   No respectable, educated, trained Rabbi believes anything about Isaiah 53   
   except that it is a definite prophecy of the Messiah.  Many Jewish scrolls   
   have this passage outlined in black.  There are some Reformed Jews, and some   
   UN-Informed Jews who try to equate the words of Isaiah 53 to modern Israel;   
   but only becaue it is inconvenient for them to apply the words to the   
   Messiah.
