Hello my name is thanks.

My friends welcome to another episode of follow him.

My name is Hank Smith.

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?

I love this stuff. I'm excited to see where Isaiah speaks of the burden of Babylon.

He starts talking to different nations, not just Israel.

So that's going to be kind of fun.

And then after that, we have Nephi talking about what he just talked about which is great.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Dr. Hopkins last week made me think there's just so much this is not something to be

skipped.

John today we are joined by our good friend, Dr. Camille Frank Olson.

Camille, what are we looking forward to today as we go through what, Second

Nephi 20 through 25? Yes, thank you. This is an exciting part of the Isaiah chapters in the Book of

Mormon. We'll do the last four of those chapters in this big bulk, which as you mentioned talks about Babylon and Assyria

events that happened before Nephi and just after Nephi was in Jerusalem,

that story is really important for understanding

where we're going because he likens it

to events in the last days. Here's an invitation for us to recognize how we can better prepare

and learn from those that went before us. And then with Chapter 25, we get the first chapter of Nephi, prophesying and teaching

based on the inspiration he's had from studying these Isaiah chapters and that we can feel his application for where

he's thinking and that help us to reinforce if we're picking up from Isaiah what Nephi hopes we will get from him.
