The travail of his soul , ISAIAH'S WITNESS OF JESUS

ISAIAH 53:10-11 (ABOUT 700 YEARS BEFORE JESUS' BIRTH)

Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand . s~'v'a ~yif'T-mia yil/x,h w{a.K;D #ep'x h'why;w h'wh.y #,pex.w ~yim'y .$yir]a;y [;r,z h,a.rIy w{v.p;n x'l.cIy w{d'y.B

NOTE:THE ORIGINAL WORD TRANSLATED FOR "SOUL" IN iSAIAH  IS THE SAME ORIGINAL WORD TRANSLATED SOUL IN GENESIS 2:7:.

HOW DO WE KNOW iSAIAH WAS SPEAKING ABOUT JESUS? -

-BECAUSE OF THE WITNESS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

	ACTS 8:30-35  Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand you what you are reading?"
	He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
	Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, So he doesn`t open his mouth.
	In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generations? For his life is taken from the earth."
	The eunuch answered Philip, "Please tell who the prophet is talking about: about himself, or about some other?"
	Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.

SO WHERE DID ISAIAH'S PROPHECY: "THE TRAVAIL OF JESUS' SOUL " TAKE PLACE?

" He has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin...."

THE APOSTLE PETER CLAIMS....

"The soul" of Jesus ("my Holy One") was "in Hades"  

The body of Jesus was in Joseph's tomb and would have 
suffered decay except for His resurrection.

Peter's explains this in Psalm 16...
ACTS 2:29-36 "Brothers, I may tell you  freely of the patriarch David, that he both  died and was buried, and his tomb is with  us to this day. he foreseeing this  spoke  (in Psalm 16) about the resurrection of   the Christ, that neither was                                                                                                               his soul left in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing  that God had sworn with an oath to him   that of the fruit of his body, according to  the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to   sit on his throne, This Jesus God raised up,  whereof we all are witnesses.
Being therefore exalted by the right hand  of God, and having received from the   Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he  has poured forth this, which you now  see   and hear.
For David didn`t ascend into the   heavens, and his body, DID SUFFER  DECAY.  But he says himself,  `The Lord said to my Lord, (David's Lord would  be Christ)"Sit by my right hand,
Until I make your enemies the footstool of your  feet."`
"Let all the house of Israel therefore know  assuredly that God has  made him both  Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." VERSES 29-30  Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that  God had sworn with an oath to him  that of the fruit of his body, according to the  flesh, he would raise up the Christ to  sit on his throne, This Jesus God raised up,  whereof we all are witnesses. IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS....  WHAT ARE THEY WITNESSES OF? THEY  WERE WITNESSES OF CHRIST'S  RESURRECTED PHYSICAL BODY!   What Peter argues here is not the existence of  our soul--THAT  WAS ALREADY KNOWN--A PART, OF THIER  THEOLOGY--already a known; a part of  their belief, but  WHAT PETER IS ARGUING AND  WHAT HE  IS PROVING THAT WHICH THEY DID SEE-- WITNESSED  THE PHYSICAL RESURRECTED BODY OF JESUS  CHRIST--THE  HOLY ONE WILL NOT SEE DECAY-ROT.   (INCIDENTLY NOTICE  THE DIFFERENCE OF THE APOSTLE TO THE  RESURRECTED CHRIST JUST AFTER THE TOMB,  AND WHEN THEY MEET IN  REVELATIONS 1:12-17) The body of Christ will be resurrected--"not see  corruption." FROM JOHN'S BEHAVIOR, THEIR ATITUDE RESEMBLED  ISAIAH'S ATIITUDE IN ISAIAH 6:1. Peter interprets Psalm 16, and   restates                                                                                                                                                                   what  David clearly understood what would  happen to  himself after death. (David)-that is his body in the natural cycle of death- P-his body would go the grave and his flesh and see corruption(rot), and his soul  going to Hades("Abraham's bosum"- "Paradice" part of Hades).   Peter's proof-text was " In other words, David's corupted bones are still is in  David's Tomb--David's tomb is still there--check it out. David, both died and was buried, and  his tomb(bones of his body) is with us  to this day.

2:31 he(David) foreseeing this spoke about 

the resurrection of the Christ, that (Christ)

neither was his soul left 
in Hades, 

nor did his flesh see decay.

Peter inadvertently mentions "soul". 

The Greek word used  is the same Greek

word used in Septuagint's Genesis 2:7 

and as obviously contextually while 

speaking of Jesus. That is Jesus' soul, 

non-physical non-decaying part of 

Jesus, which means Jesus was not to left in Hades,
  so just as obviously that's where He was.  
Jesus explains Hades in 

Luke 16:23, Matt. 11:23, Luke 10:15

Jesus' flesh (the Greek word for flesh(sarx) can not

mean spiritual body), but His fleshly body with 

the wounds of crucifixtion would have suffered 

decay save His resurrection and 40 days later 

ascendency)

This sarx-flesh meaning became an important point 

much later in the Christian Church Council debate 

over a supposedly Christian teaching that was really 

a Plato-inspired belief that Jesus' body was never 

physical (soma), but only a spiritual body  

see John 1:14  



THE IDEA "THINKING GOOD AND DOING GOOD" JUST DOESN'T SATISFY THE JUSTICE OF GOD.

YOUR PAST SIN AND FUTURE SIN 
STILL REMAINS.

JESUS CHRIST SUFFERED FOR YOUR SIN.
ALL THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS OFFERINGS 
FOR SIN NEVER TOOK AWAY THE SIN GUILT. 

ONLY ONE THING CAN SATISFY THE JUSTICE OF GOD.

"He(GOD) shall see of the travail of his(CHRIST'S) soul, 
[and] shall be satisfied

by the knowledge (YOUR ACCEPTANCE) of himself

hall my righteous servant justify many"

AT THIS POINT IT SHOULD BE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR WHAT ALL THIS SCRIPTURE IS TELLING US.
