To: Hebrews 11:6
You should read the commentary I have on Isaiah from a series titled, "Word Biblical Commentary". Their commentary on Isaiah, is a 2 part series. In it the author, (John W. Watts), points out how Isaiah 53:13-53:12, was considered by the Religious leaders at the time to have pointed to what happened to Zerubabbel. To save time of typing, I just took a pic of the page for you to read it.

Later in the commentary, he expounds upon his theory that Zerubbabel was murdered, and suggests from his investigation of Jewish writings that at the time the Religious scholars thought the murder is what Isaiah had prophesied since Isaiah also prophesied of Cyrus and the return. In their bubble of not seeing the valley between the Mountains they erred.

To this day, the Jews use this and various other misguided beliefs to explain away, not only Isaiah's prophecies related to Christ, but of things learned from the Dead Sea Scrolls. As I stated before, I can understand the blindness 400 years before Christ showed up, not for those who were present when Christ walked amongst them.

The image is high enough quality for you to zoom in and read it.

I have a couple different commentaries by various authors on Isaiah. My library is slowly growing. I love books. It's much more relaxing to sit back on the couch to some soundscape music and a book than sitting in front of a pc screen all day.

I gather you're explaining their incomprehension rather than excusing it. But there are so very many exceptions who prove the rule, whom we'll enjoy an eternity with. I'm partial to Simeon and Anna.
