. This Book By Glaser Won't Work For Those That Have Been Armed By JCM's
Like Moshe Shulman,
Eli Cohen, Asher Meza With Prepared Arguments. There Will Need To Be More Of An
Effort Similar To How Dr. Michael Brown Refutes Arguments In His
Books.
Of Course None Of Those Counter Missionary Arguments Hold Water,
But It Takes More Effort To Refute Them.
I Agree With Him That Determining Whether 53 Is About Messiah Or Israel Is Of Utmost Importance.
He Says,
"The identity of the Servant of the LOrd-whether the corporate nation of Israel or an individual-is
crucial in determining whether or not Yeshua is the fulfillment of the passage. If it can be demonstrated that the Servant
of the Lord in Isaiah 53 is an individual and not the nation of Israel, then the case for Yeshua being the fulfillment is
far more tenable." (572 of 1743)"
He Does A Adequate Job Of Showing A Sinful Nation Like Israel Cannot Be The Righteous Servant Described
In Is 53 And Cannot Atone For The Sins Of Itself.
But I Think Putting The Prophet Isaiah In The Same Category As Israel Is Kind Of Minimizing The Extent
Of Israel's Sin And Just How Wicked Israel Was And Is.
"Isaiah recognized that he, LIKE HIS OWN PEOPLE had unclean lips-and he could not make himself holy
or righteous...." (511 of 1743)
In My Many Debates With Jewish Counter Missionaries I Have Found That They Try To Show That Isaiah 53
Is Israel, Not Messiah And They Do Two Things To Show It.
1)
That Israel Is The Servant In The Book Of Isaiah And While They've Shown Themselves To Be A Wicked Servant,
They Have Not Shown Themselves To Be The Righteous Servant Of Isaiah 53
2)
That Israel Has Suffered Greatly Through History
a)
They Try To Show That Their Suffering Is Unwarranted
3)
That Israel Was Alone It Its Suffering. When Have You Seen A Movie Where Anyone But The Jews Were The
Victims In The Holocaust?
These Are Points To Be Refuted And Are Essential In Showing Isaiah 53 Is Not Israel But Messiah, And
They Are Points That Mitch Has Shown Himself To Be Afraid To Talk About At His Facebook Page And In This Book.
It Is This, The Righteous Servant, In Is 53 Is Suffering And Atoning For The Sins Of Others, While He
Himself Is Innocent And Israel Doesn't Fit This Description, By Any Stretch Of The Imagination.

The Bible Over Time Have Stressed That Israel Suffers Because Of Its Own Sins.
It's That Simple.
The Destruction In Jerusalem And Of The Jews In A.D. 70 Was Clearly A Fufillment Of Prophecy From The
Old And New Testament. (Genesis 3:15; Psalm 110; Matt. Luke 21:20-24; Matt. 23:37-39)

IMO, Mitch Makes Matters Worse When He States:
"And I had another problem-it was also hard for me to consider Jesus objectively because of the harm
that has been done to the Jewish people in His name by His so-called followers. It is natural to be suspicious of someone
whose supposed devotees have behaved so destructively." (67 Of 1743)
Why Would Jewish People Be Suspicious Of False Christians That Kill Jews, When Real Jews Throughout
His Story Killed Their Own Brothers? (1 Kings 19:10,14) Did The Murderous Ways Of His Own Brothers Make Him Reject The Partial
Truths Of The Tanakh?
Paul A Jew When Speaking Of The Jews Says,
"24 As it is written:
"God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you (Jews)."
(Romans 2)
And When Isaiah Himself In the Very First Chapter Of Isaiah Attributes The Wrath Of God On Them As A
Result Of Their Own Sin And The Mercy Of God As The Only Reason God Didn't Exterminate Them Completely As He Did Sodom?
"4 Ah SINFUL NATION, A PEOPLE LADEN WITH INIQUITY, A SEED OF EVIL-DOERS,
children that deal corruptly; they have FORSAKEN THE LORD, they have CONTEMNED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, they are turned away
backward. 5 On what part will ye yet be stricken, seeing ye stray away more and more? THE WHOLE HEAD IS SICK, AND THE
WHOLE HEART FAINT; 6 FROM THE SOLE OF THE FOOT EVEN UNTO THE HEAD there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises,
and festering sores: they have not been pressed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil. 7 Your country is desolate;
your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by floods.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 EXCEPT THE LORD OF HOSTS LEFT UNTO US A VERY SMALL REMNANT (Jews And Gentiles Saved By Grace), we should have been
as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah." (Isaiah 1:4ff)
People Have Been Watching Too Many Hollywood Movies Rather Than Reading Scripture.

