Grandizer, did you see this from Isaiah 1:4: "See Isaiah 1:4 for e.g.: "Woe, sinful nation, people laden with iniquity, offspring who do evil, children who act corruptly, who have forsaken the Lord, who have despised the Holy One of Israel, who are utterly estranged!"
He clearly calls the people/nation sinful and laden with iniquity. Then he says the Servant was righteous, had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His Mouth. He also repeatedly says the Servant bears the sins of many and suffers and dies for the transgression of his, I.e. Isaiahs people, I.e. the Nation of Israel. So if the Nation of Israel is causing the Servant to suffer, and He is bearing their sins righteously, and they/we are all sinners, as it says in Isaiah 1:4, isn't it clear the Servant and Israel are two entities? Any thoughts on what Louis Lapides said in Vase for Christ by Lee Strobel on Isaiah 53 that I cited earlier? God Bless.
“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the Lord’s hand
double for all her sins.” —Isaiah 40:1–2
Lee Strobel is a journalist who cherry-picked only those who would agree with him.
Louis Lapides, a Jewish believer in Jesus, taught biblical studies at BIOLA University focusing on Old Testament history and New Testament theology.
That's all I need to know.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
