Given the heavenly restrictions under which Isaiah operated, his message was deliberately obscure, much like the Savior, Who spoke in parables. Isaiah cloaked his message so only those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, can.
Why does the Lord restrict access to truth and gospel principles to His children? For the same reason disciplinary courts are benevolent acts of charity. Knowledge and priesthood authority without the requisite understanding puts the holder under greater condemnation for misuse.
Knowing the importance of studying Isaiah (I’m particularly thinking of Christ’s declaration in 3rd Nephi), I’m curious to hear what you & other Gospel Knol readers would recommend as far as Isaiah study companion books. Also, anyone who cares to give a recommendation, would you also be kind enough to give a reason why? Thanks in advance!
