“Cease Ye from Man”

K. Douglas Bassett

Rev. 11:11-13; 16:18, 20; Ezek. 38:20; Isa. 62:4; Haggai 2:6-7; D&C 45:48; 133:23

2 Ne. 13 “Isaiah’s vision of the effects of wickedness continued from the preceding chapter. For Nephi and his people this would have been a prophetic confirmation of the suffering and degradation they were spared by fleeing Jerusalem… . Given that Nephi included these chapters of Isaiah in his record for the benefit of those of our day, we properly see in this description of Judah’s haughtiness, pride, and intoxication with fashion a pattern and warning for the last days.” (R. Millet and J. F. McConkie, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, 1: 278-279)
