Isaiah 41:8

servant

Three servants of Jehovah are mentioned in Isaiah:

(1) David (Isaiah 37:35).

(2) Israel the nation (Isaiah 41:8); (Isaiah 43:1); (Isaiah 44:1); (Isaiah 44:21); (Isaiah 45:4); (Isaiah 48:20).

(3) Messiah (Isaiah 42:1); Isaiah 49, entire chapter, but note especially (Isaiah 49:5); where the Servant Christ restores the servant nation; (Isaiah 50:4); (Isaiah 52:13); (Isaiah 52:53); (Isaiah 52:1). Israel the nation was a faithless servant, but restored and converted will yet thresh mountains. Against the Servant Christ no charge of unfaithfulness or failure is brought.

( See Scofield) - (Isaiah 42:1).
