[Manner of Prophesying Among the Jews]

Concerning the words of Isaiah, Nephi admits that his people (the Nephites) were not well versed in the "manner of prophesying among the Jews", and that many of the prophesies (especially the words of Isaiah) were difficult for people to understand unless they were taught this "manner of prophesying" (2 Ne. 25:1-6). Nephi wrote:

Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah, for I came out from Jerusalem, and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews, and I know that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets, and there is none other people that understand the things which were spoken unto the Jews like unto them, save it be that they are taught after the manner of the things of the Jews. (2 Ne. 25:5)

I think this is partly why I am so fond of this forum, and the hours that thekabalist has devoted to his commentary here. I see this as an opportunity for us to increase our understanding about the manner of prophesying among the Jews, while we can. I think I speak for most visitors of this forum in expressing my heartfelt gratitude for his contributions.

Sincerely,

Hi there - I'm also Jewish and very involved in the study of Kabbalah. My sister has embraced the Mormon Faith so I'm interested in better understanding its precepts.

I've posted here because I've spent the last few days posting quite a bit about Isaiah in relationship to some terraformed images I've found in the Arizona area that speak to Isaiah 11:6. I would be very interested in getting some perspective from thekabalist on this as well as others who have knowledge concerning the emergence of Zion here in the United States.
