The prophet reveals how sin blocks us from God.
The chapters that immediately follow Isaiah's "suffering servant" song offer a deeper understanding into what matters to YHWH and how He plans to re-establish the world.
The prophecies in the Book of Isaiah have mentioned a suffering servant to be sent by YHWH to save Israel and bring light to the nations, but these two chapters turn a hard corner. See how one of the most respected Jewish authors of antiquity gets uncomfortably accurate about how the servant will suffer and describes events that stir controversy among the faithful around the world to this day.
The Servant's ear is opened morning by morning, and he gives his back to those who beat him without turning away. Then Yahweh calls his discouraged people three times to listen, and cries out for his arm to awake.
