Isa 531-3 Who has believed our report? And to
whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender
plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no
form or comeliness And when we see Him, There is
no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is
despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it
were, our faces from Him He was despised, and we
did not esteem Him. NKJV

  neglect of God

  rejection of their Messiah

Who Wrote The Bible?

• 2 Peter 119-21
• 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,
  which you do well to heed as a light that shines
  in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
  morning star rises in your hearts 20 knowing
  this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of
  any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy
  never came by the will of man, but holy men of
  God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
• NKJV
