Isaiah:

049:001

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Now I ask you all, read the above verse and ask yourself whom is this speaking of?  Do you think it is speaking of the nation Israel?  How was Israel's mouth a sharp sword? If you think this is old Israel, read on:

Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

Who is speaking above?  Who is saying, "I have laboured in vain?"  Is this the nation of Israel saying they spent their strength for nothing and in vain?  Is that what you think?  Did you have any idea that Jesus ever felt this way?  Do you really Know Him?

And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

Who did the LORD form to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to himself?  Who did this?

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Who is speaking to this 'Israel', God's servant, in the above verse?  God said to Jesus I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation unto the end of the earth.  Now did God say this of old nation of Israel?  Were they salvation to the end of the earth?  Think!!  Who is God saying this to?

Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

Now who did God give to be a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, and to cause to inherit the desolate heritages?  What this done by the nation of Israel?  Think!!

That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

Who set the prisoners free?  Israel or Jesus?

Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth.

Now did God say the above to Israel, the nation?  When?  Where did all these people gather themselves together to the Jews?  Or was it to Jesus?  Did old Israel clothe themselves with all these people and bind them on themselves, or was this Jesus?

The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

Did old Israel lose some children and then find some more, or was this Jesus finding children among Gentiles?  Are you sure?  Better start searching the Scriptures as Jesus commanded us to do.  Is the Word of God about old Israel or about Jesus?

Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

When was old Israel left alone?  This is Jesus at Calvary!  Jesus lost the old covenant children, was left desolate, smitten of God, removed from the earth to hell fire, and then resurrected and found many more new children,  of grace.  Jesus was left all alone at Calvary.  When will you see the Word is about Jesus.  Jesus was God's servant.  Jesus is Israel!!!!

Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

Jesus' sons came from the Gentiles!  His daughters came out of the Gentiles.  God did this for His true Servant, Jesus!  We brought His sons and daughters forth from among our own people of faith.  We brought them on our arms and shoulders.

And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

We are kings and priests to God.  We [people of Grace, faith] nursed His Children with the Word.  We bow and lick up the dust of Jesus' feet with all joy!  Most Gladly will I lick up any dust from His glorious feet!  God did this for His true Son, Jesus!

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

God promised his true Servant, Jesus, here, that he would save Jesus' children and contend with all who contend with Jesus.

And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Now for some glory......! God said I will feed them that oppress Jesus with their own FLESH.  What is that?  Are they going to eat their own skin?  Some people are foolish enough to think the Word was made into human skin!

No!  It is spiritual flesh = Word.  It is spiritual food!  So instead of eating the flesh = words of Jesus, these rebels will eat [spiritual food] their own thoughts.  God will give them their own thoughts.  Their fears will come upon them.  They feed of their own doctrine.  They are spiritually drunk on their own lies!

Know what?  Every church today is spoken of right here >>>they are 'eating' their own 'flesh' or words = made up  junk doctrine.

Is this chapter about old Israel or Jesus?  Do you know?  If you think it is old Israel, then take all of the above verses and show how old Israel could fit this.  How are they salvation to the entire earth?

You are blaspheming if you say this is anyone other than God's true SERVANT, JESUS CHRIST.
