[@nancydenney9971]

Words cannot express my gratitude for the 4 year gift you have given so freely to the Unshaken Community. I pray frequently that God will surround you in His power, glory and might and protect you in this monumental journey you are leading us through in this part of mortality. A throng of souls are following you as you lead us back to Heaven. I Thank you and your family with an eternal gratitude .

Thank you Brother Halverson for taking the extra time this week and breaking down everything verse by verse. Oh, how I miss these longer lessons! You bring the scriptures to life! You make Isaiah understandable, your wisdom and knowledge of scripture is incredible. I am so THANKFUL you are willing to share it with us. I love seeing you light up as you talk about scripture...you make me light up. You are doing a GREAT WORK! Thank you for every precious moment of time that you give to help us learn from this incredible ancient prophet.

[@RltnspdEMA]

Amen

[@lexxawinterfell6413]

I love this so much. I’m almost afraid to admit. I’m starting to see the picture Isaiah is painting. Thank you Brother halverson so much for taking the extra time and not rushing through it. My heart is filled with gratitude that I found your page. Thank you Lord for helping me scroll until I found the place that would be the perfect fit.

[@davidspjut9365]

Brother Jared…I feel so grateful for your gentle guidance through this intimidating maze of scripture❤️. You have helped me to see more clearly the heart of this great prophet, and why the Lord referred to his words as great. Thank you again for your charity by sharing your gifted teachings with us. We love your Unshaken dedication to your extended mission😇👍. Keep up the good work brother❤️. David

[@kathrynbolton4155]

Oh man, Bro Halverson! Thank you so much for helping me to FINALLY understand what was being said in these chapters! The history, the context, but also the application and pointing to Christ. I can now say that my soul "delights" in Isaiah ❤

[@beckywright7906]

I am grateful for Isaiah’s fantastic message. And I am grateful for your knowledge in helping me understand it.

[@kellieparker7472]

I'm filling a notebook and marking my BOM up with all the wonderful insights you give. You're an answer to prayer in my desire to learn Isaiah. God bless you for the time you take to explain in such detail and in ways I can understand. THANK YOU!!❤

[@little-miss-happy]

I learned so much from this series!!!!

[@rutht2023]

THANK YOU! I am understanding more because of your lessons. You answered a lot of my questions with your explanations.❤

[@brendakamka1272]

I am thankful for your wonderful insights into human need for understanding. I love reading my scriptures and getting insights to my questions from listening to scholars. I hope you are greatly blessed along with others who teach in the Come Follow Me way. Sincere thanks!

[@jennyweaver9851]

Thanks for all your insight! I love learning and it helps me to understand better the scriptures.God Bless you and your family!

[@sherryware]

Thank you for your expanding my understanding of these Isaiah scriptures. Very valuable instruction.

[@heathermather6317]

I loved this in my scripture study today❤️ “God has two hands and they’re both outstretched. We can grasp the hand of mercy at any time. It just takes a soft heart. It will be grasped by righteous remnants who will live long enough to hear the words of Isaiah speak words of reassurance; not just to them but to the world to whom they will deliver that message. They will have “seen the ensign and heard the hiss” and come running to the Lords army. Not a destroying one but a redeeming army”

[@novawarren5089]

Soo happy to ha😂The Book Of Mormon and studying again in the group 1:43

[@Ember3221]

I loved this lesson! I’ve been trying to understand these chapters more. You’ve helped me to learn a little more about the Isaiah chapters 👏. I’m reading the BoM to a friend and wondered how to help us both understand Isaiah better.

[@Smelltheflowers1413]

Thank you good brother. God bless you and your family. ☀️❤️

[@claudiahill7250]

Studying with you, scriptures and pen in hand has been time well spent! GREAT are the words of Isaiah! Thank you dear brother!

[@MavRuEsco]

Thank you so much for all the dedication and effort you put into these videos. I always look forward to the next!

[@havenlyfamily]

Thank you so much ❤

[@harmonywoodrome9911]

Thank you so much😍👏

[@shawnbrigance3993]

I love these explanations of Isaiah's language, shave with a hired razor, etc Thank you for these explanations!

[@mendystucki3468]

Thank you so much. I love listening to you

[@carolynkeiser5545]

In studying Scriptures I remember that those who want to learn will be blessed with more knowledge of the truth, but I remember it was said that those who say we have enough, we don't want any more - from them will be taken even that which they have. I don't remember were it was - but I think I the Books of Mormon ?😊

[@alicebradford9307]

I used to read Isaiah so I could say I’d read it. Thanks to Brother Jared, I know if I try I’ll be able to understand it better

[@shirleysumner7543]

Brother Halverson, thank you so much for sacrificing your time and energy to teaching us the scriptures. I am learning so much. I especially want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to hear you BYU talk. It touched my heart greatly and will definitely change me as a person. You showed me a way I was searching for. My 23 year old granddaughter , who suffers from anxiety, depression, ADD, plus others. who has been so faithful to the church, and is a senior in college, just moved in with her non-member boyfriend. He really is a great guy. I am also struggling with this upcoming election and am an election judge for our county. I feel at peace now and can be a better person in all situations. Thanks so much.

