--------------------------------Isaiah 53--------------------------------
Isaiah 53:1
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of Yahovah revealed?
-----------------
The first question is:
Who has believed “whos” report?
The answer is:
Who has believed “Isaiah’s" report.
The second question is:
What is “our report”?
The answer is:
Isaiah’s “report” begins from the very beginning of his writing! His “report” can most simply be summed up in Isaiah 1:1-20. Take special note of verses 10 and 19-20.
Isaiah 1
10 Hear the word of Yahovah, You rulers of Sodom; Give ear to the Law of our God, You people of Gomorrah:
Isaiah 1
19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; 20 But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of Yahovah has spoken.

In other words, Isaiah 53:1 is saying:
Who has believed our [Isaiah and the Prophets] message? To whomever has believed Isaiah and the Prophet's message, and thus turns back to “the law of our God”, to those people, is the ARM OF YAH revealed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 53:2
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
-----------------
So the first question is:
Who shall grow up as a “tender plant” and have “no form nor comeliness when we see him”?
The answer is:
Whoever has believed “our report”, shall grow up as a “tender plant” and have “no form nor comeliness when “we” see him”!
So the second question is:
Who are the “we” that sees him but does not find “form”, “comeliness” or “beauty” enough in him that they should “desire him”?
The answer is:
Since the “we” does not desire “him”, the “we” are opposite of the “he”. So the “we” must be “those who do NOT believe “our report””.
In other words, Isaiah 53:2 is saying:
Whoever believes the report of Isaiah (and the prophets) shall grow up ”giving ear to the Law of our God”(Isaiah 1:10) amidst “A brood of evildoers”(Isaiah 1:4) that do not believe the report of Isaiah, and are thus not attracted to those who do believe Isaiah’s report. Thus the unbelievers do not desire to listen to them.
** The “ dry ground” is a poetic metaphor that means “the report” is not widely accepted in the land.
** The “tender plant” that comes up out of “dry ground” is a poetic metaphor that symbolizes how special and treasured are they who “believe the report”.

Isaiah 53:3
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
-----------------
Again, the question is:
Who is despised, rejected and acquainted with grief? Who did “we” hide our faces from?
The answer is:
Whoever has believed “our [Isaiah's] report” is “rejected of men” and “acquainted with grief”!
The next question is:
Who is the “we” that “hide their faces from him” and “esteemed him not”?
The answer is:
The ”brood of evil doers” (Isaiah 1:4) that has rejected ”Isaiah's report” are the ones who “hide their faces from him” and “esteemed him not”!
Again, what is “our report”?
The answer is:
Isaiah’s “report” can most simply be summed up in Isaiah’s opening paragraph, Isaiah 1:1-20.
In other words, Isaiah 53:3 is saying:
Whoever believes Isaiah's report will be despised and rejected of men. Such people will be mentally and/or physically abused and familiar with being persecuted. Those who do not “believe Isaiah's report”, hide themselves from those who do “believe Isaiah's report”. They “reject”, “despise”, "hide from", and “refuse to esteem” the ones who “believe Isaiah's report”.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 53:4
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Yahovah, and afflicted.
-----------------
In other words, Isaiah 53:4 is saying:
Whoever believes Isaiah's report, has grieved over, and has been saddened by those who do not “believe Isaiah report”. Yet when the ”unbelievers of Isaiah report” saw ”the believers of Isaiah report”, they thought ”the believers” as cursed by Yahovah because they believe Isaiah’s reports instead of their own reports!

Isaiah 53:5
5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
-----------------
In other words, Isaiah 53:5 is saying:
Whoever believes Isaiah’s message is stricken in his heart, he is disheartened for "the unbelievers"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 53:6
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

In other words, Isaiah 53:6 is saying:
