Part of the kingdom of the devil being shaken up includes revealing the acts of wickedness to the world. | Part of the kingdom of the devil being shaken up includes revealing the acts of wickedness to the world. | ||

+ | I think it shows the absolute confidence of the people, that they boldly proclaim that their works are unknown. Also, it shows that they are aware of their wicked deeds -- they do not sin ignorantly. In the last days, the works of their own hands will testify against them (Isaiah 19:16). They will witness not only the creator that made them, but that they were aware of what they were doing. | ||

+ | |||
+ | What a great promise in verse 20. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Isaiah 29:21 - these are those that shall be cut off, and in the days of the Book of Mormon, these are the designs of the wicked: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * they make a man an offender for the word. That happens a lot - in the age of political correctness and acceptance over tolerance, nothing is wrong, and if someone is offended, it is a grave error. | ||
+ | * lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate - if they are in the gate, that must mean that they are in a position where many people pass through, or have general access to. The wicked will look to trap them somehow. | ||
+ | * turn aside the just for a thing of naught. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Isaiah 29:22 - the Lord claims the credit, He is the one who "redeemed Abraham." Jacob won't be worried ("neither shall his face now wax pale"). | ||
