Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

In Context

6+ 49:6. MP: Messiah is a light to the nations, the Gentiles. (See also Is 60:1-3). (See also context of Is 9:1-2, and Is 9:3, 42:6d). (Luke 2:31-32; Acts 13:47-48; Rom 3:22) + 49:6 a MP: Messiah is God’s servant. (John 4:34, 6:38; Phil 2:7) Indeed, he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob [Supplanter], 2 and to restore the preserved of Israel [God prevails]? 1 I will also give you as a light to the nations, 2 + 49:6. MP: Messiah will bring salvation to the ends of the earth. (Matt 28:19; Acts 13:47) that you may be my yishu'ah ·salvation·to the end of the earth.” + 49:6. Quoted in Acts 13:47 1

8Adonai says, “In an acceptable time I have answered you, 2 and in a day of yishu'ah ·salvation· I have helped you. + 49:8. Quoted in 2 Cor 6:2 1 + 49:8 b MP: “Preserved you as a covenant for the people” - the restoring the land and distributing inheritance was anticipated at Messiah’s coming (see in Luke 24:21 and Acts 1:6). The national-political redemption is yet to come at the demise of the anti-Messiah and the establishment of Messiah’s eternal kingdom. (Rev 19:11-21 is describing Ezekiel ch 38-39 and Daniel ch 11). Judaism in the days of Yeshua expected political redemption with the Messiah (Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6). (Also referenced: Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6; 2 Cor 6:2; Rev 19:11-21+; Ezekiel ch 38-39 and Daniel ch 11). (Matt 26:28) I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of the people, 2 to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage: 1
