Foretells of Jesus Bringing Justice to the Gentiles

Isaiah 42:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*[See,] My servant, Whom I [endorse; My chosen,] in Whom My soul [delights.] [Matthew 3:16-17 *And when Jesus was baptized, He went up [immediately] out of the water, & [looked,] & the heavens were opened to Him, & He saw the [Holy] Spirit of God descending like a dove, & lighting upon Him. And [look,] a voice from heaven, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.]

I have put My [Holy] Spirit upon Him, & He shall bring forth judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] to the Gentiles. [Matthew 12:15-18 *But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew Himself from [there,] & great multitudes followed Him, & He healed them all. And He [ordered] them that they shouldn't make Him known: [so] that it might be fulfilled, [what] was spoken by [Isaiah,] the prophet, saying, *Behold My Servant, Whom I have chosen, My Beloved, in Whom My soul is well pleased. I will put My [Holy] Spirit upon Him, & He shall [deliver] judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] to the Gentiles.]

He shall not cry [out,] nor [raise up] His voice to be heard in the street. He shall not break a bruised reed, & He shall not quench smoking flax, & He shall bring forth judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] unto Truth.  [John 14:6 Jesus said to [Thomas,] I Am: the Way, The Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father, [except] by Me.]

*He shall not fail, nor be discouraged, [until] He [has put justice on] the earth; & the [coastal islands] shall wait for His Law. [Genesis 49:10 *The [scepter] shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh [comes,] & the gathering of people shall be to Him.]

The Lord God [says this,] He [Who] created the heavens, & stretched them out, He [Who] spread [out] the earth, & [what comes from] it, He [Who gives] breath to the people upon it, & [life] to [those who] walk [there.]

[Genesis 2:7 And the Lord formed man [from] the dust of the ground, & breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, & man became a living soul.]

In righteousness, I, the Lord, have called You, & will hold Your hand, & will keep You, & will give You [as] a Covenant, [a.k.a. Contract, for] the people, & for a Light [to] the Gentiles. [Matthew 4:14-17 That [what] was spoken by [Isaiah,] the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying, *The land of [Zebulun,] & [Naphtali,] by the [road] of the sea, [in] Galilee of the Gentiles, beyond Jordan.

The people, [who] sat in darkness saw a great Light; & to [those who] sat [in] the shadow of death in the region, Light [has] sprung up. From that time, Jesus began to preach, & to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.]

*To open the blind eyes, to bring out: the prisoners from the prison, & [those who] sit in darkness, out [from] the prison [to their] house. [*Isaiah 49:8-10 The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You. And [on the] day of Salvation, I have helped You, & I will [safeguard] You, & give You for a covenant, [a.k.a. contract, for] the people, to establish the earth, & to cause the desolate heritages [to be] inherited. *[So,] that You may say to the prisoners, Go [out,] & to those in darkness, [Show] yourselves. They shall feed, [a.k.a. eat, by] the [roads,] & their pastures shall be in all high places. *They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat nor the sun [scorch] them: for He, [Who has] mercy on them, shall lead them, & even He shall guide them by the springs of water.]

I Am the Lord. That is My Name; & I will not give My glory to another, [nor] My praise to [carved] images. [Philippians 2:5-11 Let [your] [minds within] you, also be [like that] in Christ Jesus, Who [is] in the [image] of God, & thought it not [a crime] to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, [a.k.a. without status,] & was made in the likeness of men, & took upon [Himself] the [image] of a servant. And being found in [the image like] a man, He humbled Himself, & became obedient [until] death, even the death [on] the cross. *[For this reason,] God [has] also highly exalted Him, & [has] given Him a Name [that] is above every Name. That every knee should bow at the Name of Jesus, of things in heaven, & things [on] earth, & things under the earth. *And [so] that every tongue, [a.k.a. language,] should confess to the glory of God the Father, that Jesus Christ Is Lord.]

[See,] the [previous] things [have already happened,] & I do declare new things, & I tell them [to] you before they [happen.] You [who] go down to the sea, & all [that's within them,] the [coastal islands,] & [its residents,] sing: to the Lord a new song, & His praise from the end of the earth.

Let the wilderness & [its] cities, the villages that Kedar [inhabits,] & the [rock's inhabitants,] lift up their [voices,] & sing, & let them shout from the mountain [tops.] Let them give glory to the Lord, & declare His praise in the [coastal] islands.

The Lord shall go [out] as a mighty man, & He shall stir up jealousy, like a man of war. [Psalm 78:58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, & moved Him to jealousy with their [carved] images.]

