I mean’t 53
Yep, you can’t have a full chapter describing the crucifixion of the Messiah, written 700 years before it happened.
Because it would make you reconsider the proposition that the Messiah already came, having fulfilled all the Scripture written beforehand, and will return after a NATIONAL conversion to HIM.
Unfortunately, there are FReepers who have a death grip on their religion, unable and unwilling to see they are on the wrong road.
PRIDE will take you to hell faster than any other sin.
Why not just say what Chapter? Is it this one?
Isaiah 53
King James Version
53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
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.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
I wish you would have watched the video

Powerful stuff that chapter.
I hope we got at least one person to read it.
We were trying to reach the toughest crowd, metal heads.

Thank you. That was beautiful
Agree. We know the chapter, but this video of him sharing it with the Jewish people and helping them understand it’s relevance was very touching.
Self-ping
I remember being told by preachers years ago about synagogues that would have the scriptures opened to a new chapter of Isaiah each week of the year.... but they never would allow that 53rd chapter to be opened and discussed.
Wonderful to watch the witnessing and the thoughtful reception when the scriptures were presented. I recall discussions with young Jews about who the 53rd chapter is talking about..... lots of waffling as they knew it was about Yeshua but they didn’t want to come right out and say it.
The , Jews for Judaism would give the Youtuber a more vigorous argument.
Thanks for posting this.

Powerful stuff there.
Word made flesh.
I personally witnessed the testimony of a Messianic Jew who said that Isaiah 53 was the passage that lifted the veil from his eyes.
This happened almost 30 years ago.
Hmm. Had been meaning to watch this video for some time. Just did. This would be very useful for witness if used. I should do so. Have an agnostic Jewish acquaintance. Thank you.
