That chapter was not talking about Israel, Ogbeni!

Is that how you did your English comprehension in School.

The place you underlined was a statement directed to Cyrus, saying "The God of Israel who summons YOU for the sake of Jacob my servant". All the words in that chapter from verse 1 -7 were directed at Cyrus. How exactly was the chapter about Israel? Just because God told Cyrus that He is summoning him to help restore the captivity of Jacob?

And for your information, Israel at the time of Cyrus were suffering for their own sins. After being forewarned by many prophets to no avail. They were being justly punished for their inquiries.

The suffering servant of Isaiah 53 depicted a sinless personality, humble and chaste who made Himself the sacrificial lamb for the sins of others - not for His own sins.

Jacob is God's servant..

He is the suffering servant in chapter 53..

I really don't know how else to present it.

It is a servant that is suffering in 53 not a son. I really don't understand how you can't understand...
Moreover there is no death and resurrection, which are the Hallmark of Christianity.....
God has already given them the solution to the problem of sin...none of which involves human/demi god sacrifice..2nd chronicles 7:14


What is it you don't understand...I don't want to waste my time on this..

My friend, should we start dissecting Isaiah 53 too?

Point to any verse in Isaiah 53 that confirms that indeed a servant was referred.

Verse 10 and 11

Verse 10 and 11

Verse 10 says:
"Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."

1. In what way did the Lord bruise him and put him to grief because of the sins of others?

2. In what way did the Lord make Israel's soul an offering for sin?


Verse 11 says:
"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."

1. In what way can Israel be called His righteous servant?

2, What power does Israel have to justify many?

3, Whose iniquities is Israel bearing or shall bear?


Now, consider the preceding verse 6

6 All we(Israelites) like sheep have gone astray; we(The Israelites) have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him(Someone else- the Messaiah) the iniquity of us all.

How do you reconcile verse 6 with verses 10 and 11?
