And so I will obey...How about you?
Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the L-RD 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 has borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him
stricken, smitten of G-d, 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 (saved).
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and
the L-RD 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 (Israel) 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 L-RD to bruise Him;
He hath put Him to grief: when
thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed (Believers), He shall prolong
His days, and the pleasure of the L-RD 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 (sins - like a lamb did in the Temple).
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. AGI
"My G-d, I see the 'LAMB'
- and it is 'a' Man and not Israel!"
In the Ethics of the Fathers (Pirkey Avoth), it teach that everything is foreseen
by G-d but mankind is granted freedom to make his choice, and so it is with you my dear friends!
Choose to believe what the Prophet Isaiah wrote in the Holy Scriptures, chose
it over all that you have been told or believed, and you will be blessed with life in the hereafter granted by
G-d Himself, and provided by G-d Himself, as a free gift to you.
Martin Buber once said, "He who loves, brings G-d and the world together."
But Yeshua Messiah once said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father (G-d),
but by Me." (John 14:6)
I know this seems very narrow to many of you, but just as Moses was the mediator
for Israel in the desert, so Yeshua is the mediator of the New Covenant promised back in Deut 30:6:
"And the L-RD thy G-d will circumcise your heart, and the heart of thy
seed, to love the L-RD thy G-d with all your heart, and with all thy soul, that you may live."
This is G-d's doing! Not us doing it, but G-d Himself putting His Torah on our hearts so that we may live out His
Promise.
