"How Beautiful Upon The Mountains" 
Isaiah 50-53
POV
Messengers who bring glad 
tidings
Abinidai - Mosiah 15 
13 Yea, and are not the prophets, every one that has opened his mouth to prophesy, that has not fallen into 
transgression, I mean all the holy prophets ever since the world began? I say unto you that they are his seed. 
14 And these are they who have published peace, who have brought good tidings of good, who have 
published salvation; and said unto Zion: Thy God reigneth! 
15 And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet! 
16 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that are still publishing peace! 
17 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish peace, yea, 
from this time henceforth and forever! 
18 And behold, I say unto you, this is not all. For O how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that 
bringeth good tidings, that is the founder of peace, yea, even the Lord, who has redeemed his people; yea, 
him who has granted salvation unto his people;
