Summary: Very accurate author
Comment: Mr. Smith has interpreted one of the most difficult books of the Bible because it was written in metaphors and types in order that the true meaning would not be understood until the last days when we most needed this information. Because he is a brilliant man who took the time to learn Hebrew and study with an elderly Rabbi who knew the way of translating of the Jews, that is how he unlocks the message in this most prophetic book. He is a very conscientious writer. If he is not sure of something, he will qualify it. This book gives the last days in chronological order. If you want a translation straight from Isaiah, see his book, "Scriptures of the Last Days." For people who truly want to know the truth, these books give an experience in understanding and will clear up rumors and untrue things that have thus far been circulated.

Summary: Thought-provoking and controversial
Comment: No question, the author is opinionated and states his beliefs without any mention of other possibilities or intrepretations. I, unlike the other reviewers, find this attitude refreshing. I like an author that says what he means and means what he says. It gives you something to sink your teeth in and this book led to a much greater depth of study and understanding than I would have without reading it. Of course it's offensive and controversial, but I've no doubt that Christ's coming and judgements will also be offensive and controversial.

I'm not at all saying that I agree with everything the author says,however. But I found when looking in other Isaiah commentaries, and that's what this book really is, time and time again I found more main-stream Mormon authors at least stating that these interpretations are plausible. I recommend you try it if you wish to follow the Savior's admonition to search the words of Isaiah.

Summary: If serious about the Last Days, just get Gileadi's material
Comment: Robert Smith, a student of Avraham Gileadi's works, makes some bold, but unconvincing attempts to look into Gileadi's study of Isaiah. Where Gileadi opens some wonderful vistas of Isaiah from a macro-level, Smith tries to build upon Gileadi's work from a micro-level. However, the reader will find that Smith really stretches in many of his conclusions.

Instead of leaving the reader some suggestions on what things could mean, Smith forces his beliefs down your throat and leaves no room for another point of view.

Smith believes that the Davidic Servant is John the Beloved based on D&C77:9&14. However, Smith fails to give commentary on scriptures that oppose that view like D&C 27:6-7 and JST John 1:21-28. He also stretches when he says that food storage is the "oil" that the five wise virgins must have to be "raptured away" onto the exodus by Angels.

Unlike Gileadi that will give the reader parallels and types to demonstrate what Isaiah and other prophets are telling us, Smith attempts to make huge jumps across the Grand Canynon based on one scripture here or there which he is unable to clear with so little material.

For the serious student of latter-day prophecy, I would suggest that one not waste their money on Smith's works and just study Gileadi's research.
