• Thus far this great prophecy of the sufferings and death of the humbled Servant of the Lord has dealt with them mainly from the human and visible side: it now proceeds to deeper things, outside the range of human sight. Verses 10-12 predict what Jehovah Himself wrought, and what He will yet accomplish by means of it. (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• And that “it pleased the Lord” to do this, may seem to us an astounding statement; yet the explanation lies in the latter part of the verse: since the results that should be achieved were to be of such surpassing worth and wonder. A parallel thought as regards the Lord Jesus Himself seems to lie in the words, “Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross” (Heb. 12:2). (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• “He shall see His seed”. This carries our thoughts on to the Lord’s own words recorded in John 12:24. Falling into the ground and dying, as the “corn of wheat”, He brings forth “much fruit”, which will be “after His kind.” (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• “He shall prolong His days”, in spite of the fact that He was to be “cut off out of the land of the living”, as verse 8 has told us. His resurrection is not stated in so many words, but it is clearly implied in this wonderful prophecy. In risen life His days are prolonged as the days of eternity. (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
• “The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.” There have been devoted men who have served the Divine pleasure to a large extent, yet failing in many details. In the hands of the risen Servant all the pleasure of God will be fulfilled forever. We have to pass into the New Testament to discover what that pleasure is, and how it will reach its culmination in the new heaven and new earth of which Revelation 21 speaks. The old creation on its earthly side was placed in the hands of Adam, only to be completely marred. The new creation will abide in untarnished splendor in the hands of the risen Christ. (“Isaiah 53:10-55:13” by F.B. Hole)
