@ DT

The figure in Isaiah 53 was innocent. But was Israel?
Huh?

@ DT

If the expression “his death” was in the plural, the expression “his grave” would ALSO be in the plural.
But that’s not the case.
It is indeed one person and not several.

9] And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth

And they made His grave…[Read more]

You did not answer the question in verse 53:9

He was assigned 👉 a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in 👉 his death, 👈though he had committed no violence and there was no deceit in his mouth.

In what way could this verse apply to Israel?

The Paradox
Anyone who sets out to discover what the Old Testament says about the coming of the Messiah will quickly encounter paradoxical elements. At times, it may even seem like a mass of contradictions, for the Jewish prophets painted two distinct portraits of the coming Messiah.

On one hand, the researcher will…[Read more]

What Danny Dabbs told you about this is correct:

So!?

You see clearly that it is a person, this particular servant.

5] But HE was wounded 👉for our transgressions, HE was bruised 👉for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was 👉UPON HIM; and with HIS stripes we are healed.

You are very wrong to be so stubborn.

Don’t you see that the text is about a person?

👇

“His face was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men,”

The chapter before (52) and after (54) are also about Israel; so why is 53 suddenly about the Jesus?

@DT
Thank you for your response.

So according to your understanding, 53:6 would be Israel.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him (Israel) the iniquity of us all.

This cannot be…[Read more]

I asked you two specific questions in my last post

1) And you, are you sure you have verified EVERYTHING?

2) Are you truly capable of telling us who it is upon whom God has laid the iniquity of us all? (As it is written in verse 6)

IF YES, THEN TELL US ABOUT THE ONE UPON WHOM GOD HAS LAYED THE INiQUITY OF US ALL.

When will you verify for yourself if what you have been taught is true?

@ DT

And you, are you sure you have verified EVERYTHING?

Are you truly capable of telling us who it is upon whom God has laid the iniquity of us all? (As it is written in verse 6)

IF YES, THEN TELL US ABOUT THE ONE UPON WHOM GOD HAS LAYED THE INQUIRY OF US ALL.

3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised…[Read more]

RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

Convenient Faith

We are living in rather troublous times, aren’t we? There are wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes and tsunamis, pestilences and destruction, uncertain economic times, killings of innocent babies, decline in moral standards, and so much more atrocities and cruelty pervading the human family.

It is as e…[Read more]

DID JESUS BREAK THE SABBATH—OR MAN-MADE SABBATH RULES?

People accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath.

But did Jesus actually break God’s commandment?

The answer is found in the difference between God’s Sabbath and human traditions.

The Sabbath commandment says:

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
(Exodus 20:8–11)

Jesus kept the Sa…[Read more]

Interesting what say Origen about the Son as the visible YHWH of the Old Testament,

E.G.White largely agrees with Origen and explains why it is not the Father who intervenes in His dealings with humanity.
