Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at Him--His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness--"

And there's another one...prophecy Jesus fulfilled.

Micah 5:2

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”

Matthew 2:1-6

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’

Isaiah 52 is not a prophesy about Jesus, and neither is Isiah 53 while we are at it. Isa 52:14 says "Indeed my servant shall proper, be exalted and raised to great heights." Isaiah's servant (on numerous occasions) is identified as Israel.

How do we know that? Simple, you read the whole thing: Isaiah 41:8, "But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, seed of Abraham my friend"
Isaiah 44:1 "But hear, now, O Jacob My servant, Israel whom I have chosen!"
Isaiah 44:21 "Remember these things, O Jacob for you, O Israel, are My servant"
Isaiah 49:3 "And he said to me, "You are My servant, Israel in whom I glory.""

Your own verse (14) says that he will be disfigured beyond that of any man. Wow! let's read this again disfigured beyond that of any man. You mean no othe rhuman ever was so disfigured or that one could not tell if he was human or not? Neither is what the Gospels describe.

Isa 53:3-4, speak of a man afflicted and crushed by disease. Jesus, according to the Bible, was neither. 

The Isa 53:10 says that if he made himself a guilt offering he might have offspring and have a long life! Surely that doesn't apply to Jesus, does it? Or if you say it does, then he didn't make hismelf a guilt offeirng.

I would expect better from people who pour over the Bible as much as some claim they do, and with "spiritual discernment" at that.
