• This being the prophetic report; who believes it? And further; who recognizes that the suffering Servant and the glorious Arm of Jehovah are one and the same Person? We must underline in our minds the last word of verse 1, for we should never have discerned it had not a revelation been made. A parallel thought occurs in Matthew 16:17, where Peter’s recognition and confession of Christ as “the Son of the living God”, was declared by our Lord to be the fruit of revelation from the Father.
