolic lenses. |
1:09.0 | And looking for layer upon layer upon layer of symbolic meaning |
1:15.6 | and not missing the bottom line, the main point of Isaiah's symbols, which are always going to be rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ. |
1:25.6 | Remember it was back in 1st Nephi 1923 when Nephi had been reading |

1:43.6 | Isaiah. And he did that, that he could more fully persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer. |
1:52.0 | So Isaiah is a Hebrew poet. He's a Hebrew prophet living in the kingdom of Judah, a hundred years plus before Lehi and |
2:03.0 | Nephi leave Jerusalem. |
2:05.7 | And so he's telling a story of what's happening in his day and his age, but as a seer, |
2:13.0 | he sees things past, present, in his own day and future, and all things that he writes are |
2:19.8 | going to point forward to Jesus Christ. So one of the biggest lenses to keep in mind is |
2:27.3 | keep the Savior as the main focal point when reading Isaiah. The other lens is to keep you and your world in focus |
2:41.3 | and to bring those two together to find greater depth as well as breadth and meaning in life. |
2:49.7 | So let's jump in to chapter 11 and see the reasons why |
