Isaiah said chapter 52:13-53:12 He will be exaulted but first marred more than any man, and he will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins."

Dear David Israel:
Yes, Jesus was Jewish - and imbued through with the words of Isaiah. It was His great determination to fulfill that scripture.
Most people know that Jesus did fulfill it, but He did not become a political deliverer as the Jewish people of THAT era so desperately yearned for. And, of course, they had good cause to want that deliverance from the hands or grip of Rome.
But Jesus Knew His Father. He understood how this world operated and the truth that on earth, the stronger often try to oppress the weaker. If we are freed from one Oppressor, in a short time another arises to take its place. Rather, Jesus taught how to live successfully under any earthly conditions. How to find happiness, security, well-being in the midst of Hellish things. To not have learned THAT lesson from Him was a loss of magnitude for the Jewish people who refused to listen to Him.
Jesus was the Messiah. He should have been the greatest pride of the Jewish people. And, it IS a very small number who today still hold to the belief - Jesus was not the Messiah.
Keep your Brother Jesus, in your heart and Know - what He Knew. Learn what He taught and be rich in your heart. Teach others about it. Expand the thinking of minds who take Ancient Man's concept of Messiah in too small a context and may be thinking too narrowly. You are just as Jewish as any other. You simply understood Jesus better than they do. "If you have ears to hear. . .then hear." Jewish people who adhere to the Ancient concept of Messiah (which is Messenger and Deliverer) hurt you in acting as if you are not truly one of them. It is your cross to bear. Bear it with dignity. This Deliverer knew how to deliver us from the devilries of earth, using a different method. His Father's method. Permanent deliverance. Judaism is our Foundation and Jesus is our House. Teach them David - teach.

If you received Jesus into your heart and made Him your personal Lord and Saviour than you are saved. I must say congratulations to you. The prophet Isaiah spoke much about Messiah and I'm happy that you recognize Him in Jesus Christ.

I'm glad to hear that you've accepted Jesus as your Savior!
I'm not 100% sure I understand your question though.
The book of Isaiah is a legitimate book of scripture - God breathed and accurate.
Jesus was beaten and pierced for our transgressions. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter and gave His life for the lives of many.
Not everyone will accept that but don't let that discourage you. The Bible says many have eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear. Continue to stand strong in defense of the Truth that is our Savior Jesus Christ!

David,
When I see your "questions" I wonder why lies, arrogance, deception, and cowardly propagandists exist.
=======================
David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades christianity.

It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
on the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). clearly this isn't about jesus.

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity.
