that this, chapter was written by

it was written from 150 to 200 years
later.

THE SERVANT EXALTED.
THE .SERVANT -DESPISED.
"Who hath .believed our message?”
—The .prophet's message concerning
the lowly -exalted .Servant is so glor-
ious, so unexpected, that no one has
believed it. "And to whom hath.. t]te
arrai of .Jehovah. been revealed'" -The
ailn of :Jehovah—is His . Almighty
power; thatarrn of God had `macic
bare in the eyes of ail the nations"
(Isa. 52;10), but they had not'real-
ized the: wondrous workings of His
providence.
"For he (Christ) grew up `before
him (Jehovah) as atender plant"—
As a sapling, a. fresh sprout from the
stump of a fallen tree, the house of
David. That is just what the Mess-
iah was. "And> as a root out of a dry
ground."—All of the circumstances
surrounding .Christ were unfavorable;
the poverty and lowly station of His
family, the obscurity of Nazareth, the
servitude of His nation to the Ro-
roan conquerors. "He hathno form
nor comeliness; and when we see hila;
there is no beauty that we should de-
sire hint.;, —A sapling growing up a-
mid such unfavorable surroundings
would not be likely to have a ,grace-
ful forst or reach an imposing height
or present a lovely aspect.
`He was despised, and rejected of
hien,'—"Rejected." has in the :margin:
"forsaken." This was true of Ghri`,
for at His arrest even His twelve
disciples forsook Him and fled
(Matt. 26: 56). "_A manof sorrows,

people, "He: shall see his seed, he

Springing up in • every land, with im-
mense numbers of believers. "And:

per in
rosper.iu his hand:"—God's pleasure, i.e.,
His purpose, is the establishment on
earth:.of the kingdom of heaven
through the salvation of men frontE
sin mild their' obedience to 1 -lis will.
This is what the Servant will bring
about.
"He shall see the travail of his
Sim], and shall be satisfied." -"The
travail. of His soul" is (Kay) ' "the
fruit that conies forth from His toil
arra agony." It will be Large enough
to satisfy even :the Servant's splen;
did hopes for His people., 'That is
one of the 'most inspiring and far-
reaching promises in Holy. Writ. "by
the knowledge of himself, shall, my
righteous servant justify many." --
This sentence may be translated 'in
i
two ways, -meaning that the Servant
will justify -many through His own
kro*ledge of Jehovah, or through
men's knowledge of Him; Both
thoughts are true. "And he shall
bear their iniquities," -including of.
course the penalty for their sins. He,
the sinless One, is made sin for us.
This is the centre and substance of
the divine mystery of the atonement.
Therefore will I divide hint a por•
titin with the great, and he shall di-
vide the spoil With the strong."—
"The language used here is figura-
tive and perhaps proverbial (com-
pare Prov. 16;19), and is borrowed
from the practice of a victorious king
who distributes among his deserving
warriors a share of the spoils of the
campaign. The Servant who was on-
ce counted among malefactors is c'i
be placed on a level with' conquerors
(compare Isa. 52:15)," — Westmin-
ster Commentary. "Because he pour-
ed out his soul unto death, and was
numbered with the. transgressors"—

quoted this prophecy at the last Sup-
per (Luke 22:37) in foretelling His
crucifixion, and the prediction was
literally fulfilled (i.ulce ]>3:33). "Yet
are bare, the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors."—
The Saviour fulfilled this me:dictlo1
by His prayer on the cross for those
who were killing: •Hini (j.uke 23:34);
and now `9 -le ever fivcth to make
intercession for those "that draw
rtearr unto 'God through Hint" (Heb.
7:25). Thus this wonderful prophecy
closes with the highest note of all,
the atonement.
