00:00:00
how's it going everyone I've noticed a
00:00:02
few of you inquiring about Isaiah chter
00:00:05
53 in Christian circles Isaiah 53 is a
00:00:09
very well-known chapter focused on
00:00:12
Messianic prophecy we're going to go
00:00:14
through the chapter and and you will see
00:00:16
it it seems to be outlining the entirety
00:00:20
of Jesus life but now the question
00:00:24
is the Jews don't believe that Jesus is
00:00:26
the Messiah so when what is the Jewish
00:00:29
interpretation of so what we're going to
00:00:30
do in today's video we're going to be
00:00:32
looking at uh a video from Rabbi tovia
00:00:35
singer what his take on Isaiah 53 and
00:00:38
then we're going to be looking at
00:00:39
another video from Dr Michael Brown a
00:00:44
Messianic Jew what his take on Isaiah 53
00:00:48
because those are going to be two very
00:00:49
different takes so I think this is going
00:00:51
to be an interesting video so without
00:00:53
further Ado let's look at Isaiah chapter
00:00:56
53 as I said from a Christian
00:00:59
perspective it seems to be very clearly
00:01:01
outlining the life of Jesus I've
00:01:03
highlighted a few sections so we don't
00:01:04
have to go through the entire chapter
00:01:06
but here verse three it says he is
00:01:08
despised and rejected by men who who who
00:01:11
what is that who does that sound like a
00:01:13
Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief
00:01:15
surely he has borne our griefs and
00:01:18
carried our
00:01:20
sorrows but he was wounded for our
00:01:24
transgressions you know who does it
00:01:26
sound like he was bruised for our
00:01:28
iniquities that this sounds V this
00:01:31
sounds pretty familiar doesn't it uh but
00:01:34
and by his stripes we are healed what
00:01:38
Stripes you know by his stripes the
00:01:41
maybe the whips on his I mean you see
00:01:43
what I'm saying the visual the imagery
00:01:45
here and the lord has laid on him the
00:01:48
iniquity of us all he was oppressed and
00:01:52
he was afflicted yet he opened not his
00:01:56
mouth he was led as a lamb to the slau
00:02:00
who is this person we're talking about
00:02:03
here it it it does sound like Jesus for
00:02:07
he was cut off from the land of the
00:02:10
living Jesus was cut off from the land
00:02:13
of the living for the
00:02:15
transgressions of my people he was
00:02:20
stricken this sounds like a Messianic
00:02:23
prophecy about Jesus if I've ever heard
00:02:26
one and they made his grave with the
00:02:30
wicked that I highlighted that green
00:02:32
because I'm not sure about that you know
00:02:33
Jesus his grave wasn't with the wicked
00:02:36
you know so how does that work you know
00:02:39
because if it is if it is a prophecy
00:02:41
about Jesus shouldn't every single thing
00:02:43
should align here okay I've heard people
00:02:46
say his made they made his grave with
00:02:49
the wicked could be about you know Jesus
00:02:52
was crucified with you know a thief and
00:02:55
a murderer beside him but I mean that's
00:02:58
not technically his grave but then look
00:02:59
at the next line but with the rich at
00:03:02
his death Jesus was was buried in the
00:03:05
Tomb of a rich man but he because he had
00:03:09
done no violence nor was any deceit in
00:03:13
his mouth that sounds like Jesus to
00:03:16
me when you make his soul an offering
00:03:19
for sin come on guys that sounds like
00:03:22
Jesus to me
00:03:24
right he shall see his seed but wait a
00:03:27
second Jesus didn't have any seed he
00:03:31
didn't have Offspring he didn't have
00:03:33
descendants so how does that work you
00:03:36
know and then here again I highlighted
00:03:37
at Green therefore I will divide him a
00:03:40
portion with the great when did God
00:03:42
divide Jesus a portion with the great
00:03:43
how does that work you know so the
00:03:46
question is who is this who are we
00:03:48
talking about we're talking about this
00:03:50
servant right God's servant who is this
00:03:53
servant again from a Christian
00:03:56
perspective it seems like this servant
00:03:58
is Jesus the Messiah I almost forgot if
00:04:01
we go back to Isaiah 52 it's even more
00:04:03
evidence that this is Jesus so his Vis
00:04:06
