  1. Thank you for your in-depth explanation of Isaiah 53. I wish more people would read it and support the State of Israel. I believe you are the author of the 12 Tribes of Israel and where are they now? I read it many years ago and found it very enlightening. I give many of my FOI books away, and must order another copy.
    I am also using the book, The Most High God, by Dr. Renald Showers, as a help in my study of the books of Revelation and Daniel. I am Praying for FOI and staff. Blessings to you all, Because He Lives, Elaine

  2. Dear Mr Levy, thank you for writing and explaining Isaiah chapter 53. I am a gentile, follower of Jesus Christ the Messiah. When I read Isaiah 53 I was blessed as the Lord opened my eyes to confirm that Jesus Christ is the Messiah who came to save the world from sin. As I read Isaiah 53 and on, it became so obvious to me Isaiah was referring to the suffering messiah. I pray the Lord will open the eyes and soften the hearts of his people so they may see and know that their messiah is here now. May the peace and joy of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you today.
