• The Bible = Original • “And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.” (Isaiah 12:1-6) – About 700–681 B.C.

The King James Version of Isaiah, chapter 12, was copied and pasted into the Book of Mormon. This chapter of Isaiah can be found in 2 Nephi, chapter 22. The book of Isaiah and 2 Nephi are also available to read in the next chapters of this book. Details of what took place can be found below…
We give glory to the Father, who sent His Son to die for us. Sing praise to the LORD. Through the blood of Jesus, we are washed clean and forgiven. There is no more condemnation in the sight of our God. Praise God that Jesus died for our sins, and rose from the grave. I declare this gospel message and tell everyone who has an ear to hear to come unto Jesus. Salvation is only through Him and no one else. Give the LORD a shout of praise if He has changed your life, and you are now saved. Isaiah wrote, "behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted." (Isaiah 12:2-4) Salvation comes from God. If He has saved you, then give Him a shout of praise. We were lost until He found us.
These verses are also in the Book of Mormon. Not that they are the same as what we just read, for it takes away the name of God, YHWH, or Yahuwah. This saddens my soul just thinking that every time “LORD” is referenced it is purposely changed to “Lord”. Who would do such a thing? Changing the sacred Name of God is blasphemy. It is written, "behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation. Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say: Praise the Lord, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted." (2 Nephi 22:2-4) It was Joseph Smith that took the KJV Bible and changed the purity of its words in Isaiah. He did this in order to conform to his man-made desires. Only a false prophet would do this. Changing the name of God from "LORD" to "Lord" is a disgrace to the God I love. Amen.
Let us pray: Oh Lord, You deserve the highest praise. I once thought that I could never be good enough for You. I have done some horrible things. Thank You, for taking my debt from me. You didn’t have to die for my sins on the cross, but You did so because of Your love for me. You have given me a new life, and it is amazing in every fashion of the word. Thank You for using me for Your kingdom. I know that many people are against me and would have me stop this work that You have started in my life. They don’t understand the importance of proclaiming the good news of the gospel to every person and in all nations. You have given me words to speak and in so doing, false teachings are exposed. Praise God! I know that this comes with much persecution. People will fight against me in these new desires from You, the most High God. So Lord, use me for Your kingdom. No matter how much time I have left, help me be a beacon of light in this world. Guide my path, that many more people will be saved. I only desire to do Your will, God. It is my desire that people know how great You are, God. Not to forsake You by way of their sinful lifestyle, but to give it all up to follow You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Amen.
