Isaiah 52, 53

Isaiah 52, 53

“From every text in the Bible there is a road to Jesus Christ.” C. H. Spurgeon.

From Isaiah 52:8, “…when the LORD shall bring again Zion”, the road to Jesus Christ is the waste places of Jerusalem on Zion, on the Passover of Yahweh from Egypt through Babylon... the road to Jesus Christ from the Table to the Tree, on the fourteenth day of the First Month when they killed the Passover of Yahweh.

From Isaiah 52:9, “…Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem”, the road to Jesus Christ, is the People of the LORD “comforted”, is, Jerusalem “redeemed”. “Thou stretched out Thy Right Hand .. Thou in Thy Mercy hast led forth the people, the people Thou hast redeemed, whom Thou hast guided in Thy Strength unto The Holy Habitation .. till the people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over which Thou hast purchased. Thou shalt bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Thine Inheritance, The Place Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, The Sanctuary, O Lord, thy hands have established. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. .. Sing ye to the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously…” the road to Christ "on the sixteenth day of .. the First Month the Passover of Yahweh for you.”

Addressing the OP. yes, Jesus the Christ is the Comfort, or "Comforter" to all people. yes, all roads leads to JESUS. Luke 2:25 "And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him".

the "consolation", or the comfort of God People, Jews abd Gentiles. Isaiah 40:1 "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Isaiah 40:2 "Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.

Isaiah 40:3 "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Isaiah 40:4 "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

Isaiah 40:5 "And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it".

Amen, <the comfort of God's People, Jews and Gentiles>-- Jerusalem, God’s Church, is Jesus Christ the Way of the LORD which He prepared through the desert and every rough place and valley. For He, "hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all, her, sins"--the sins of Jerusalem, our sins. "Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare, is accomplished: by Jesus Christ, that her iniquity is pardoned, in Jesus Christ, for He hath received of the LORD'S Hand, double for all her, sins."

“From every text in the Bible there is a road to Jesus Christ.” And that Way, is Jesus Christ Suffering the Passover from the Hand of Yahweh. Jesus Christ suffered God’s anguish and received of the Lord’s sorrow, double for <the comfort of God's People, Jews and Gentiles>.

The Jews and the Romans (gentiles) were indeed just instruments of the Spirit, God, to bring about his will in the suffering of Christ, and his death. Verily THEREFORE, Jesus' death was no <Natural death> but "God gave his Son" and God's Son "offered Himself, Sacrifice" "for the sins of many".

This Saving Truth, Christ's Suffering of the Passover Suffering of Yahweh that brought about God's Eternal Will, Council and Purpose concerning his Elect CAME FROM THE HEART OF GOD and men were <just instruments of the Spirit, God, to bring (it) about>.

Isaiah 52:
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a Man--of sorrows, (The Man) acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised (by us), and we esteemed Him not.
4 Surely He, hath borne our griefs, and He, carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him, stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted (of God).
6 But He was wounded (of God) for our transgressions, He was bruised (of God) for our iniquities: the chastisement (of God) of our peace was upon Him; and with his stripes (of God Proverbs 20:30) we are healed. (1Peter 2:14)

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted (of the LORD), yet He opened not his mouth: He is brought as .. Lamb (of God Leviticus 23:12 John 1:29,36 Genesis 22:8) to the slaughter, and as a sheep (Exodus 12:3) before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison (was resurrected from the grave by God) and from judgement (Suffering dying the death of death AS GOD): WHO shall declare his generation (resurrection BUT GOD)? (Leviticus 16:10) For He was cut off (reaped Leviticus 23:10,22) out of the land of the living (by God): for the transgression of my people was He stricken (of God) with plague.
9 And because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth, He (God) made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He (the LORD) hath put Him to grief: when Thou (LORD) shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand" according to measure the LORD bruised and chastised Him.
11 He (the LORD) shall see of the travail of his (Jesus') soul, and of the travail of his (Jesus') soul shall He (the LORD) be satisfied: by his knowledge shall My Righteous Servant (Christ) justify many; for He, shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I (the LORD GOD) divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the Strong (the Almighty); because He, hath poured out his soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors (by God); and He (Jesus Christ) bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Jesus suffered; God let Jesus suffer at His Almighty Right Hand. "Man can do Me nothing." Psalm 56:4,11; 118:6 John 19:10,11.
