Isaiah 53:
"He was wounded for our transgressions.... by his stripes we are healed....
The Lord has laid the inequity of us all on him.........
In this section of Isaiah- "He" is personal singular and "Us" is the nation of Israel- of which Isaiah- included himself within the nation in his prophesy.
To think otherwise requires twisting logic. Or circular reasoning.
"He" cannot be "Us" at the same time.
"He" being the Lamb of God -fulfilled the pattern of the sacrificed lambs of the Old Testament which were slain to cover the sins of ISRAEL- those under that covenant.
To say "He" is Israel and "Us" is the gentiles, again twists logic.
