The Lord shall give thee rest

Rest in Jesus will come.

"The Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve"
Isaiah 14:13

For unto us a child is born

For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
 - Isaiah 9:6

Thine iniquity is taken away

 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

 - Isaiah 6

Hank Smith shared that these verses remind us of the sacrament.  We are unclean, but as we covenant with the Lord by taking the sacrament, the bread taken from the sacrament table and placed in our mouths, Jesus can purify us.  And the smoke mentioned in verse 4 represents the Lord's presence, which we can feel in our sacrament meetings.

And he will lift up an ensign

It's interesting to see how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is spreading through the earth, and how the Lord is accomplishing this through many means including the coming Salt Lake Temple celebration.

"And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly"
 - Isaiah 5:26

The Mountain of the Lord’s House

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."
 - Isaiah 2:2
