CHIASMS IN ISAIAH

This 70th Post accompanies Gospel Doctrine lesson 36, The Glory of Zion Will Be a Defense.

This lesson includes material from Isaiah 1-6. Compare 2 Nephi 12-16.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6.

See my collection of Chiasms in Isaiah. This collection is also used for Posts 73, 75, 77, and 79.

"I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase, mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to that counsel. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness" (Elder Marion G. Romney, Conference Report, April 1960, Afternoon Meeting 112 - 113).
