Isaiah 52:1-2 as a Key to Understanding God’s Plan for Us (2 Nephi 6-10)
Keywords
heeding God, repeated revelation, spiritual awakening
Abstract
When God speaks, we should hearken. To hearken means to both hear and obey.
When God repeats Himself, we should hasten to hearken!
2 Nephi 8:24-25 represents one of those moments where God has repeated himself. We should hasten to hearken. These two verses are also found in Isaiah 52:1-2. And again they are repeated by Jesus Himself in 3 Nephi 20:36-37 when He visits the Nephites after His resurrection.
“Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.”
