This work is a beginner's guide to the amazing labyrinth of the words of Isaiah. This work does not claim to be a "Isaiah for Dummies" kind of book. It teaches you how to search Isaiah's words for yourself using simple literary tools, and empowers you to comprehend the most important prophecy for our time by letting it speak for itself in ways hitherto unrealized. 

Dr. Avraham Gileadi's masterful scriptural exposition demonstrates how the prophecies of Isaiah interface with Mormon scriptures that teach God's servants their end-time roles of restoring the house of Israel - the Jews, Lamanites, and 10 Tribes - to God's covenants with his people Israel and to lands of inheritance.

Hitherto unseen literary evidence reveals a new dimension to Isaiah's prophecy that uses Israel's ancient history as an allegory of an end-time scenario. Isaiah's Hebrew gospel preempts the New Testament by teaching the path through which God empowers his children to ascent to the highest heaven.

Once we have received the ordinances is that enough or is more required to complete our endowment?
