The LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea. 11:15
First or Proto-Isaiah was written in the eigth century BCE, two hundred years before the other two books (Deutero-Isaiah and Trito-Isaiah) were written. 1:1
"I cannot; for it is sealed." Joseph Smith used verses 11 and 12 to "prove" to Martin Harris that the Book of Mormon was prophesied by Isaiah. Martin Harris brought a sheet of Joseph Smith's "reformed Egyptian" characters to the linguistic scholar Charles Anthon at Columbia College. When he asked Harris to see the golden plates themselves, he was told that that was forbidden -- to which Anthon replied, "I cannot read a sealed book." 29:11
"I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder." God will perform a "marvelous work and a wonder" by destroying wisdom and understanding. The Mormons believe the "marvelous work and a wonder" is the Book of Mormon. 29:14
"The screech owl also shall rest there." The screech owl is translated "Lilith" in many translations of this verse. Lilith appears in some Jewish folklore as Adam's first wife. Others say she was a sexual night-demon who steals babies. 34:14
"Your sons ... shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."Since in the book of Daniel, Daniel and his companions were of royal descent and were under the authority of the prince of the eunuchs (Daniel ), this would seem to indicate that they were eunuchs. 39:7
"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. " The authors of the Synoptic Gospels claim that these words refer to John the Baptist. (Matthew , Mark , Luke -6) And in the Gospel of John, John the Baptist makes the claim himself. (John ) But there's nothing in the verse itself that would support such an interpretation. 40:3
