How is the Lord both the Father and the Son in Mosiah 15:2–3? - Book of Mormon Isaiah

How is the Lord both the Father and the Son in Mosiah 15:2–3?

Abinadi’s teaching that the Lord at his coming would be “the Father and the Son” has roots in the theology of Isaiah. A hierarchy of father–son relationships characterizes a ladder to heaven on which Jehovah/Jesus acts as “son” or vassal to the Most High God but as “father” or emperor to his “sons.” Within the terms of the Davidic Covenant, the word “father” designates a savior who ministers to his “sons” but who also acts as “son” to the Lord. Examples include Eliakim, Gentile kings and queens, and Helaman (Isaiah 22:21; 49:23; 2 Nephi 10:18; Alma 56:46).
