The Bible Old Testament Book of Isaiah 13-14; 22; 24-30; 35

Isaiah was not called to be a Prophet through councils, committees, or by the Presiding High Priest Hilkiah. The Lord Himself called Isaiah directly — opening the heavens, commissioning him personally, and sending him with a voice that shook the nations. In this week's chapters, Isaiah warns Babylon, lifts Zion, reveals the restoration of the Gospel and the priesthood's keys, and foretells the gathering of Israel.

As a modern day directly called Apostle of Jesus Christ, I declare that my ancestor Isaiah’s prophecies concerning the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Restoration of the Gospel in the latter days were fulfilled. I testify that Isaiah's prophecies concerning the 2nd Coming of the Lord will also be fulfilled. I witness that the Lord is Alive and is breaking the power of Babylon, restoring His covenants, gathering Israel, raising Zion, and preparing the earth for His return.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