[@carolynkeiser7082]

Thank you

[@lindavancott5261]

When you talk about the tenth returning, I thought of a recent picture of that old noble banyan tree in Lahaina shooting off new little green leaves after that devastating fire...so symbolic.

[@voicesvoicesandmorevoices3051]

Thank you Bro Hal!

[@jersten]

Brother Halverson, I love your work and all you do for us! I love books and I also love your book shelf! I find myself trying to read the titles of them all, but I can't quite make them out. I don't suppose you could provide all of your loyal watchers a list, could you? 😅

[@ShellLeighSays]

Can I just say BRAVO! That was awesome. I lead gospel doctrine class and this is the part where I fear my weakness will really shine through. I have made diligent efforts to really embrace Isaiah and his beautiful words. This has given me so much confidence to go forth and liken this to myself. Isaiah really is our prophet, calling us to the return to the Lord. I chose to grab the Lords hand of mercy. ❤ Thank you for your time and efforts. Thank your family too. I know this is a great sacrifice for all of you.

i can only say Thank You

[@FreeSpirit5150]

"Sorry, our son's going to have to be a visual aid" 😂😂😂... that's right up there with "wander, wander, die, wander, die", which my husband and I use to this day.😂❤😂❤

[@013jcb]

I've always understood that "My anger is not turned away" to be God's justice, with "My hand is stretched out still" being, not necessarily His mercy, but Him beckoning us all back to Him, notwithstanding His anger against our earlier behavior.

[@joyful.inside.and.throughout]

I don,t know but maybe the Lord is reassuring Isaiah to continue even though the immediate result was not good

[@Mommaleebz]

Isaiah 19:10 was read after 9/11. Pride and obstinance of the US! Scary future for the prideful of this nation.

[@suzannaylor653]

Imagine during the millennial reign when the vast resources and manpower that we put into our military can be turned towards the poor and for the benefit of all people.

[@salome3354]

Ha! « Cruising for a bruising » made me chuckle. Reminds me of my parents saying, « chicken merry, hawk deh near! » (You’re having a grand old time and not sensing the danger next to you.) What’s with the universality of parents trying to spoil our fun?😂

[@leahrindlesbach6006]

To me it says let their hearts be heavy but preach anyways 20:03

[@elizacragun4697]

I've always loved the name Maher shalal Hashbaz. It's just fun to say, but the name of Isaiah's other son I think is more meaningful to us. "A remnant shall return" definitely refers to the gathering of Israel, but can't it also refer to each of us individually. When we go through difficult trials, when we are in the refiner's fire, it's easy to feel that there is no hope, that there is nothing left of us, but the Lord promises us to bring us through if we trust in Him.

[@elizacragun4697]

Isaiah uses so many counter-nature images. A few examples: the lion not getting it's prey, the lamb lying down with the lion, water flowing uphill. Of course, God also works counter-nature when he redeems us from our fallen state, but is it really counter-nature or does He just give us the power to overcome our fallen nature with our good nature?

[@013jcb]

If their eyes, ears & hearts are already shut against the Lord, then any teachings of the Lord will (probably) just make them shut up even harder, I should think.

[@joyful.inside.and.throughout]

If Isaiah had not done what he did would their hearts be recognized as fat

[@maxineenglund2138]

How about this: Isaiah's words stopped the ears and eye of the Deuteronimists so that they would not see Christ in what he says, and would thus be prevented from removing Christ from Isaiah's writings, thereby preserving it for future generations.

[@glenshaver9013]

This one does not understand , however , this does seek to comprehend . per-se’

[@hollayevladimiroff131]

The scripture you are stating Nephi 16:1 is the scripture of the bible, Isaiah 6:1. The ancient civilization of the B of M existed prior to Isaiah, so it is a puzzle to how Isaiah ended up in the Book of Mormon. Also, no one has seen God, Exodus 33:20 You cannot see My face, for no man shall see Me, and live. The Seraphim were hiding their faces, because no has seen the face of God and lives.

regarding the abundance by depopulation. Let us all please remember that mortals who do such depopulating are still the bad guys and not support their designs. We can count on God's promises without trying to hasten the results ourselves. Don't forget Mormon 4: 5 and Ether 8: 25.
