Who is it whom the Lord hides in 1 Nephi 21:2 and Isaiah 49:2?

Just as Jesus’ spiritual messianic role was largely hidden from people’s anticipation of a coming Messiah, so is God’s end-time servant’s temporal messianic role. This time, however, people’s expectations are reversed as God again tests their faith. While the Jews expected a temporal Messiah
who would restore Israel, most people today anticipate solely the coming of Jesus. Quoting Isaiah to say what he himself was “forbidden” to say, Nephi apprises us of Jesus’ forerunner who restores the house of Israel and establishes the Zion to which Jesus comes.
