A Sanctuary or a “Stone of Stumbling”

Church Educational System
The prophecy in 2 Nephi 18:13–22 is messianic in nature (see also Jacob 4:14–17). Because of their rejection of the Messiah, Isaiah prophesied that the Jewish nation would inherit “trouble, and darkness, [and] dimness of anguish” (2 Nephi 18:22).
