ISAIAH 52

GOD’S SERVANT WILL SUFFER FOR THE REDEMPTION OF HIS PEOPLE

Isaiah wants the Israelites to anticipate their redemption, because God is preparing the salvation of His people. God will lead His people into a better, restored, new Jerusalem.

To pay for the price of sin, God’s servant will be tortured and marred, becoming disfigured beyond recognition. Isaiah states that this suffering servant would be pierced for the transgressions of many nations, foretelling the brutal death of Jesus on the cross.
