A) (Isa 9:6-7) For A Future Generation, The Gloom And Distress Upon Israel Would Be No More - As When At First The LORD Treated With Contempt The Lands Of Zebulun And Naphtali, And Afterward More Heavily Oppressed Them Through Assyrian Invasion. The People Of Israel Who In Past Generations Walked In Darkness Would See A Great Light From The LORD Shining Upon Them. The Nation Would Be Multiplied And The LORD Would Increase Their Joy - Like The Rejoicing At Harvest Time Or When Men Divide The Spoils. In The Manner That The LORD Supernaturally Provided Victory For Gideon And Israel Over The Midianites, So There Would Be An End To Oppression And War: For Unto Israel A Child Would Be Born. To His People Israel The LORD Would Give A Son - His Son. The Government Would Be upon His Shoulder; And His Name Would Be Called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace. And Of The Increase Of His Government And Peace There Would Be No End. He Would Rule His Kingdom And The World From The Throne Of David - Establishing Judgment And Justice Forever. All Of This Would Be Accomplished Through The Zeal Of The LORD of Hosts

2) [Compare Isa 7:14 ]:

B) (Isa 49:1-3) The LORD's Servant To All Mankind Declared Himself To Mankind Through The Prophet Isaiah. He Was Born Of A Woman, Called By The LORD From The Womb, Equipped To Pronounce Judgment Upon All Mankind, Protected And Hidden By The LORD Until His Time, Named "Israel" - An Individual Not A Group Of Israelites, As Some Contend - In Whom The LORD Will Manifest His Glory

C) (Isa 49:4-5) The LORD's Servant Declared His Labor In Vain, His Strength Spent; Yet He Declared That His Reward Was With The LORD, His Work With "My God." The Servant Then Declared That The LORD Who Formed Him From The Womb - Confirming His Humanity - To Be The LORD's Servant To Bring The Tribes Of Jacob (All Israel) Back To Him. The Servant Of The LORD - An Individual Person Chosen By The LORD "Shall Be Glorified In The Eyes Of The LORD, And My God Shall Have Been My Strength."

D) (Isa 49:6-7) The LORD Declared That Not Only Was His Servant To Raise Up The Tribes Of Jacob - To Restore All Israel - But The Servant Was To Be A Revelation To All Mankind Of The LORD And Of His Salvation. The LORD, The Redeemer, The Holy One Of Israel, Had Said To His Servant - To The Abhorred One Of The Gentiles, To The Servant Of The Rulers Of The World: "Kings Will See, And Princes Will Rise Up To Bow Down To The Servant Because Of The LORD God Who Is Faithful. Isaiah Wrote To The Servant, "The LORD Chose You" To Restore Israel And Provide Eternal Salvation To All Mankind

E) (Isa 49:8) In The Time Decreed By The LORD For Effecting His Eternal Plan Of The Regathering Of Israel To Himself, The Restoration Of The Earth And The Provision Of Salvation Unto Eternal Life For All Mankind; The LORD Declared To His Chosen Servant That He Will Have Answered Him, Helped Him, Preserved Him And Given Him As A Covenant To Israel His People To Restore The Earth Forever - Especially Israel's Promised Land Inheritance

F) (Isa 49:9-13) The Lord's Chosen Servant Will Command All Israelites To Return From Captivity To The Promised Land As Well As All Mankind From Throughout The World To Go Before Him - To Experience Unprecedented Prosperity. No One Will Ever Suffer Hunger, Thirst, Scorching Winds, Or Heat Of The Sun - An Eternally Beneficient Worldwide Climate And Topography Is In View. People From All Over The World Will Come To Receive Blessings From And The Salvation Of The LORD. The LORD Declares For The Heavens To Sing, The Earth To Be Joyful, The Mountains To Sing Because He Will Have Had Mercy On His Afflicted - Referring To Israel. The Everlasting Kingdom Of God Is In View!

G) (Isa 50:1-11) The LORD Has Temporarily Divorced Israel - Sent Her Into Captivity Because Of Her Iniquities, But His Is The Power To Restore Her. On The Other Hand, Unlike Israel, The Servant Of The LORD Would Be Obedient And Faithful To Him. He Would Give His Body Up To Those Who Persecuted Him. He Will Be Confident He Was Doing The Will Of God And His Faithfulness Would Be Vindicated. His Enemies Would Perish. And The LORD God Exhorted Israel To Trust In Him - Evidently In The Faithful Work Of The Servant And Thereby They Will Be Saved And Delivered - Restored. But If They Do Not Trust In Him, They Will Lie Down To Eternal Torment

H) (Isa 52:1-15) The LORD's Servant - His Holy Arm Will Bring Salvation To All Mankind. This Servant Of God Acts Wisely. He Has Been Greatly Exalted, Yet His Appearance Was Inhumanly Disfigured. Some Will Choose To Believe In Him For Salvation And He Will Cleanse Their Sins Implying His Personal Atonement For All Of Mankind So That They May Make That Choice. So The Arm Of The LORD Has Evidently Been Revealed To All Mankind - Jews And Gentiles Alike. Most Will Not Choose To Hear About Him

d) [Rebuttal: The Servant Is Not Israel, He Did Not Go Through Relentless Persecution. The Servant Is A Man Who Was The One Who Suffered For Mankind's Sins]:

