Begin by reading 2 Nephi 13 and 14. Choose key verses that stand out to you to discuss as a family. These scriptures are about how Judah and Jerusalem will be punished for their disobedience. Complete the compare and contrast activity provided in the materials.
As you continue to read in 2 Nephi, discuss some of the signs of the last days or some of the warnings Isaiah gave. Write down these ideas on the scroll provided. Let children stand on a stool, wear the beard, hold the scroll, and read aloud like the prophet Isaiah to warn the wicked.
Next, teach about how the Millennium will be a time of peace and joy. You can use the animal scene in your materials to help children understand. Teach that animals that don’t get along now will one day be at peace with each other during the Millennium. Close the lesson by singing Peace in Christ. See your summary sheet for a link to the song.
One of the bonus lessons this week is to talk about the temple being the House of the Lord. Share your experience of being married in the temple. Help the children create the 3D Temple. Let them put figures in and out of the temple pretending to go to the temple someday.
Use the Spin It Game to talk about different ways we can gain knowledge from the world and from God. Read Day 2 on your summary page for more details on this bonus idea.
(For those with a workbook there is a corrected Spin it Game file in the download section of your account)
Read 2 Nephi 25:23-26 and use the coloring page to memorize verse 26.
See your summary sheet for more details on the lesson and bonus activities as well as a QR code for the song Peace in Christ that goes along with the lesson.

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a guidebook on how to be a better parent? On how to have less contention in the home? A word or two on having more patience and kindness? The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom given to David, Solomon, and others who sought the guidance of Heaven. Many verses, when read with prayer and real intent, can answer our prayers when we need heavenly guidance in raising our children, such as this one: “A soft answer turneth away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1).
As we continue through Psalms, we are taught that humility is required to recognize God’s personal affection for each of His children. Heavenly Father knows each of us better than we know ourselves—our thoughts, strengths, and struggles—and offers His scriptures as a light to guide us home through life’s darkness and challenges.
