2 Nephi 25: 8

"Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men, and he that supposeth that they are not, unto them will I speak particularly, and confine the words unto mine own people; for I know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last days; for in that day shall they understand them; wherefore, for their good have I written them. -2 Nephi 25: 8

Nephi't feelings toward Isaiah were probably equal to our feelings for Joseph Smith. Isaiah, who preached from 740-700 B.C., wasn't very far away from Nephi's time. We owe it to Nephi to read the words of Isaiah, especially because he considers them to be some of the most sacred parts of the Book of Mormon. I know his words are hard. Trust me, I am being tested on them this afternoon, but with God's help nothing is impossible, If God can part the Red Sea, make mountains move, and create this world, he can help you understand Isaiah. You just have to ask.