was marred more than any man who are we
00:04:09
talking about the servant again my
00:04:11
servant Kings shall shut their mouths at
00:04:14
him I mean it seems like we're talking
00:04:16
about Jesus here because all of these
00:04:17
traits align with Jesus the Messiah now
00:04:21
my immediate question is what is the
00:04:24
Jewish view of a chapter that seemingly
00:04:26
points directly to Jesus as the Messi
00:04:29
mesiah who is the sin bearing servant to
00:04:33
a Jew for that explanation we're going
00:04:36
to go to Rabbi tovia singer and I think
00:04:40
the answer may surprise you a bit so
00:04:43
what do you think Isaiah would say
00:04:45
Isaiah would say well did you read what
00:04:48
I wrote before Isaiah
00:04:51
53 I mean isn't it logical that if I ask
00:04:56
yesi who is this chapter speak speaking
00:05:01
about he would probably ask certainly as
00:05:05
a question did you read what I wrote
00:05:07
before this yeah context is important
00:05:10
Isaiah is always introducing all the
00:05:13
figures throughout the book as it turns
00:05:17
out we would go to the chapters that
00:05:19
introduce it which missionaries are
00:05:21
complete unfamiliar with so let's look
00:05:24
at what does Isaiah say about the book
00:05:27
of Isaiah what does Isaiah say about
00:05:30
if what I'm saying makes no sense to you
00:05:34
then you should never listen to the show
00:05:36
no it makes perfect sense Isaiah is not
00:05:39
our foremost commentary on the book of
00:05:41
Isaiah then we live in an alternative
00:05:44
Universe if we go to the chapters and
00:05:47
introduce it because Isaiah 53 is the
00:05:50
fourth of four servant
00:05:52
songs so if we begin with Isaiah
00:05:56
41 we are told explicitly in verse 8 and
00:06:00
N that Israel is God's servant in the
00:06:03
singular Isaiah 43 it's so important
00:06:06
Isaiah 43 vers 10
00:06:12
11 you are my Witnesses declares the
00:06:15
Lord and my servant who I've chose I
00:06:17
want to say that
00:06:20
again you are my Witnesses that's plural
00:06:24
declares the Lord AI my servant single
00:06:28
the exact same word we find twice in the
00:06:31
Isaiah 53 text what purpose was that the
00:06:35
servant of Hashem that CLA not all the
00:06:38
Jews not Bernie made off I'm talking of
00:06:40
those who are loyal to what is the
00:06:42
purpose what what do we need a nation
00:06:45
that is destined to be in so it tells us
00:06:49
for what
00:06:49
reason so that you should
00:06:52
know and you should trust me Vu and you
00:06:56
should comprehend what who
00:07:00
I am him that's
00:07:04
it before me no God was
00:07:09
formed and after there will not be and I
00:07:12
believe Isaiah moreover let's go to the
00:07:14
next
00:07:16
verse even I am the
00:07:20
Lord besides me there is no other Savor
00:07:24
nothing look at Isaiah 44:1 who was the
00:07:28
servant is Israel look at Isaiah 44: 211
00:07:32
who is a servant Israel look at Isaiah
00:07:36
45:4 Israel can use any Bible you on to
00:07:39
Isaiah 48:20 all the chapters that
00:07:41
introduce these passages in Isaiah 53
00:07:45
have informed us that Isaiah 53 which is
00:07:48
the fourth of these four servant songs
00:07:50
is speaking about the nation of Israel
00:07:52
spoken of in the singular as Abdi as my
00:07:56
servant we want to know 53 and it's
00:07:58
granted if you read the out of context
00:08:01
of course you're not going to know who
00:08:02
it's talking about I would posit to you
00:08:05
that if you read any book lail that has
00:08:08
66 chapters and you jump to the 53rd
00:08:10
you'd have no clue what it's talking
00:08:11
about what do we do we go to Isaiah 54
00:08:13
who's Isaiah 54 talking about it's
00:08:15
talking about clais the nation of Israel
00:08:17
and is singular how is Israel conveyed
00:08:20
in Isaiah 54 clol is conveyed as a woman
00:08:24
who is Barren who suffers who endures
00:08:28
the suffering of a people but God
00:08:30
redeems from the nations of the world
00:08:32
whose weapons will not succeed against
00:08:35
her and God promises as the Waters of
00:08:37
Noah no weapon formed against CL Isel
00:08:40
will succeed we're supposed to believe
00:08:41
the following from the church Isaiah 52
00:08:44