He shall cry [out,] [yes,] roar. [Matthew 27:46 *And about the 9th hour, Jesus cried [out,] with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?]

He shall prevail against His enemies. [Acts 1:8-11 But you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit, has] come upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me, both in: Jerusalem, all Judaea, Samaria, & to the [furthest parts] of the earth. And when He had spoken these things, while they [watched,] He was taken up, & a cloud received Him, out of their sight.

And while they looked [steadily] toward heaven as He went up, & [saw] 2 men stood by them in white [garments; who] also said, You men of Galilee, why [do] you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, [Who] is taken up from you into heaven, shall [also] come in like manner, as you have seen Him go into heaven.]

I have [held] My peace [a] long time, & I have been still, & refrained Myself. Now I will cry [out] like a woman [in delivery.] I will destroy & devour at once. I will make; mountains & hills, waste [lands,] & will dry up all their [vegetation.] And I will make the rivers, islands, & I will dry up the pools, [a.k.a. ponds.]

And I will bring the blind by a [road] that they [didn't know.] I will lead them in paths that they haven't known. I will make darkness, Light before them, & [make] crooked [places,] straight. I will do these things to them, & not [abandon] them. [John 8:12 Then, Jesus [spoke] again to them, saying, I Am the Light of the world. He, [who follows] Me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.]

They shall be [returned] back, & [those who] trust in [carved] images, & say to [molded] images, You are our gods, shall be greatly ashamed. You deaf, Hear, &  you blind, look [so] that you may see. [Psalm 115:4-9 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] They have feet, but they [can't] walk. Neither can they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them, so is everyone who [trusts] in them. O Israel, you, trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield.]

Who is blind, but My servant? Or deaf, [like] My messenger that I sent? Who is blind [like] he, [who] is perfect, [a.k.a. blameless,] & blind [like] the Lord's servant? [Isaiah 29:18-19 And [on] that day, the deaf shall hear the Words of the Book, & the eyes of the blind shall see out of [dimness,] & out of darkness. The meek, [a.k.a. humble,] shall also increase their joy in the Lord, & the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.]

Seeing many things, but you [don't observe.] Opening the ears, but he, [a.k.a. Israel, doesn't listen.] [Isaiah 43:6-8 I will say to the North, Give up; & to the South, [Don't hold] back. Bring My sons from far, & My daughters from the ends of the earth. Even everyone, [who] is called by My Name. For I have created him for My glory. I have formed him; Yes, I have made him. Bring [forward] the blind people, [who] have eyes, & the deaf, [who] have ears.]

For His righteousness sake, the Lord is well-pleased, & He will magnify the Law, & make it honorable. But this is a people: robbed & [plundered.] They are, all of them, [trapped] in holes, & they are [hidden] in prison houses. They are for: a prey, [a.k.a. prize,] & [plunder,] & [no one delivers,] & none [say,] Restore [them.]

[Isaiah 63:5-6 And I looked, & there was [no one] to help. And I wondered that there [were] none to uphold. Therefore, [My] Own arm brought Salvation to Me; & My fury, upheld Me. And I will [trample] down the people in [My] anger, & make them drunk in My fury, & I will bring down their strength to the [ground.]

Who among you will [lend] [your] ear to this? Who will [pay attention,] & [listen,] for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for [plunder,] & Israel to the robbers? Didn't the Lord, against He, Whom we have sinned? [Isaiah 1:23-24 Your princes are rebellious, & companions of thieves. Everyone [loves] gifts, & [follows] after rewards, [a.k.a. bribes.] They [don't] judge the fatherless, & neither [does] the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, [says,] Ah, I will ease [Myself] of [My] adversaries, & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies.]

For they wouldn't walk in His ways, & neither [would] they [obey] His Law. [Isaiah 65:2-3 I have spread out My hands all day to a rebellious people, [who walk] in a [path] that wasn't good, after their own thoughts. A people, [who provoke] Me to anger continually to My face, & [who sacrifice] [to idols] in gardens, & [burn] incense upon brick altars.]

Therefore, He [has] poured upon him, the fury of His anger, & the strength of battle. And it [has] set Him on fire [all around,] yet he, [a.k.a. Israel, didn't know;] & it burned him. [Still,] he, [a.k.a. Israel, didn't take] it to heart. [Revelation 16:8-9 And the 4th Angel poured out his vial upon the sun; & power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, & blasphemed the Name of God, [Who has] power over these plagues, & they [didn’t repent,] nor give Him glory.]
