Is this identification of the Messiah by name a first among Book of Mormon prophets?

Thomas R. Valletta

“This prophecy speaks to us in our day. The gathering of Israel, temples, and temple service are the principal themes in this section; we will ‘flow’ upwards to the temple mountain, learn of God’s ways (in the temple), and walk in God’s paths (in the temple). In addition, temple service and worship ([Isaiah] 2:2–3) are directly connected to worldwide peace and prosperity ([Isaiah] 2:4); that is, temple attendance ([Isaiah] 2:2) results in peace ([Isaiah] 2:4), a desire to learn of God ([Isaiah] 2:3), and a willingness to walk in his light ([Isaiah] 2:5). Micah presents the same prophecy in his writings (Micah 4:1–3)” (Parry et al., Understanding Isaiah, 24).
