Isaiah 50
The Divorce
Isaiah 50:1 Thus says the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ):
“Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce,
Whom I have put away?
Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
For your iniquities, you have sold yourselves,
And for your transgressions, your mother has been put away.
The Future Redemption
Isaiah 50:2 Why, when I came, was there no man?
Why, when I called, was there none to answer?
Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea,
I make the rivers a wilderness;
Their fish stink because there is no water,
And die of thirst.
Isaiah 50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness,
And I make sackcloth their covering.”
The First Advent of the Jewish Redeemer
Isaiah 50:4 “The Lord God (‘ăḏōnāy yᵊhōvâ) has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear
To hear as the learned ones (the scholars).
- Luke 2:41-49 The Boy Jesus Amazes the Scholars
His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it; but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day’s journey, and sought Him among their relatives and acquaintances. So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously.”
And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
Isaiah 50:5 The Lord God (‘ăḏōnāy yᵊhōvâ) has opened My ear;
And I was not rebellious,
Nor did I turn away.
- John 5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous-, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
- Matthew 26:42 He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
Isaiah 50:6 I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.
- John 19:1 The Soldiers Mock Jesus
So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. - Mark 10:34 and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.”
Isaiah 50:7 “For the Lord God (‘ăḏōnāy yᵊhōvâ) will help Me;
Therefore I will not be disgraced;
Therefore I have set My face like a flint,
And I know that I will not be ashamed.
- Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Future Millennium when Jesus Rules on Earth
Isaiah 50:8 He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is My adversary (Lit. master of My judgment)?
Let him come near Me.
Isaiah 50:9 Surely the Lord God (‘ăḏōnāy yᵊhōvâ) will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
Indeed they (The Jews who rejected Jesus and the Romans who gambled for His garments) they will all grow old like a garment;
The moth will eat them up.
The Fire of the Lord!
Isaiah 50:10 “Who among you fears the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ)?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who walks in darkness
And has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ)
And rely upon his God (‘ĕlōhîm).
Isaiah 50:11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
This you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down in torment.