is talking about CL the very last word
00:08:47
before Isaiah 53 meaning the last word
00:08:50
of Isaiah
00:08:52
52:2 is Israel the last word please look
00:08:56
it up for yourself Isaiah 54 is talking
00:08:59
about is Isel again in the singular who
00:09:01
is the who suffering as a result of the
00:09:05
horrible behavior of her enemies and God
00:09:07
redeems
00:09:09
Israel and you are being asked to
00:09:11
believe by Christendom by the church by
00:09:15
the southern baptist by the Roman
00:09:17
Catholic Church by the Greek Orthodox
00:09:18
Church by the Assemblies of God by Jews
00:09:20
for Jesus Isaiah 53 is talking about
00:09:23
Jesus so the context seems to be pretty
00:09:26
clear but before we move on if it's
00:09:29
Israel right by his knowledge this is
00:09:32
Isaiah 53:1 by his knowledge my
00:09:35
righteous servant shall justify many can
00:09:39
we really label
00:09:42
Israel as
00:09:44
righteous were they truly righteous and
00:09:47
then up here in verse 9 because he had
00:09:50
done no violence he as the servant he
00:09:53
had done no violence nor was any deceit
00:09:56
in his mouth I mean it's not like the
00:09:59
children of Israel were completely
00:10:00
blameless they had done violence there
00:10:03
was deceit in their mouths they weren't
00:10:05
completely righteous but Jesus the son
00:10:09
of God was let's listen to what Rabbi
00:10:12
tovia singer has to say about that
00:10:14
because if you go to isaiah3 the servant
00:10:17
who was God's servant that means it's
00:10:19
Israel appears to be there was no deceit
00:10:22
in his mouth does that sound like the
00:10:24
Jews no I can only think of one Jew that
00:10:28
really was sinless and that's Jesus okay
00:10:31
that's the argument it's actually yeah a
00:10:34
fair argument I mean it's fair so the
00:10:38
question always is not what Rabbi singer
00:10:41
thinks what is Rabbi toi singer think
00:10:43
what I think is not important the real
00:10:46
question is what does the bible think
00:10:48
meaning okay how does the Jewish
00:10:51
scriptures
00:10:53
characterize the remant of Israel now
00:10:56
the REM important memo here B big add up
00:11:00
Isaiah 53 and all the chapters that
00:11:02
introduce it are not referring to all
00:11:04
the Jews of God's faithful servant after
00:11:07
all in Isaiah 49 verse 6 we are told
00:11:11
that the servant which is the righteous
00:11:14
remnant of the Jewish people is called
00:11:16
to bring the rest of the tribes of Jacob
00:11:20
meaning the remnant who was loyal to God
00:11:23
is given a mandate to be an ear of
00:11:26
lighted Nations and to bring the tri of
00:11:29
Jacob the rest of the Jews who are not
00:11:31
observant this is not anybody these are
00:11:34
the Jews who have taken up the mantle to
00:11:37
be God's loyal servant and to be like
00:11:40
Abraham Our Father who God loves which
00:11:44
is Isaiah
00:11:46
4189 please please read it for yourself
00:11:48
but that's the question it's a really
00:11:50
good question but the answer is in
00:11:54
because as it turns out we have many
00:11:57
descriptions of the righteous
00:11:59
remnant of the Jewish people in the
00:12:01
Messianic age in the Bible we're really
00:12:04
interested like what is God's opinion
00:12:07
here I would encourage you to go to the
00:12:09
book of Saia Zephaniah chapter 3 and we
00:12:14
can begin with verse 12 this is in
00:12:16
context this is about the punishments
00:12:18
against the Nations who oppress the
00:12:21
righteous REM and and what will happen
00:12:23
to the righteous remnant of Israel these
00:12:25
are the words of Si Zephaniah
00:12:29
I will leave in your midst a Meek and
00:12:32
humble people and they will trust in the
00:12:36
name of the Lord the remnant of Israel
00:12:39
shall do no unrighteousness there will
00:12:42
be no lies spoken by them nor will a
00:12:47
deceitful tongue found in their mouth
00:12:50
for they shall feed their flocks and lie
00:12:54
down and no one will make them afraid
00:12:58
single oh Daughter of Zion shout oh
00:13:00
Israel wow be glad and rejoice with all
00:13:03
your heart oh daughter of Jerusalem what
00:13:07
does that sound like there'll be no
00:13:10
deceit found in the mouths of the
