 Raised and lifted up; appearance so disfigured
|
Prophecy . . . "See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Just as there were many who were appalled at him--his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man andhis form marred
beyond human likeness--" (Isaiah 52:13-14)
The Messiah will polarize people. Of interest; He will be raised and lifted up. His
body will be utterly destroyed and hard to recognize. Examine again; why would the Messiah be spoken of by Isaiah in 700 B.C.
as someone marred beyond recognition? A Hebrew prophet would speak of the Messiah in this way...isn't that interesting?
Fulfillment . . . "(The chief priests and
the whole Sanhedrin)…spit in his face and struck him with their fists. Others
slapped him"…"(Pilate) had Jesus flogged."…"gathered the
whole company of soldiers around him. They stripped him…and twisted together a crown of thorns and put
it on his head…They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head
again and again."…"It was the third hour when they crucified him."
(Matthew 26:67, Matthew
27:26-31, Mark 15:25)
Beaten, flogged (flesh torn apart), clubbed and crucified!
