Isaiah 50:6 question

[worshiper70]

It sounds so much like when Christ was going to the cross. But it looks like Isaiah is the one this happened to? Is it?

P.S. you have to keep it short and simple for me please.

Great Question Brother!

But I don't think so, the verse that come to mind is this one.

Luke 6:29

"If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic."

(IMO) Isaiah is not only referencing Jesus Christ, but saying he is going to do as Jesus did and be humble.

Well, I am off to work now, but i look forward to us figuring it out, lol

Sigh, I hate it when people reference Scripture without posting it.

Isaiah 50:6

I gave My back to those who strike Me,

And My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard;

I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting.

No thoughts? Just going to beat poor worshiper with your pan lol

Reading it, it looks like it's happening to Isaiah, and paints a prophetic picture of what Christ would suffer. Prophets often experience a part of Gods heart by going through it, for example the Lord had Hosea marry a prostitute, so he could deeper feel the relationship between God and Israel. In Isaiah, it could be simular, he is beat yet doesn't fight back as an experience to feel what Jesus would feel in taking upon himself our transgressions in Isaiah 53.

Yes it looks both prophetic and happening to Isaiah.

Isa 50:5-6 KJV The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. (6) I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

The bolded reminds me of Hebrews 10:5 "but a body hast thou prepared me:" which is from Hebrew which says ~ "You have dug ears for Me".

This type of prophecy is common. Photo type is one way to look at it. We even saw it with John the Baptist in OT prophecies. Here are a few other prophecies concerning Jesus Christ in the same manner. Yes, these type of prophecies can both be seen as experienced by the OT author as well is a prophecy. Here we go:

<< Isaiah 7 >>

New International Version 1984

10Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.”

12But Ahaz said, “I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test.”

13Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14Therefore the Lord himself will give you^c a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and^d will call him Immanuel.^e 15He will eat curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right. 16But before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste. 17The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah—he will bring the king of Assyria.”

with Luke 1:26-31

<< Jeremiah 31 >>

New International Version 1984

15This is what the Lord says:

“A voice is heard in Ramah,

mourning and great weeping,

Rachel weeping for her children

and refusing to be comforted,

because her children are no more.”

16This is what the Lord says:

“Restrain your voice from weeping

and your eyes from tears,

for your work will be rewarded,”

declares the Lord.

“They will return from the land of the enemy.

17So there is hope for your future,”

with Matthew 2:16-18

<< Hosea 11 >>

New International Version 1984

God’s Love for Israel

1“When Israel was a child, I loved him,

and out of Egypt I called my son.

2But the more I^a called Israel,

the further they went from me.^b

They sacrificed to the Baals

and they burned incense to images.

with 2:14-15

<< Malachi 4 >>

New International Version 1984

5“See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.”

with Matthew 11:13-14

If you need any help with more understanding of these verses please lat me know. There are many more just like them. Some are believed to be three fold, meaning first, a near prophecy, second, a distant prophecy (often in relation to Christ Jesus) and thirdly, a prophecy concerning the fulfillment of the end times.

Though God has taught me much, He has much more to teach me. LOL However, if there is of any way I can be of help please let me know. God bless

PS a couple that are just like your verse in question are Isa 53:1; Ps 41:9; Zech 11:12; Ps 35:11; and several others and in order relates to John 12:37-38; Luke 23:47-48; Matt 26:14; and Mark 15:47

Thanks for the discusion everyone. It seems my first interpretation is popular. It seemed to me when reading it, being Isaiah is a prophet, that it was about both, Thanks again, I enjoyed your replies.

Sorry about the lack of scripture nebula, I was kinda in a rush when i posted it. I don't like a lack of scripture either. And thank you for the pan alignment hahahaha

All in fun! Unfortunately, no thoughts to give. It is not a question I've stumbled upon or thought of before, so I deemed it wiser to sit back and listen rather than opening my mouth with a bunch of un-thought-out babble.