00:13:13
remnant of Israel a people who God will
00:13:17
leave in the midst and will protect them
00:13:20
does that sound familiar to you so I
00:13:22
want to say this to you if you've been
00:13:25
struggling with your faith in your life
00:13:28
and you see a prophecy like that that
00:13:31
matches Isaiah 53 perfectly please open
00:13:35
up the Bible for yourself isn't there
00:13:39
time now to say you know what Hashem I
00:13:42
really want you in my life I really
00:13:45
trust you I love you I adore you and I
00:13:48
put my faith in you be a part of that
00:13:51
righteous Remnant wow that was a very
00:13:55
good answer that okay this makes me even
00:13:58
more curious as to what Dr Brown has to
00:14:03
say about Isaiah 53 because I think
00:14:05
tovia singer made a very strong argument
00:14:10
here so without further Ado Dr Michael
00:14:13
Brown so it would seen that Rabbi singer
00:14:16
makes a great case in the rabbis years
00:14:19
made a great case to County missionary
00:14:20
saying that the servant of the Lord in
00:14:22
this section of Isaiah is
00:14:24
Israel well we know the servant of the
00:14:27
Lord in Isaiah 53 is righteous
00:14:29
we know the servant of the Lord
00:14:31
specifically it says there there's no
00:14:32
deceit on his lips we know that he does
00:14:35
no violence we know that he is dying for
00:14:38
the sins of others right so is it
00:14:41
referring to the nation of Israel as a
00:14:43
whole can that even fit no it's not ref
00:14:46
Isel is rightous as a nation can that
00:14:49
then fit that Israel is dying for the
00:14:52
the sins of others wouldn't Israel be
00:14:53
exalted and raised up according to the
00:14:55
blessings of the Torah Israel wouldn't
00:14:57
be an exile Israel wouldn't be suffering
00:14:58
Israel wouldn't be beaten down by its
00:15:00
enemies is be ruling and reigning well
00:15:02
let's put that aside for a minute well
00:15:04
let me pause it there before he puts it
00:15:05
to the side uh Dr to tovia singer's
00:15:08
argument was that the servant is the
00:15:11
righteous remnant of Israel so you have
00:15:14
Israel and then you have the righteous
00:15:16
remnant of Israel so it's not talking
00:15:20
about the servant is not talking about
00:15:22
Israel as a whole as we just saw and and
00:15:25
let's look at the verses that Rabbi
00:15:27
singer didn't talk
00:15:29
I'll give you summary then we'll look at
00:15:31
some specifically start here in Isaiah
00:15:35
4242 it is stated that servant Israel
00:15:38
was exiled because of sin so how then is
00:15:41
Israel dying for the sins of others if
00:15:42
Israel itself is exiled because of sin
00:15:44
incurring God's Wrath in 438 servant
00:15:47
Israel is blind and deaf in 4322 to 28
00:15:52
Israel fails to call on the Lord in 476
00:15:55
God is angry with Israel in 48 1-6
00:15:58
Israel is guilty again with the Exile
00:15:59
and return foretold and in chap 50:1
00:16:02
God's indictment is forthright for your
00:16:05
iniquities you were sold and for your
00:16:07
transgressions your mother was sent away
00:16:10
and being sold and sent away is
00:16:12
synonymous synonymous with being exiled
00:16:14
okay let's look at some more verses
00:16:16
Isaiah
00:16:18
42: 18 and 19 what's written
00:16:22
there listen you who are deaf you blind
00:16:26
ones look up and see me
00:16:33
who is so blind as my servant so deaf is
00:16:37
the messenger I send who so blind is the
00:16:39
chosen one so blind is the servant of
00:16:41
the Lord so here the nation of Israel
00:16:44
deaf dumb
00:16:47
blind how is this then the righteous
00:16:49
servant who is suffering for the sins of
00:16:51
others the righteous servant that does
00:16:53
no violence and has no deceit on his
00:16:56
lips isah 42 saying he's saying if the
00:17:00
right if if the servant is the righteous
00:17:03
remnant of Israel how is the righteous
00:17:05
remnant of Israel blind and
00:17:10
deaf I mean not not physically blind and
00:17:14
deaf
00:17:15
right that's a good point that's a very
00:17:17
good point vers six and seven what does
00:17:20
it say so I think what he's going to say
00:17:21
I think what he's trying to say is
00:17:23
Isaiah 53 the servant in Isaiah 53 is