I) (Isa 53:1-4) Throughout History Few Will Have Believed In The Report Of Salvation Through The Arm Of The LORD Which Is Revealed To All Mankind Throughout History And At Judgment - The One Who Has Grown Up In His Humanity Before The LORD With No Stately Form Or Attractive Appearance, Despised And Forsaken - A Man Of Sorrows And Grief, Without Esteem Among Men. He Has Taken Up Mankind's Pain, Borne Our Suffering. Yet He Is Considered Punished And Afflicted By God

The Chastisement For The Purpose Of Establishing Mankind's Peace With God Falls Upon Him. By His Scourging All Mankind Is Healed Spiritually From Sins. For All Mankind Has Gone Astray / Sinned. And The LORD Has Laid On Him The Iniquity Of All Mankind]:

3) [The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of Isa 53:5a & b Selects An Available Meaning, (And Excludes Other Meanings), For The Preposition Transliterated "min" Because It Is Consistent With Their View Against Substitutionary / Vicarious Atonement]:

4) [The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of Isa 53:5a & b Arbitrarily Rules Out An Available Meaning Of The Preposition "min" Because It Signifies Substitutionary Atonement Which Doctrine They Reject Because Of False Interpretations Derived From An Improper Interpretation Of Passages Elsewhere Which Do Not Have The Subject Of Substitutionary Atonement For Forgiveness Of Sins Unto Eternal Life In View. But Substitutionary Atonement Is Corroborated By Isa 53:c & d And The Rest Of Scripture]:

a) [Compare Exod 32:30-33]:

b) [Compare Nu 35:31-33]:

c) [Compare Dt 24:16; 2 Kgs 14:6]:

But The Verb Is Literally And Best Rendered "There Is Healing To Us," Within The Context Of A Yet Future Event - Which Largely Agrees With "We Are Healed"]:

6) [The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of The Last Phrase Of Isa 53:5 Which They Interpret To Say "And by His [Israel's]:bruise we [Gentiles]:were healed" Is In Error]:

7) [The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of Isa 53:6 Attempts To Force An Alternative Translation That Better Suits Their Point Of View Instead Of One That Suits The Context. Furthermore The Alternative Translation Adds Information From Elsewhere In Scripture That Is Not In View And Which Does Not Fit The Context Of Isa 53:6 Either]:

a) [Compare Jer 29:7]:

b) [Compare Isa 10:5; cf. Jer 51:20]:

c) [Compare Hab 1:6-12]:

K) (Isa 53:7-9) The Holy Arm Of The LORD, The Salvation Of Our God, His Servant, Despite His Innocence, He Has Been Oppressed And Afflicted. He Did Not Open His Mouth: Like A Lamb That Is Led To Slaughter - Like A Sheep That Is Silent Before Its Shearers. By Oppression And False Judgment He Has Been Taken Away, And Executed For The Transgressions Of All Mankind, To Whom That Punishment Was Due - Few Of Whom Considered Him At All. His Grave Was To Be With The Wicked, But He Was Buried In A Tomb Assigned For The Rich. He Had Done No Violence, Neither Was There Any Deceit In His Mouth - Without Sin

1) The Popular Jewish Interpretation of Isa 53:7 Maintains That The Remnant Of Israel Has Been Relentlessly Massacred Like Sheep Being Slaughtered, A Symbolism That Is Reflected Throughout Scripture Which They Maintain Corroborates Their Interpretation

2) [Compare Hos 1:10; 2:23]:

3) The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of Isa 53:8 Does Not Stand Up To Scripture Properly Interpreted

a) [Hebrew - English Interlinear]:

b) [Judaica Press Complete Tanach Isa 53:8]:

c) [Compare Isa 53:8]:

i) [The Hebrew word לָמוֹ transliterated "lāmô" can be rendered "to Him" or "to them."]:

[Compare Job 22:2]:

[Compare Job 20:23b]:

ii) The prefixed preposition מ in the word מִפֶּשַׁע (transliterated "mippeša',") altogether may be translated “for the transgression" or “because of the transgression,"]:

4) [The Popular Jewish Interpretation Of Isa 53:9 Examined]:

L) (Isa 53:10-11) Yet It Pleased The LORD To Bruise [Crush]:Him / Cause Him To Suffer The Grief Of Such A Physical And Spiritual Death As To Accomplish His Purpose Of An Offering For Sin For The Restoration Of Mankind To Himself Via The LORD's Servant's Atoning Sacrifice. Thereafter The LORD Shall Raise His Seed - His One And Only Son - From The Dead, And Prolong His Days Forever. And In His Hand, The LORD Will Take Pleasure In Prospering Him - In Exalting Him Forever

And As A Result Of The Anguish Of His Soul In His Physical And Spiritual Death For His Atonement For Sins, The Seed Of God, The Arm / The Servant Of The LORD, The One And Only Son Of God Will See What He Has Accomplished And Be Satisfied With That. For By The Knowedge - By A Moment Of Faith In Him - In His Atonement, The Righteous One - The One Without Sin Will Justify The Many - Those Who Have Believed, As He Has Borne Upon Himself Their Iniquities And Those Of All Mankind
