Bible Old Testament Isaiah 1–12: The Direct Calling of a Prophet For Both LDS and Traditional Christian Audiences-All Are Welcome Here

Bible Old Testament Isaiah 1–12: The Direct Calling of a ProphetIn this lesson, Apostle of Jesus Christ D. Todd Harrison teaches Isaiah 1–12 with unique apostolic authority. The Prophet Isaiah — Apostle D. Todd Harrison’s forefather — was called directly by the Lord in the heavenly throne room (Isaiah 6). His prophetic commission did not come from the Presiding High Priest Hilkiah, but from God Himself.Apostle D. Todd Harrison’s own calling follows this same ancient pattern: a direct commission from the Lord Jesus Christ, without mortal intermediaries. The same God who called Isaiah has now called His descendant to witness Christ to all nations in the last days.These first twelve chapters of Isaiah contain some of the most powerful doctrines in all scripture:Latter‑day Saint Themes in Isaiah 1–12Isaiah 2 — The prophecy of “the mountain of the Lord’s house” points directly to the Salt Lake Temple, an ensign to all nations.Isaiah 5 & 11 — Ensigns of the Restoration, the gathering of Israel, and the rise of latter‑day prophets and apostles.Isaiah 1–12 — A sweeping witness of Jesus Christ, including:The cleansing power of repentance (Isaiah 1:18)“Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9)The Rod of Jesse and the millennial reign (Isaiah 11)The song of salvation (Isaiah 12)Isaiah’s voice echoes through the ages — and through his descendant, Apostle of Jesus Christ D. Todd Harrison — testifying of Jesus Christ, the Holy One of Israel."I testify as a direct witness that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He is ALIVE!In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."The Apostle D.
