I believe Jesus had this verse in mind along with others when He said at the end of Matthew 28:20: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." And when He said at the beginning of the book of Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Isaiah 49:6 reads: "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."
And here we are today in 2022! Pretty cool.....
I know that Jews of the Ben Shapiro type would reject this but I would like to know what he and others like him think about what is said here in Isaiah 49:6 that this servant in Isaiah 49 and 42 and 53 are indeed all the same servant noticing all the similarities and can not be the nation of Israel as this "servant" "shouldest" "raise up the tribes of Jacob, and...restore the preserved of Israel" which means this servant can't be Israel or Jacob for they will be restored by this servant. And of course Jesus has been the light to the Gentiles for 2000 plus years!
Just some thoughts and my first post on here in like 20 plus years. I used to use CARM as a biblical mind sharpener in the way past. I wonder if HRG is still around? God bless you all and thought I would post this for fun.
