I have written and preached previously on the Isaiah 53 because of its prophecy fulfilled, but it is one of the most significantly avoided passages in Judaism. I've read it described as the "Rabbis' Torture Chamber". It is referred by modern evangelistic scholars as the "Fifth Gospel". Being written centuries before Christ and the New Testament period, I like to refer to it as the "Very First Gospel". It teaches how to recognise the Messiah and His 'way of salvation'.

For centuries Rabbis acknowledged it was describing the Messiah. They no longer teach it because it was fulfilled by Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth 2000 years ago. That contributes to why so many Jews don't know Jesus and His atoning and vicarious work!

This 10 minute Israeli video (captioned in English) shows evangelism in the Holy Land, but using the examination of the Hebrew Tanakh (our modern Old Testament) as it reveals the narrative of Jesus the Messiah. Enjoy ... Isaiah 53 ~ The Forbidden Chapter.
Blessings in Christ,
