Why is there so much repetition in Isaiah 53?

Question

In the first 3 verses the servant is rejected and says so 7 different ways
In the next 3 verses the servant is to uffer for 'our' sins and says so seven differnt ways
in the next 3 verses the servant dies
in the last 3 verses the servant overcomes death

why is it so important to repeat these so many times, after all Jospeh said Pharoah's dreas were repeated twice and so said God had firmly decided something
Daniel say the word MENE MENE on the wall written twice and said GOd firmly decided it...

so what does it mean for God to repeat something 7 times like that and what does it mean "It pleased GOd to crush him and the pleasures of GOd will be multiplied in Him" Isaiah 53

why is each point made at least 7 times, that the servant will be rejected, suffer, die and overcome death?

Answer 1

There is repition, but each time you read one part of it, there is a different aspect bought out.

I'll give just one example from Isaish 53 due to length: Verse 2 says that Jesus would appear in a form the Jews would not recognize. Because of the airs put on by the Pharisees and Sadducees in Jesus' day, the people may have been looking for someone who looked stately (or noble) and who was rich like the Pharisees and Sadducees by wearing expensive garbs, but Jesus would look like a normal man. Those whose hearts did not discern that Jesus was the Messiah because of his looks would miss the grand opportunity of following him while he walked the earth.

Verse 3 shows how Jesus was held of no account by the people, and was meant for pains and acquaintance with sickness. This did not mean that Jesus was in physical pain and sickness (since he was perfect), but it means that he healed the spiritually sick by preaching about God's kingdom and what it would do for the people and that he also healed numerous people from their physical sicknesses as well. As for him having pains, he had emotional pains because of the Jews rejecting him, and he also cried over his friend Lazarus death before he resurrected him. Keep reading the rest of the chapter verse by verse instead of as a whole unit so that you can pick out other points that make the verses different from each other.

I don't know the point you are trying to make about Joseph's dream, but I can explain to you why MENE is used twice. This message was delivered during the time when Belshazzar and Nabonidus were co-rulers over Babylon. (That is why Daniel was to be third in the kindom, not a second as if there were only one king before him - Daniel 5:7) Daniel explains that the word MENE means "God has numbered the days of your kingdom and has finished it." (Daniel 5:26) Perhaps the word MENE was used twice to make it clear that BOTH Nabonidus and Belshazzar's reign would be coming to an end. This happened when Darius the Mede conquered Babylon that same night. (Daniel 5:30, 31)

The reason for repetition in the Bible is simple: it is either used for emphasis of an important matter, or because it is to show that their were 2 witnesses of an event, because "At the mouth of two witnesses or of three every matter must be established." (2 Corinthians 13:1) God is almighty and all-powerful and does not need to give us more than one witness, but he does this out of love for us and because he understands that some people are skeptics when learning about Him. Why do you think there are 4 gospels recorded about Jesus' life instead of just one? Why do you think the warnings and downfall of Israel and Judah are constantly discussed over and over again almost straight through from 2 Kings until Malachi? We as readers can benefit from these reminders. (Romans 15:4)

Answer 2

Jesus physique became broken to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus blood became spilled to grant us eternal existence. We injury bread and drink wine as a reminder of what Christ did for us. it is not literal. John 6:sixty 3 The Spirit supplies existence; the flesh counts for no longer something. The words I truly have spoken to you're spirit and that they are existence. Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, gave thank you and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "it is my physique given for you; try this in remembrance of me." (20) interior a similar way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the hot covenant in my blood, that's poured out for you. a million Corinthians eleven:26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's dying till he comes.

Answer 3

Because it explain,s why Christ came into the world and the
suffering,s he took before death and how God sent him
because it was for us he came and died.

Answer 4

I think basically because if its only said once, its easily overlooked.

Answer 5

Answer 6
