Isaiah was looked upon by the people in Nephi's day in much the same way Latter-day Saints view Joseph Smith today. Here is a chart showing the Northern and Southern Kingdom Kings and Prophets at the time of Isaiah.
I apologize for the poor quality of the two images above. I created them more than thirty years ago and no longer have the original Excel spreadsheet they came from. Even worse, I'm too lazy to try to create them from scratch. If you open them in separate windows you should be able to read them. My bad. Mea culpa. And all that.
"I want to address myself to the men holding the priesthood, particularly, and to their wives and to all other members of the Church. No member of this Church can stand approved in the presence of God who has not seriously and carefully read the Book of Mormon, and I think I could add to that also, as far as our brethren are concerned, the Doctrine and Covenants... It seems to me that a member of this Church would not be able to rest in peace and comfort and have a clear conscience without having knowledge by study and by faith of the standard works of the Church. These records are priceless. The world mocks at them, but through their teachings we are permitted to come nearer unto God, get a better understanding of our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ, become closer acquainted with them and to know more in regard to the wonderful plan of salvation which they have given unto us and unto the world if it will receive the plan that will exalt us in the kingdom of God to become his sons and his daughters, receiving the fulness of that kingdom." (President Joseph Fielding Smith, Conference Report, October 1961, Afternoon Meeting, 18-19).
