With the writings of Isaiah wordplay of themes can be an exciting exercise. Nephi used his writings prophetically (compare with the book of Isaiah). I tried it with these temple theme verses:
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, when the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go as like a train which fills it (the temple), and singing "come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths"; then praying within her walls they say, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory". Here we are, send us forth, and "thou wilt go for me", he saith.
2 Nephi 12:2-3
2 Nephi 16:1-3, 8
