Isaiah 53 as Israel: the contention

His most recent reply is this:

Below is an analysis of Isaiah which I hope will open your understanding that it is not about Jesus and will answer your post completely without going through each point.

Here is the context of Isaiah and who the servant is.

1. ?But you, Israel, are my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen.? (Isaiah 41:8-9)

2. ?Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant and Israel whom I have chosen.? (Isaiah 44:1)

3. ?Remember these, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant, I have formed you, you are My servant.? (Isaiah 44:21)

4. ??for Jacob My servant?s sake, and Israel My elect.? (Isaiah 45:4)

5. ?The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob.? (Isaiah 48:20)

6. ?You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.? (Isaiah 49:3

The context is set all thru Isaiah as you can see the servant that Isaiah speaks of is Israel.

ISAIAH 52: ?Behold, My [God?s] servant [Israel] will succeed; he [Israel] will be exalted and become high and exceedingly lofty. Just as multitudes were astonished over you [Israel] ?so will the many nations [exclaim about him [Israel] and [Gentile] kings will shut their mouths [in amazement] for they [Gentiles] will see that which had never been told to them [Gentiles], and will perceive things they (Gentiles] had never heard.? (Isaiah 52:15)

ISAIAH 53:3: ?He [Israel] was despised and isolated from men, a man of pains and accustomed to illness [not grief]. As one from whom we would hide our faces; he was despised, and we had no regard for him.?

ANALYSIS: ?He? [the Jewish People] was subjected to 2000 years of antiSemitism, ?despised,? and forced to live in walled ghettos in Europe ?isolated from men? and ?we ? [Gentiles] had no regard for ?him? [the Jewish People].

ISAIAH 53:4: ?But in truth, it was our ills that he bore, and our pains that he carried-but we had regarded him diseased, [not sorrows] stricken by God, and afflicted!?

ANALYSIS: The Gentiles admit that it was ?our? [the Gentiles] ?ills and pains? that ?he? [the Jews] bore. The Gentiles regarded the Jews cursed by God and ?diseased, stricken, and afflicted.? Clearly, Jesus was not ?accustomed to illness, diseased, stricken or afflicted.?

ISAIAH 53:5: ?He was pained because of our rebellious sins and oppressed through our iniquities; the chastisement upon him was for our benefit, and through his wounds, we were healed.?

ANALYSIS: ?He? [the Jewish People] ?was pained? [suffered] because of ?our? [the Gentiles] rebellious sins and ?he? [the Jewish People] was ?oppressed? by ?our? [the Gentiles] ?iniquities? [sins]. The Gentiles believed that the suffering of the Jewish People was deserved because the Jews rejected and killed Jesus but his death redeemed their sins. ?We? [the Gentiles] believed that they were ?healed? [justified] ?through his [the Jewish People?s] wounds? that the Gentiles inflicted