00:17:27
different than let's say the servant in
00:17:29
Isaiah 42 I the Lord in my grace have
00:17:32
summoned you and I have grasped you by
00:17:34
the hand I created you and appointed you
00:17:35
a covenant people a light of Nations
00:17:37
opening eyes deprived of light rescuing
00:17:40
prisoners from confinement from the
00:17:42
dungeon those who sit in darkness and a
00:17:44
more accurate translation would be a
00:17:46
covenant for the people a light of
00:17:49
Nations God is sending this servant in
00:17:52
Isaiah 42 to Open the Eyes of the blind
00:17:56
the exact same Hebrew terminology okay
00:17:58
wait a second second so Isaiah 42 has is
00:18:01
referring to two different servants we
00:18:03
got to look at Isaiah 42 real quick yeah
00:18:05
right here this is Isaiah 42 I the Lord
00:18:08
have called you in righteousness and I
00:18:10
will hold your hand I will keep you and
00:18:13
give you as a covenant to the people as
00:18:15
a light to the Gentiles to open blind
00:18:18
eyes to bring out prisoners from the
00:18:20
prison okay so this who is this servant
00:18:25
because later on here
00:18:28
the servant is
00:18:31
blind so we have two different servants
00:18:34
being referred to here in Isaiah 42 so
00:18:36
now the question is who are the
00:18:39
servants is one the righteous remnant of
00:18:42
Israel and the one and the other one the
00:18:44
rest or is it or is one of them Jesus
00:18:50
and the other Israel you know what do
00:18:52
you all think let let me know your
00:18:54
thoughts Down Below in the comment
00:18:55
section but let's continue with what Dr
00:18:57
Brown has to say God is sending this
00:19:00
servant in Isaiah 42 to Open the Eyes of
00:19:04
the blind the exact same Hebrew
00:19:05
terminology he sent that servant to Open
00:19:08
the Eyes of the blind but servant Israel
00:19:10
was
00:19:11
blind that's why many commentators even
00:19:15
rabbi tradition understands that the
00:19:17
servant in Isaiah 42 is not the nation
00:19:19
of Israel but the
00:19:23
Messiah oh could it be that there are
00:19:27
different servants mentioned in Isaiah
00:19:29
41-53 the answer is you better believe
00:19:32
it and the traditional rabbis agree
00:19:36
let's take a look at Isaiah 42 okay
00:19:39
verse
00:19:41
one so we got
00:19:44
mulat this is my servant whom I uphold
00:19:47
My Chosen One in whom I Delight what
00:19:50
does the tarum say the traditional
00:19:53
Aramaic translation paraphrase what does
00:19:55
the tarum say to Isaiah 421 let's take a
00:19:58
look
00:19:59
ha of
00:20:00
M behold my servant the Messiah this is
00:20:05
what the tarum says the tarum the
00:20:08
traditional Aramaic translation
00:20:11
paraphrase that is read and chanted in
00:20:13
synagogues and has been through the
00:20:14
centuries and so on what does it say so
00:20:17
it's an interpretation it is the Messiah
00:20:20
the servant of the Lord in Isaiah 42 is
00:20:23
not the nation of Israel is not the
00:20:25
righteous Remnant it is the messiah how
00:20:29
about radok Rabbi David Kimi one of the
00:20:32
leading rinic commentators highly
00:20:34
revered in traditional Judaism what does
00:20:37
he say to the verse behold my servant
00:20:40
Zia
00:20:42
kashu this is King Messiah as we have
00:20:48
interpreted so here Rabbi singer is told
00:20:51
us that the servant in these passages is
00:20:54
only Israel or the righteous Remnant
00:20:55
within Israel we here I have Jewish
00:20:58
tradition for Isaiah 421 saying the
00:21:00
servant there is none other than the
00:21:03
Messiah let's go to Isaiah
00:21:06
491 Isaiah 49 verse1 it says
00:21:15
this listen oh coastlands to me and give
00:21:18
heed o Nations ofar the Lord appointed
00:21:20
me before I was born he named me while I
00:21:22
was in my mother's wom and he goes on
00:21:24
and says God says to me you are my
00:21:26
servant Israel so who is this one that
00:21:29
is called Israel a few verses down in
00:21:31
verse three who is this is it the nation
00:21:34
is it the righteous Remnant let's take a
00:21:36
look at rebic commentary let's see what
00:21:38
iban Ezra says to Isaiah
00:21:41
491 where it says shimu listen to me he
00:21:47
says these are the words of the Prophet
