     Heavenly Father knows us so well that He knows what decisions we are going to make before we even know we are going to make a decision. You cannot trick the Lord. However do not think that He has taken away our agency either, the Lord cannot force us to choose the right decision. Isaiah 11:13 says:
    "The envy also of Ephraim shall depart and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim."
               In this scripture, Ephraim is the United States and Judah is Israel. One of the first countries to offer support when Israel wanted to declare their independence was the United States. The Lord knew in Isaiah's time that in the future our country would do that, and that is because He knows US.
    
     Non-LDS scholars think that the time given for Isaiah's writings/prophesies must have occured later because of how many of them have come true. They refuse to believe that a man could have prophesied of so many things before they happened. Isaiah 13:19-20 says:
          "And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
           It shall never be inhavited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tente there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there."
                One example of Isaiah's prophecies coming true; Babylon to this day is still uninhabited.

     We have to die for the resurrection to occur; our bodies will be buried unlike Satan because he does not have a body. Isaiah 14:20 says:
          "Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned."
      Satan will never have the privilege of having a body and therefore will not have any part in the
               resurrection.
