2 Nephi 25
Nephi glories in plainness—Isaiah’s prophecies shall be understood in the last days—The Jews shall return from Babylon, crucify the Messiah, and be scattered and scourged—They shall be restored when they believe in the Messiah—He shall first come six hundred years after Lehi left Jerusalem—Nephites keep the law of Moses and believe in Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel. Between 559 and 545 B.C.
Now Nephi is explaining all the Isaiah chapters. He says we'll understand them in the last days. Maybe I'm just not spiritual enough, because frankly I couldn't wait to finish them. One day I hope I will enjoy Isaiah.
So, remember the story about Moses and the serpent? The people just had to have enough faith to turn their heads and look at it, and they would be saved from death. I never realized this typified Christ. We have to have faith enough to turn our lives over to him and believe. Then will be spared from spiritual death.
