Isaiah's themes in the Book of MormonNephi delighted in “proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ” (2 Nephi 11:4). Nephi delighted in the words of Isaiah (see 2 Nephi 11:2) Tthe words of Isaiah prove the truthfulness of the coming of Christ (see vv. 4, 6) Nephi felt that readers “may lift up their hearts and rejoice” (v. 8) because of Isaiah’s words.

2 Nephi 12:1–12
Isaiah sees the latter-day temple and the gathering of Israel.

2 Nephi 15:26–29 2 Nephi 21:12
The Lord will raise an ensign and gather Israel.

2 Nephi 16; 22
2 Nephi 25:19–30
Isaiah and Nephi testify of the Savior’s redeeming power.

2 Nephi 15:26–29; 21:12.

Isaiah prophesied that the Lord would “lift up an ensign to the nations” (2 Nephi 15:26; see also 2 Nephi 21:12). What is an ensign? (A banner or flag; a standard-bearer.) What did Isaiah say would happen when this ensign was raised? (See 2 Nephi 15:26–29.)

When the angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith, he said that chapter 11 of Isaiah (quoted in 2 Nephi 21) was about to be fulfilled (Joseph Smith—History 1:40). How is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ an ensign to all nations? (See D&C 64:41–43; 105:39; 115:4–6.)

How is the prophecy that nations will be “gather[ed] together” being fulfilled today? (See 2 Nephi 21:12. Missionaries are going throughout the world to teach the gospel and gather people to the truth.) What can each of us do to help fulfill this prophecy?