00:21:51
so he doesn't understand this to refer
00:21:53
to Israel's the whole or the righteous
00:21:54
Remnant he says Rabbi singer is wrong
00:21:57
this is referring to the prophets so we
00:21:59
have Rabbi interpretation saying the
00:22:01
servant of the Lord in Isaiah 42 is the
00:22:03
Messiah rabbi tradition saying the
00:22:05
servant of the Lord in Isaiah 49 and
00:22:07
there are others who say the same thing
00:22:08
in rinic Tradition it is the prophet
00:22:10
himself and the prophet is called Israel
00:22:12
because he represents the nation the
00:22:14
destiny of the nation is is part of his
00:22:16
Destiny how about Isaiah
00:22:20
50:4 there the prophet says that the
00:22:22
Lord has given me the tongue of the
00:22:24
learn and and then goes on to be
00:22:26
referred to as God's servant in this
00:22:29
very passage and and what does radak say
00:22:32
again these are just leading rabida
00:22:34
commentaries he says this commenting on
00:22:36
the
00:22:37
words the Lord has given me the the
00:22:40
tongue of the
00:22:43
Learned Isaiah was saying the Lord has
00:22:46
sent
00:22:48
me so he's saying rad is saying that
00:22:53
this is Isaiah talking about himself so
00:22:56
let's step back for a minute toia singer
00:22:59
claims I get what he's doing but it's
00:23:01
not as compelling to me because he's
00:23:03
just looking at other commentaries and
00:23:05
saying what they how they interpret how
00:23:07
they read the actual text I wish he
00:23:09
actually went to the text himself you
00:23:13
know instead of read from com of the
00:23:14
Lord in Isaiah 53 must be Israel or
00:23:17
specifically the righteous Remnant
00:23:19
within Israel why
00:23:22
because that's how the servant is always
00:23:25
referenced in these chapters false yeah
00:23:28
yeah I get that his example isaah Isaiah
00:23:31
42 according to rebic tradition is the
00:23:34
Messiah not all rebic tradition but
00:23:35
major rebic tradition the servant Isaiah
00:23:38
42 is the Messiah the servant in Isaiah
00:23:40
49 servant Isaiah 50 is the prophet
00:23:42
himself so here you have leading rebi
00:23:45
tradition telling you no it's not always
00:23:47
the nation as a whole and clearly we see
00:23:50
that the nation as a whole in these
00:23:52
chapters is guilty in God's sight is is
00:23:54
in Exile because of sin is under
00:23:56
judgment because of sin and therefore
00:23:58
cannot not die in the place of others or
00:24:00
take the place of others or suffer for
00:24:02
the sins of others because they are
00:24:03
suffering for their own sins let's take
00:24:06
a look then specifically at Isaiah chter
00:24:09
53 verse 99 and I I want to focus on on
00:24:14
the end of the verse which says even
00:24:16
though he's going to suffer this and
00:24:17
criminals death and all of
00:24:21
this though he had done no
00:24:24
Injustice and had spoken no falsehood
00:24:28
so the question is how can this apply to
00:24:32
the nation of Israel as a whole when
00:24:34
Israel was in Exile because of its sin
00:24:36
right the answer from Rabbi singer is
00:24:38
that this is the righteous Remnant
00:24:40
within Israel and to prove that it was
00:24:43
the righteous Remnant he points to
00:24:45
Zephaniah let's take a look at this
00:24:48
Zephaniah
00:24:50
verse let's see
00:25:03
remnant of Israel shall do no wrong and
00:25:05
speak no falsehood a deceitful tongue
00:25:08
shall not be in their mouths only such
00:25:09
as these shall graze and lie down with
00:25:11
them with none to trouble them what's
00:25:14
that got to do with Isaiah 53 this is a
00:25:16
future prophecy here let's take a look
00:25:19
Isaiah uh excuse me Zephaniah chapter 3
00:25:22
beginning in verse one ah sullied
00:25:25
polluted overbearing City she's been
00:25:27
disobedient she's learned the no lesson
00:25:28
she's not trust in the Lord is not drawn
00:25:30
near to her God you just keep reading
00:25:33
through the the officials within her are
00:25:35
roaring lines her judges are wolves of
00:25:37
the step they leave no bone until mour
00:25:38
her prophets are Reckless faithless
00:25:40
fellows are priests profane with is Holy
00:25:42
they give perverse rulings but the Lord
00:25:44
