From a Pure Torah perspective, there is zero evidence to support that Isaiah 53 is speaking of a human/god sacrifice. In fact, it can be irrefutably proven that Isaiah 53 is NOT talking about "the atoning blood of Yeshua".
The Torah does not say that a man, or a god could or would be a sacrifice of any kind. In fact Torah commands that we not deviate to the left or the right from what is written in Torah, nor to add or subtract from what is written.
If a man or a woman deviates to the left or to the right of Torah, then according to Torah, that person is a "false prophet"!
If the Torah does not command that Yeshua would replace the animal sacrifices, then the prophets (including Isaiah) would not state such a thing either.
Isaiah cannot be referring to Yeshua, because if he was, then he would be changing what is written in Torah and he would be direct violation of Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:31, thus he would have been deemed a false prophet based on Deuteronomy 13. Torah lists all sacrifices as animals. Never a human or god.
Again:
If Isaiah was changing Torah, by replacing the animal sacrifices, then Isaiah would be a false prophet.
In fact, what a prophet teaches is the main criteria for deterimining whether he is a True Prophet or a false prophet!
If anyone claims changes to Torah you can be assured that he is a false prophet!
Deuteronomy 13 (whole chapter) gives such criteria.
Even Isaiah himself stated:
Isaiah 8
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
The question is:
Would Isaiah have spoken the above words, but then, with his own mouth, proclaim changes to Torah?
Was Isaiah a hypocrite?
Would Isaiah attempt to lead people away from what was written in Torah? Torah does not mention any sacrifice other that the animal sacrifices.
Was he a true prophet or a false prophet?
Did Isaiah violate Deuteronomy 4:1-2? Torah does not mention a human/god sacrifice.
The answer is that Isaiah wasn’t speaking of Yeshua, because He wouldn’t have violated Torah, and in fact not a jot or tittle of Torah is changed in any way.
When keeping Pure Torah in context, it is absolutely obvious that Isaiah was not speaking of Yeshua coming to change the sacrificial system! To do so would have required many jots and tittles to be changed and would have been a direct violation of Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:31 (and numerous other passages)!

My friends,
Torah is an Immovable Rock!
And a wise man builds his house upon the Immovable Rock of Torah! When the storm comes, he will not be moved! But a foolish man claims that the Rock of Torah has been moved (changed), so he builds his house elsewhere, all the while claiming that he is on the Immovable Rock. When the storm rolls in, his home will be utterly destroyed!
************************************************************************
Beware of wolves wearing shepherd's clothing! You will recognize them by their words. They will tell you that portions of Torah have been changed! But what I say unto you is that until heaven and earth pass away, not even the smallest jot or the tiniest tittle will in any way pass from the law!
I urge each of you to obey Torah in the way that Torah states, and reject the false prophets that tell you that Torah has changed in even the smallest jot or the tiniest tittle! After all, that is what this website is all about!
May Yahovah bless you in accordance to your obedience to His Torah!
