Jump to Previous Arm Believed Credence Ears Faith Heard Message Report Revealed Unveiled WordJump to Next Arm Believed Credence Ears Faith Heard Message Report Revealed Unveiled WordIsaiah 53 1. The prophet, complaining of incredulity, excuses the scandal of the cross4. By the benefit of his passion 10. And the good success thereof Who has believed our message? This opening phrase of Isaiah 53:1 sets the tone for the entire chapter, which is often referred to as the "Suffering Servant" passage. The Hebrew word for "believed" is "aman," which conveys a sense of trust, faithfulness, and certainty. It is the same root from which we derive the word "Amen," signifying agreement and truth. The rhetorical question posed here underscores the incredulity and disbelief that the message of the Servant would face. Historically, this disbelief is evident in the rejection of Jesus Christ by many of His contemporaries, despite the fulfillment of prophecies and the performance of miracles. The "message" refers to the prophetic revelation of the Messiah's suffering and redemptive work, a message that was countercultural and unexpected, challenging the prevailing expectations of a conquering king. And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? (1) Who hath believed our report? . . .--The question has been variously interpreted as coming from the lips of the prophet or of Israel. The former view commends itself most, and the unusual plural is explained by his mentally associating with himself the other prophets, probably his own disciples, who were delivering the same message. The implied answer to the question may be either "None," or, "Not all." St. Paul (Romans 10:16) adopts the latter. Verse 1. - Who hath believed? Isaiah felt that he spoke, mainly, to unbelieving ears (see above, Isaiah 28:9-15; Isaiah 29:10-15; Isaiah 30:9-11; Isaiah 42:23, etc.). The unbelief was likely to be intensified when so marvellous a prophecy was delivered as that which he was now commissioned to put forth. Still, of course, there is rhetorical exaggeration in the question, which seems to imply that no one would believe. Our report; literally, that which has been heard by us. But the word is used technically for a prophetic revelation (see Isaiah 28:9, 19; Jeremiah 49:14). Here it would seem to refer especially to the Messianic prophecies delivered by Isaiah. To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? The "arm of the Lord," which has been "made bare in the eyes of all the nations" (Isaiah 52:10), yet requires the eye of faith to see it. Many Jews would not see the working of God's providence in the victories of Cyrus, or in the decision to which he came to restore the Jews to their own country. Unbelief can always assign the most plainly providential arrangements to happy accident.Parallel Commentaries ...
