What is the reason Nephi quotes Isaiah 48–49 in 1 Nephi 20–21?

Not all things Nephi sees in a great vision of the end from the beginning is he permitted to teach. Being forbidden to elaborate on specific end-time events (1 Nephi 14:28), he nevertheless points readers to Isaiah’s end-time scenario by quoting chapters of Isaiah that deal specifically with the
Lord’s servant (Isaiah 48:14–16; 49:1–10; 1 Nephi 20:14–16; 21:1–10). Expounding on many end-time events based on the prophecies of Isaiah, Nephi cites God’s baring his “arm”—his servant—as the key event that sets Israel’s restoration in motion (1 Nephi 22:10–29).
