I doubt Isaiah would be pleased if all we use was Isaiah 53:5d and claim this as a promise that God will heal us, but then leave out the entire implications of this chapter! I think he’d be shattered, so what does God think when we seem to ignore the context of this very precious chapter about His suffering Son and use it to claim we will be healed? I think such a prayer/claim does this verse (Isaiah 53:5d) great violence. He made His own life a ransom for ours (Mark 10:45), and poured out His life’s blood as an ancient drink offering, but was all this excruciating suffering simply to cure our colds or take away our pain? If you look at this one verse which says “with his wounds we are healed”(Isaiah 53:5d), and 95% of the other verses, you can see that it fits perfectly within the context of our being redeemed by Christ and purchased by the precious blood of the Lamb of God (1st Pet 1:19). 10) which happens to be our guilt! So Jesus Christ, “poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12). 6), or “made his soul an offering for guilt” (v. 5d), but healed from what? How about our sins which “the Lord has laid on him” (v. 5c Rom 5:1), and it was by His wounds we are healed (v. 4), and was crushed for our iniquities, and by His chastisement, we have peace with God (v. 3), Who came to bear our griefs, sorrows and was considered afflicted by God (v. In reading Isaiah 53, some of the things that we see Isaiah focusing on by God’s Spirit, is Jesus was despised, rejected, a man of sorrows (v. Text taken out of context can become a pretext…and a false one at that! Context is king and no single verse should stand alone for a doctrinal belief. This introduces us to Isaiah 53 where we read about Jesus Christ Who “was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3a), and as “men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not”(Isaiah 53:3b), so unless we understand the context of Isaiah 53:5 that we can be healed by His stripes, we will risk taking it out of context, which has happened so very much. Kings shall shut their mouths because of him” (Isaiah 52:14-15a). Is Isaiah 53:5 a claim for healing? Can believer’s read that verse and claim it for themselves as I’ve heard many do? I have read this chapter from start to finish and have also noted that it appears Isaiah 52:13-15 is part of Isaiah 53 because the context is the suffering servant who was slain on behalf of those who trust in Him and it says, “As many were astonished at you-his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind -so shall he sprinkle many nations.
