Isaiah Chapter 53

Isaiah 53:1
53:1 Who {a} hath believed our report? and to whom is the {b}
     arm of the LORD revealed?

     (a) The prophet shows that very few will receive their
         preaching from Christ, and from their deliverance by
         him, John 12:38, Romans 10:16.
     (b) Meaning, that no one can believe but whose hearts God
         touches with the virtue of his Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 53:2
53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a
     {c} root out of a dry {d} ground: he hath no form nor
     comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty
     that we should desire him.

     (c) The beginning of Christ's kingdom will be small and
         contemptible in the sight of man, but it will grow
         wonderfully and flourish before God.
     (d) Read Isaiah 11:1.

Isaiah 53:3
53:3 He is despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and
     acquainted with {e} grief: and we hid as it were [our]
     faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

     (e) Which was by God's singular providence for the comfort
         of sinners, Hebrews 4:15.

Isaiah 53:4
53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried {f} our
     sorrows: yet we did esteem him {g} stricken, smitten by
     God, and afflicted.

     (f) That is, the punishment due to our sins, for which he
         has both suffered and made satisfaction,
         Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24.
     (g) We judge evil, thinking that he was punished for his
         own sins, and not for ours.

Isaiah 53:5
53:5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was]
     bruised for our iniquities: the {h} chastisement for our
     peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

     (h) He was chastised for our reconciliation,
         1 Corinthians 15:3.

Isaiah 53:6
53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
     one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the {i}
     iniquity of us all.

     (i) Meaning, the punishment of our iniquity, and not the
         fault itself.

Isaiah 53:7
53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he {k} opened
     not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
     and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened
     not his mouth.

     (k) But willingly and patiently obeyed his father's
         appointment, Matthew 26:63, Acts 8:32.

Isaiah 53:8
53:8 He was taken from {l} prison and from judgment: {m} and who
     shall declare his generation? for he was cut off from the
     land of the living: for the transgression of my people was
     he stricken.

     (l) From the cross and grave, after that he was condemned.
     (m) Though he died for sin, yet after his resurrection he
         will live forever and this his death is to restore life
         to his members, Romans 6:9.

Isaiah 53:9
53:9 {n} And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the
     rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither
     [was any] deceit in his mouth.

     (n) God the Father delivered him into the hands of the
         wicked, and to the powers of the world to do with him
         what they would.

Isaiah 53:10
53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him]
      to grief: when {o} thou 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.

      (o) Christ by offering up himself will give life to his
          Church, and so cause them to live with him forever.

Isaiah 53:11
53:11 He shall see of the {p} travail of his soul, [and] shall
      be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my {q} righteous
      servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

      (p) That is, the fruit and effect of his labour, which is
          the salvation of his Church.
      (q) Christ will justify by faith through his word, while
          Moses could not justify by the law.

Isaiah 53:12
53:12 Therefore I will divide to him [a portion] with the great,
      and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because {r}
      he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered
      with the transgressors; and he bore the sin {s} of many,
      and made intercession for the transgressors.

      (r) Because he humbled himself, therefore he will be
          extolled to glory, Philippians 2:7-2:12.
      (s) That is, of all that believe in him.

The Jews, the servants of the most high God, conceived of a deception ... They conspired against the Son of Man.

The Crucifixion Hymn -
A Manichaean hymn in Parthian.

... Because of Satan the select were chosen by Jesus.
He (Satan) wanted to break through the fiery waves, to burn
the whole world with fire. The noble ruler (Jesus) changed his
garment and appeared before Satan in his power.
Then heaven and earth trembled, and Sammaèl plunged into
the deep. The true interpreter (Jesus) as filled with pity because
of the Light which the foe had devoured. He had raised it (the Light)
up from the deep pit of death to that place of zeal from which it
had descended.
Honor to you, Son of Greatness, who has liberated your righteous
ones. Protect, now, too, the Teacher Màr Zaku, the great keeper of your
radiant herd.
...

Awake, brethren, you chosen ones, on this day of the salvation of souls,
the foutreenth day of the month of Mihr, on which Jesus, the Son of God,
entered Parinirvana.
Harken, all you faithful:
When the time for the perfection of the Son of Man had come, all the
demons knew it. And the lord of the sinful doctrine ... covered himself
in deceit. And the demons took cunsel with each other. The twelve thrones
above were disturbed. Poison flowed down on the lower creation, (Biological weapons)
upon the sons, and the chalce of death was prepared for him (Jesus).
The Jews, the servants of the most high God, conceived of a deception ...
They conspired against the Son of Man. They devised evil; in deception
they brought forth false witnesses. Accursed Satan, who had always
troubled the apostles, molested the herd of Christ. He turned the treacherous
Iscariot into a steed, when the Most Beloved Jesus trusted the disciples.
He (Judas) indicated him to the night-watchman by a kiss on his hand.
He delivered the Son of God to the foes. He betrayed Truth. For the
sake of a rewrd that the Jews gave, he offered up his own lord and teacher.

Not all Jews are associated with this deception remember 12000 from the Jewish tribe are redeemed and know with out a doubt who the lamb is as they to follow him where ever he goes

God of the earth is the second beast in revelation 13

Rev 13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
God of the earth speaks like Satan
Rev 13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
God of the Earth denounces Jesus the lamb and promotes the first beast as Gods chosen Messiah or Gods Christ (Christ is not a sir name it translates to savior.)
  The fist beast was originally put in place by Satan however when Satan was cast out of heaven and the God of the earth gained his power back God of the earth then granted this same beast authority to become the Messiah.
Rev 13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Rev 13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Rev 13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The Mark is a Genetic hack that alters the DNA code in specific brain receptor cells that reference the name of the lamb with and changes it to the name of the beast. This enables the beast to remote view his subjects
God of the Earth uses molecular biology not divinity to get his way. This act is what spiritually sets the new Babylon. He is fighting the great one.

The God of the earth

The God of the earth universe is not. The Great One (the holy spirit). There are three other universes out there each with there own God. The great one is God of Gods. all spirits including Satan and his angels and the Gods of all universes are connected to the great one via the holy spirit.

Satan's beef was with the God of the earth. Satan questioned God of the earths authority and God of the earth saw this as a mutiny and cast down Satan and his angels back to earth. Revelation 12
Satan actually made it to the lambs book of life. At first Satan persecuted the lamb however when God of the earth began persecuting the lamb because the lamb too questioned God of the Earths authority that's when Satan realised the lamb was no threat to him a he pitied the lamb and tried to help him by having his angels protect him .

The Great ones special task force

Abbadon and his crew are special task of angels that are enlightened with extra knowledge granted by the Great One.  Satan and his angels as well as God of the earth and his angels do not have this extra enlightenment.
I met Abbadon and some of his angels during a vision they do not care too much for humans or Satan and God of the earths angels however they know how much these other beings mean to the great one and they would not harm anyone that is in the lambs book of life.

Judgement Day is not just for the humans it is also judgement day for Satan and his angels and God of the earth and his angels

Gennisis
The angels must find the Lamb too..
The lamb shows the way back to the tree of life

Gen 3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Revelations 
Earths heaven becomes subject to the Great ones final judgement...


Rev 6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
