David Bokovoy delves into Isaiah’s significance in Mormon scripture, prophecy, and current events with an emphasis on understanding biblical prophets as social critics, not predictors of distant future events. We discuss scholarly debates on Isaiah’s authorship and anachronistic references like brass plates, clarifying that the writings of Isaiah as known today did not exist in Isaiah’s time.
