• i. Isaiah 30:19–21. The Savior knows our trials and directs our paths.

• • How does the Savior “wipe away [our] tears”? (Isaiah 25:8).

• • Isaiah prophesied that when the Messiah would come, he would die and be resurrected (Isaiah 25:8). Who else will be resurrected? (See Isaiah 26:19; 1 Corinthians 15:20–22; Alma 11:43–44.) What does Isaiah 26:19 suggest about how we will feel when we are resurrected? (See also D&C 138:12–16, 50.)

Compare the following verses in Isaiah 29 with the corresponding passages to see how some of Isaiah’s prophecies have been fulfilled:

Isaiah 29:4	Moroni 10:27
Isaiah 29:9–10, 13	Joseph Smith—History 1:18–19
Isaiah 29:11–12	Joseph Smith—History 1:63–65
Isaiah 29:14	Doctrine and Covenants 4:1; 6:1

• • Isaiah told of people drawing near to the Lord with their mouths while their hearts are far from Him (Isaiah 29:13). How can we make sure that we are close to the Lord in our thoughts and actions as well as in our words?
