 Part of the kingdom of the devil being shaken up includes revealing the acts of wickedness to the world.
+** Isaiah 29:15 **
+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.
+To take the Lord's name in vain means to use it without authority.  Irreverence is another way.
+The Book of Mormon exposes the enemies of Christ (Pres Benson), Ensign, January 1988.
+"Every man eventually is backed up to the wall of faith, and there he must take his stand." //A Witness and a Warning// (Pres Benson)
+** Isaiah 29:20-22 **
+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").
