![]() Isa 52:15 He shall likewise startle many nations. Isa 52:14 As many were astonished at You – so the disfigurement beyond any man’s and His form beyond the sons of men. ![]() Isa 52:13 Behold, My Servant shall work wisely, He shall be exalted and lifted up and very high. Now, let us read Isa 52:13-15 and Isa 53 together in their context: The exaltation of the Servant of Yehovah is the theme of the prophecy which follows in Isaiah 53. Thus said the God, Yehovah, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it: “ I, Yehovah, have called You in righteousness, and I strengthen Your hand and guard You, and give You for a covenant to a people, for a light to the nations ,” (Isa 42:1-6) *See Isa 11:1-2.Įven apart from Isaiah 42, this very first verse contains a condensed explanation of the entire theme in Isa 53. He does not become weak or crushed, until He has established right-ruling in the earth. He brings forth right-ruling in accordance with truth.

I have put My Spirit upon Him* He brings forth right-ruling to the nations. ![]() Most of the commentators agree that the words “Behold, my servant” in Isa 52:13 commence a new section, like behold my servant in Isa 42:1. But the glorified One, the Servant of Yehovah, whose inhuman sufferings are beyond human comprehension, is infinitely exalted above all outward appearance.īut, what was the outward appearance of the Messiah and can we know it? How did the Messiah look like when He walked on the earth? Isaiah on the outward appearance of the Messiah The body in which He was born was of no royal form because the suffering of death was the destine of the Lamb of YHVH, even from His mother’s womb. Unattractive in appearance He no doubt was in the days of His flesh, but He is internally beautiful in His glorification at the resurrection. The Bible movies portrait Him as a long haired, blond with blue or green eyes, Anglo-Saxon Caucasian. However, the modern perception of Him is as having quite an ideal appearance. ![]() The prophecy of YHVH concerning His Messiah pictured Him as unattractive in His outward appearance. What was the outward appearance of the Messiah, when He walked on the earth, because we are given no account on how Yeshua looked like in the Apostolic writings? What was the Outward Appearance of the Messiah? ![]()
