14...... Just as many were astonished at you, So His visage was marred more than any man, And His form more than the sons of men;15...... So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, And what they had not heard they shall consider.
Isaiah 52:14-15 (NKJV)
...... This person is none other then Jesus of Nazareth, "Messiah the Prince" cut off not for himself but for others. The others being all mankind so sins might be forgiven. His death was fulfillment of what the prophets foretold would happen. Even his.. rejection.. was foretold over 700 years before it happened.
3He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

2“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3“And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.

They will mourn for this one pierced as someone would mourn over the death of son. The will realize the one that they have rejected all along was their only hope.
10“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

6“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them.
7The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.

WHY WAIT ?
On the cross next to Jesus on both sides two thieves were crucified..... One spit on Jesus and asked to see a miracle the other said Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom... Jesus replied,.. “Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise”. Today you can have the same promise of salvation... Jesus the Messiah promised the thief, “Today thou shalt be with me in paradise” by believing and putting your trust in his work on the cross....... Jesus.. told.. Nicodemous about the way of salvation in the gospel of John.
John 3:15-17, ..15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
