How did Isaiah see himself and his sons in relation to the children of Israel? (See 2 Nephi 18:18)
Their names and their relationship with the children of Israel are the same and reflect three themes. 1. The destruction of the people because of wickedness 2. The gathering of Israel back to God and 3. Christ's power to save his people.
If you would like to further explore how these three themes are repeated in prophacy read the following scriptures. You will come to see that each prophacy falls into one of the three catagories.
There is two main purposes for keeping a journal. To remember the good and learn from the bad.
In April 2009 M. Russell Ballard said
There is a famous saying attributed to George Santayana. You’ve probably heard it: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” (in John Bartlett, comp., Familiar Quotations, 15th ed. [1980], 703). There are, in fact, several different variations of this quote, including “Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it.” Regardless of the exact language, the sentiment is profound. There are great lessons to be learned from the past, and you ought to learn them so that you don’t exhaust your spiritual strength repeating past mistakes and bad choices.

You have been invited to keep a journal during your time in this study course. Today is a completion of four weeks and time to review what you have learned.
Take some time today to scan back through what you have written down.
Take a moment longer to ponder a verse of scripture that stuck out to you.
Reread a testimony you have written down.
Every four weeks you will have a review day to help deepen your understanding of the things you have learned in the past.
If you are not keeping a journal you are invited to start one today. Your first entry should be your testimony of Jesus Christ and why you choose to follow Him.
If you have nothing to review at this time go back and read some of the talks you have missed in the additional study sections.