inter midst is righteous he does no
00:25:46
wrong okay then it goes on from there
00:25:47
God's going to bring judgment this is a
00:25:49
future passage this has not happened yet
00:25:52
this is not Israel this is not the
00:25:53
righteous Remnant this is in the future
00:25:56
when God brings repentance to the nation
00:25:57
that the will be like this but it's not
00:25:59
like this
00:26:01
now that in fact is the reality here's
00:26:04
something else to take a look at look at
00:26:06
Isaiah 53 verse 5 speaking of this
00:26:10
servant which we say of course is mhia
00:26:13
of course it's
00:26:19
[Music]
00:26:21
Yeshua he was wounded because of our
00:26:23
sins crushed because of our iniquities
00:26:26
he bore the chastisement that made us
00:26:27
whole
00:26:28
and by his bruises we were healed now we
00:26:33
are often told that it is the righteous
00:26:37
Remnant that was bearing the sins of the
00:26:39
Nations the righteous Remnant that was
00:26:42
suffering for the Nations and by
00:26:44
Israel's wounds those nations would be
00:26:47
healed not the not Israel as a whole but
00:26:50
the righteous Remnant see this is the
00:26:52
argument that that the counter
00:26:54
missionaries would give us the righteous
00:26:56
Remnant suffered in the Nations yes
00:26:59
Israel's a whole was guilty but the
00:27:00
righteous Remnant was not and when the
00:27:02
righteous Remnant suffered it brought
00:27:04
Redemption it brought healing it brought
00:27:06
atonement to the Nations false not what
00:27:09
scripture says take a look Book of
00:27:12
Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 11 God says
00:27:16
this to his
00:27:18
people for I'm with you to deliver you
00:27:21
declares the Lord then he says this I
00:27:23
will make an end of all the nations
00:27:27
among which I disperse you but I will
00:27:29
not make an end of you I will not leave
00:27:31
you unpunished but will chastise you in
00:27:33
measure what's the point of this it is a
00:27:35
consistent theme in the Hebrew Bible
00:27:37
that God will punish the Nations that
00:27:40
judged his own people that they overdid
00:27:42
the punishment they went too far and God
00:27:44
was going to judge them what happened to
00:27:47
the ancient Kingdom of Assyria gone what
00:27:50
happened to the ancient Kingdom of
00:27:51
Babylon gone the Nations that exiled and
00:27:55
oppressed Israel and the Jewish people
00:27:56
were destroyed the sufferings of the
00:27:59
righteous Remnant among those Nations
00:28:01
did not lead to healing for the Nations
00:28:04
but judgment on those
00:28:06
Nations there's only one who died in our
00:28:09
place only one who is perfectly
00:28:12
righteous only one who died so we could
00:28:15
live it is Mela mashiach it is King
00:28:19
Messiah of course Isaiah 53 speaks about
00:28:23
him and of course there is nothing in
00:28:25
the larger context that tells you
00:28:27
anything differently
00:28:28
start reading Isaiah 40 right up through
00:28:31
chapter 54 or 55 read it through keep
00:28:35
reading it looking at it ask God for
00:28:37
insight and you will see all the more it
00:28:40
speaks of one and can only speak of one
00:28:42
Jesus Yeshua the Messiah wow okay this
00:28:46
was really good I'm going to have to
00:28:48
take Dr Brown's uh advice and go through
00:28:51
these chapters again on my own because
00:28:55
there's a lot covered here I think both
00:28:58
parties came with strong points they
00:28:59
were respectful and Rabbi tovia singer
00:29:03
kind of blew my mind with what he was
00:29:05
saying but then Dr Brown his responses
00:29:07
he he responded to pretty much all the
00:29:09
points that uh that tovia singer brought
00:29:13
up man so this is definitely something
00:29:15
I'm going to look into further but do
00:29:17
you lean more towards what tovia brabi
00:29:20
tovia singer had to say or do you lean
00:29:21
more towards what Dr Michael Brown uh
00:29:25
had to say let me know all your thoughts
00:29:28
Insight Down Below in the comment
00:29:30
section because I'm going to definitely
00:29:31
be there in the comment section reading
00:29:33
them as well and I'll see you all in the
00:29:35
next video take care bye-bye