Paul Showed The Impartiality Of God Shows That The Jews Were First To Receive Blessings When They Were
Obedient, But Also First In Curses When They Chose To Disobey God. (Romans 2:9-11)
Another Reason Israel Isn't The Righteous Servant Of Isaiah 53 Is Because They Cannot Claim To Be The
Sole Recipients Of Such Human Tragedies As The Holocaust. Three Million More Non Jews Died In The Holocaust Than Jews.
Why Would Mitch Fail To Mention The Many Christians That Opposed Hitler And Assisted And Even Died With
The Jews As A Reason For Believing The Gospel.
"Along with the Jews, another 9 to 10 million
people-Gypsies, Slavs (Poles, Ukrainians, and Belarussians), homosexuals, and the disabled were exterminated." (Time Almanac
1999, pg. 134)
"When Christians of that era are mentioned in the media, their victimization is either ignored, trivialized
or distorted. Too often false generalizations about pandemic Christian collaboration with the Nazis against the Jews are made
to deflect attention away from the huge numbers of Christian victims during the most destructive war in history." (Why Do We Allow Non-Jewish Victims to be Forgotten?)

"No man spoke more eloquently on behalf of the civil liberties of Jews than the Protestant pastor and theologian Dietrich
Bonhoeffer. He became a prominent voice in ‘the Confessing Church’ that was founded when approximately 3,000 PROTESTANT
PASTORS BROKE OFF from the main religious body in protest. (Konfession is German for denomination.) "

There Is Something Really Wrong With Allowing And Perpetuating Misconceptions, Half Truths, Partial
Revelations, And Shadows When We Have The Whole Truth And Nothing But, In Christ Himself And All Because The Whole Truth Might
Offend Or Drive Off Offenders.
The Whole Truth Is, When A Group Is Offended By Another Group, Whether Justified Or Not, It Opens Doors For Them To Recognize
That They Are Guilty Of The Same Things, And All Need A Way For Forgiveness.
"All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray And The Lord Laid Upon Him The Iniquity Of Us All." (Isaiah 53)
If The Jewish And Gentile People Want To Offended At Anyone, Looking At Their Own Religious Leaders
Would Be The Place To Focus.
In The Greek Septuagint The OT Used By Jews During Christ's Time, But Hidden From Them In The Hebrew
Maz Text That Didn't Appear Until 900 A.D. And Greatly Altered To Resist The Claims Of Jesus.
They Even Duped The Translators Of The Old Testament For Christians Into Keeping This Prophecy Out. How It Gets Even Stranger
Is When We Find The Fulfillment Of A Prophecy In Hebrews Ten, That Has Been Removed From The Old Testament.
Here It Is:
Hebrews
Ten Refers To A Prophecy That Has Been Partially Removed From Our Old Testaments.
"Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, BUT
A BODY YOU PREPARED FOR ME; 6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. 7 Then I said, 'Here I am--it is
written about me in the scroll -- I have come to do your will, O God.' "8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt
offerings (Holokotoma) and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them
to be made) (Hebrews 10)
The Septuagint, Which Is The Greek Translation Of Hebrew Texts Older Than The Maz Text Still Has, 'A
Body Thou Has Prepared For Me' With The Greek Word For Burnt Sacrifice, Which Is Where They Got The Word HOLOCAUST From.
Here Is A Photo Of Psalm 40 In The Septuagint Where 'A Body Thou Hast Prepared' Is Still In This Prophecy
Spoken Of Later As Fulfilled, In Hebrews Ten.
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/brenton/lxx/Page_721.html
The Jewish Counter Missionaries Removed 'The Body' From The Masoretic Text.
Check Out Verse Sixff Of Psalm 40. Don't Worry This Page Is In Greek And English Here.
The Maz Text Was Changed From, 'A Body Thou Hast Prepared' To 'My Ears Thou Hast Opened'
So Rather Than Receive God's Sacrifice For Their Sins, They Feigned Enlightenment And Having No Need
For God's Sacrifice, Thus Being Set Up And Blind Sided By Their Jewish Religious Leaders For The Holocaust.
So Does Mitch Glaser Really Want To Continue To Avoid Showing That The Suffering Of Israel Was For A Completely Different
Reason Than The Righteous Servant's Suffering In Isaiah 53?
"Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, "What? Are we blind too?" 41 Jesus said,
"If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but NOW THAT YOU CLAIM YOU CAN SEE, YOUR GUILT REMAINS." (John 9)
