Matthew
The Case Of The Unidentified Servant - Part 2
Continued from the Previous
Page
6:8 "Then I heard the voice of my Lord saying, "Whom shall
I send? Who
will go for us?" And I said, "HERE AM I: SEND ME." And
He said,
"Go, say to that people:"
(So Isaiah has been selected to give a message to Israel, Watson).
6:13 "But while a tenth part yet remains in it, IT SHALL REPENT.
It
shall be ravaged like the terebinth and the oak, of which STUMPS
are left even when they are felled: ITS STUMP SHALL BE A
HOLY SEED."(So Israel will be decimated but a few will survive
and repent and serve some holy purpose).
20:3 "
Just as My servant Isaiah" (Looks like you
were right about
Isaiah, Watson).
41:8 "But you, Israel, My servant," (Okay, that's one
Watson. Let's keep
track of how many times Israel is called "servant").
41:9 "
To whom I said: You are My servant; (Two).
42:1 "This is My servant, whom I uphold,
My chosen one, in whom I delight.
I have put My spirit upon him,
He shall teach the true way to the nations.
He shall not cry out or shout aloud," (Three)
42:6 "I the LORD, in My grace have summoned you,
And I have grasped you by the hand.
I created you, and appointed you
A COVENANT PEOPLE, A LIGHT OF NATIONS-
Opening eyes deprived of light,"(It's clear that the servant
described
in 42:1 is Israel).
42:19 "Who is so blind as My servant, (Four)
So deaf as the messenger I send?
Who is so blind as the chosen one,
So blind as the servant of the LORD" (Five)
42:21 "The LORD desires His (servant's) vindication,
That he may magnify and glorify (His) Teaching."
(This Isaiah chap seems to be saying Watson that a FORMERLY
sinful Israel will BECOME righteous and serve as a good example
for the nations).
43:10 "
My servant, whom I have chosen." (Six)
44:1 "But hear, now, O Jacob My servant,
Israel whom I have chosen!" (Seven)
44:2 "
Fear not, My servant Jacob,
Jeshurun whom I have chosen," (Eight)
44:21 "Remember these things, O Jacob
For you, O Israel, are My servant:" (Nine)
44:21 "
I fashioned you, you are My servant-
O Israel, never forget Me." (Ten)
44:26 "But confirm the word of My servant
And fulfill the prediction of My messengers." (Eleven)
45:4 "For the sake of My servant Jacob,
Israel My chosen one," (Twelve)
48:16 "
And now the Lord God has sent me, endowed with His
spirit"
(It would seem Watson that Isaiah is the messenger or servant to
Israel).
48:21 "Say: "The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!"
(Thirteen).
49:
The LORD appointed me before I was born,
And He said to me, "You are My servant, Israel in whom I glory"
AND NOW THE LORD HAS RESOLVED-
HE WHO FORMED ME IN THE WOMB TO BE HIS
SERVANT-
TO BRING BACK JACOB TO HIMSELF,
THAT ISRAEL MAY BE RESTORED TO HIM.
AND I HAVE BEEN HONORED IN THE SIGHT OF THE
LORD,
MY GOD HAS BEEN MY STRENGTH.
FOR HE HAS SAID:
"IT IS TOO LITTLE THAT YOU SHOULD BE MY SERVANT
IN THAT I RAISE UP THE TRIBES OF JACOB
AND RESTORE THE SURVIVORS OF ISRAEL:
I WILL ALSO MAKE YOU A LIGHT OF NATIONS,
THAT MY SALVATION MAY REACH THE ENDS OF THE
EARTH."
(Ahaah. So Isaiah is the servant to Israel and Israel is the servant to
the nations).
50:4 "The Lord GOD gave me a skilled tongue,
To know how to speak timely words to the weary." (Isaiah)
50:10 "Who among you reveres the LORD
And heeds the voice of His servant?- (Isaiah)
52:13 "Indeed, My servant shall prosper," (Fourteen)
