1 Nephi 21
Isaiah again makes reference to the Savior writing -
"Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One..." (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:7)
and again -
"...all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob." (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:26)
Also in verse one where the Lord describes the foreordination and responsibility of Israel, he writes -
"...Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken ye people from far..." (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:1)
I believe "me" is Israel for in verse three he explains -
"And said unto me: Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified." (Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:3)
"Me" then is Israel and much of the chapter is the responsibility and covenant of Israel in gathering Israel (bringing souls unto Christ) in the last days.
