Isaiah
Chapter 42
{Doctrine
of Election -Jesus was Elected- God the Father is speaking}
1~~
Behold my servant {Jesus Christ},
Whom
I uphold . . .
My
elect
{Jesus is elected by God the Father},
in
Whom My soul delights.
I have put My spirit upon Him.
He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
{Note: Jesus (in his humanity) - became a servant in order to die for all humans -- serving them by dying for us. And, God the Father sent the Holy Spirit to look after Jesus in the hypostatic union.}
2
He shall not cry, nor lift up,
nor
cause His voice to be heard in the street.
{Note: This describes when Jesus went to the cross, He did not cry out until the sins of the world were imputed to Him and judged. Until that time, He did not cry out.}
3
A bruised reed shall he not break,
and
the smoking flax shall he not quench.
He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4
He shall not fail nor be discouraged,
till
He has set judgment in the earth.
And the isles shall wait for His law.
5~~Thus
said God/'El . . . Jehovah/God . . .
Who
created
{bara' - to make out of nothing}
the
heavens,
and
stretched them out.
He spread out the earth and its vegetation.
Who
gives the 'spark of life'/'breathe of life' {n@shamah}
to
the people on it
and
breathe/life/spirit {ruwach}
to
those who Walk on it.
6``
I Jehovah/God have called you in righteousness,
and
will hold your hand,
and
will keep you,
and
give you for a covenant of the people,
for
a Light to the Gentiles.
{Note: This verse describes the purpose of Israel. They were a new race created by God to 'bring the Light of the Word/God to the Gentiles. Whenever they went out under the 5th cycle of discipline, it was always related to their going away from God and His Word. Then God would raise up a Gentile nation as His client nation to carry the Light to the Gentiles in their place. This will continue now until the 2nd Advent of Christ when Israel will be restored.}
7
To open the blind eyes,
to
bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and
those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8`` I am Jehovah/God.
That is My name.
And
My glory I will not give to another,
neither
My praise to graven images.
9
Behold, the former things are come to pass,
and
new things do I declare . . .
before
they spring forth
I
tell you of them.
10
Sing unto Jehovah/God a new song,
and
His praise from the end of the earth,
you
who go down to the sea,
and
all who are therein . . .
the
isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11
Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice,
the
villages that Kedar does inhabit.
Let
the inhabitants of the rock sing,
let
them shout from the top of the mountains.
12
Let them give glory unto Jehovah/God,
and
declare His praise in the islands.
13~~ Jehovah/God shall go like a warrior.
He shall arouse motivation like a man of war.
He will run like a man.
He shall ask you to lift up a war cry.
He shall prevail against His enemies.
14 I have long time held My peace.
I have been still, and refrained Myself.
Now I will cry like a 'woman in child birth'/'travailing woman'.
I will destroy and devour at once.
15~~I
{God} will lay waste of the mountains and hills,
and
dry up all their herbs;
and
I will make the rivers islands,
and
I will dry up the pools.
16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I
will lead them in paths that they have not known.
I
will make darkness light before them,
and
crooked things straight.
These
things will I do unto them,
and
not forsake them.
17
They shall be turned back,
they
shall be greatly ashamed . . .
who
trust in graven images,
that
say to the molten images, You are our 'elohiym/gods.
18
Hear, you deaf;
and
look, you blind,
that
you may see.
19 Who is blind, but My servant?
Or deaf, as My messenger who I sent?
Who
is blind as he who is perfect,
and
blind as Jehovah/God's servant?
20
Seeing many things, but you observe not;
opening
the ears, but he hears not.
21 Jehovah/God is well pleased for his righteousness' sake.
He will magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled.
They
are all of them snared in holes,
and
they are hid in prison houses.
They
are for a prey, and none delivers . . .
for
a spoil, and none said, Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to this?
Who
will 'hear, listen and obey' {shama`}
and
hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers?
Did not Jehovah/God, He against whom we have sinned?
For
they would not Walk in His Ways,
neither
were they obedient unto His law.
25
Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger,
and
the strength of battle
and
it has set him on fire round about,
Yet
he knew not; and it burned him,
Yet
he laid it not to heart.
