| 0:00.0 | Hello my name is thanks. |
| 0:04.0 | My friends welcome to another episode of follow him. |
| 0:06.6 | My name is Hank Smith. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm your host. I'm here with my rejoicing co-host John by the way. John we are back in Isaiah at Follow Him. What are you looking forward to how you feeling about Isaiah so far? |
| 0:18.6 | I love this stuff. I'm excited to see where Isaiah speaks of the burden of Babylon. |
| 0:24.2 | He starts talking to different nations, not just Israel. |
| 0:27.1 | So that's going to be kind of fun. |
| 0:28.4 | And then after that, we have Nephi talking about what he just talked about which is great. |
| 0:33.4 | Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. |
| 0:35.0 | Dr. Hopkins last week made me think there's just so much this is not something to be |

| 1:14.1 | that story is really important for understanding |
| 1:17.7 | where we're going because he likens it |
| 1:20.5 | to events in the last days. Here's an invitation for us to recognize how we can better prepare |
| 1:28.2 | and learn from those that went before us. And then with Chapter 25, we get the first chapter of Nephi, prophesying and teaching |
| 1:38.0 | based on the inspiration he's had from studying these Isaiah chapters and that we can feel his application for where |
| 1:48.0 | he's thinking and that help us to reinforce if we're picking up from Isaiah what Nephi hopes we will get from him. |
