Isaiah 53: Portrait Of The King (Part 2)

Today, we'll take a look at the Word of God as given to us through Isaiah. We will go verse-by-verse, and we'll let the Word of God amplify the Word of God....

Who has believed our message?
Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matt. 7:14

To whom has the arm of YHWH been revealed?

John 8:28

For He grew up before Him as a tender plant,
[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

and as a root out of dry ground.
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Luke 22:44

and carried our suffering;

John 1:29

yet we considered Him plagued,
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 12:53

struck by God, and afflicted.
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided [Him], saying, He saved others; let Him save himself, if He be Christ, the chosen of God. Luke 23:35

But He was pierced for our transgressions.
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Rev. 5:12

and He shall divide the spoil with the strong;
Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Rev. 20:5

because He poured out His soul to death,

Rev. 5:6

and was numbered with the transgressors;
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:
Gal. 3:13

yet He bore the sin of many,
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given me, that they may be one, as We [are].
John 17:11

and made intercession for the transgressors.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given me; for they are Thine.
John 17:9

It is my hope that at least three things have been clearly seen through our reading.

1. How the prophecy of Isaiah 53 was (and continues to be) perfectly fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the Son of God Almighty.

2. How the accuracy of this passage is not only seen in the window of time present during the life of Isaiah, nor just during the times of Jesus' ministry, but in fact covers from creation to completion.

3. How the harmony of the The Word is evident as passage after passage of Scripture confirms itself through itself, with never a discrepancy nor even a trace of the slightest error.

Grace and Peace....
