taught us a great lesson about how Isaiah saw our day. Through pondering the layered meanings of his
writings, we can gain an overall understanding of how our Heavenly Father deals
with His children, and what is prepared for us in the last days. The end is foretold by events that
occurred in the beginning, the future mirroring the past. Isaiah’s literary structures, by making
archetypes of Zion and Babylon and their two kings, tell of a dramatic contest
between good and evil that will take place at the end of the world.
Bruce R
McConkie summed it up: Of all the
ancient prophets, he is the one whose recorded words preserve for us the good
news of restoration, of the gospel coming again, of the everlasting covenant
once more being established, of the kingdom being restored to Israel, of the
Lord’s triumphant return, and of a reign of millennial splendor.
