As Nephi taught from the writings of Isaiah, he encouraged his people to "liken" the prophet's teachings unto themselves and "unto all men" (2 Nephi 11:8). Nephi regularly followed his own counsel in this regard, and so did his brother Jacob (see 1 Nephi 19:23; 2 Nephi 6:6; 11:2). ...
In this study I will follow Nephi's example and encouragement by considering how Isaiah's prophecies regarding temples and temple worship can be likened to us. In doing so, I will briefly discuss ho the prophecies may have been understood in Isaiah's day and offer suggestions of how they have been or could be likened to current Latter-day Saint understanding and practice.
