Hi Mel,
Chapter 50:1-11-- The suffering of the Lord's servant......
This begins with an emphasis on the Lord's unbreakable commitment of marriage to his people Judah. The question, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement? is rhetorical, and the umplied answer is that thee is none. This should be viewed in contrast with Jeremiah 3:8, where the Lord states that He divorced Israle and threatens judah with the same. In spite of their sins, he never severed Himself from the Davidic line. This chapter also includes a prophecy of Christ's suffering. I gave my back to the smitters is referred to in Matthew 27:26 in relation to the scourging that Christ received, My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair refers to the plucking out of His beaard. The reference to spitting is vertified in Matthew 26:27. The Servant is again seen as an individual suffering for the sins of the people.
God bless you now and always..
With God's Love..........
